Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to revitalize their interior walls and ceilings with a vibrant, high-sheen finish. This product is best suited for those seeking a balance between aesthetic appeal and high-traffic durability, as it offers a scrub-resistant surface that holds up well over time. While the formula is designed for ease of use and quick drying, users should note that its signature silky sheen may highlight underlying surface imperfections more than a flat or matte paint would.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on both walls and ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, its scrub-resistant properties make it durable enough for hallways and busy living areas.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, it features a low-odour formula, making it more comfortable for indoor use.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is an emulsion-based paint, you can clean your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water.

Will the paint reflect too much light?

It provides a silky sheen that reflects light to brighten a room, but it is not as reflective as a high-gloss paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears uneven or patchy after drying

Ensure that the paint was mixed thoroughly before use and that the surface was properly primed.

Surface imperfections are too visible

The high sheen of silk paint highlights wall texture; consider performing additional sanding or applying a thin base layer to level the surface.

Paint takes longer than expected to dry

High humidity or low temperatures can slow drying; ensure the room is well-ventilated during application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and scrub-resistance
  • Beautiful light-reflecting silky sheen
  • Fast drying time for efficient project turnaround
  • Minimal odour during and after application
  • Provides smooth, professional-grade coverage

Cons

  • Sheen finish may accentuate surface defects
  • Not suitable for high-glare environments where reflection is unwanted
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For optimal results, patch and sand any cracks or uneven areas on the wall or ceiling before applying a primer if necessary. Application can be performed with either a brush or a medium-pile roller. To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may dull the silky sheen over time. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
