Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's Silk Emulsion paint in Antique Cream is designed for homeowners looking to elevate their interior living spaces with a sophisticated, high-sheen finish. Its reflective properties help brighten smaller or darker rooms, making it an excellent choice for walls and ceilings that require extra light. While it offers superior durability and scrub resistance, users should note that the high-sheen finish tends to highlight surface imperfections, so careful wall preparation is recommended before application.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is durable, it is not explicitly labeled as a kitchen/bathroom paint. For high-humidity areas, ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent moisture accumulation.

Does it require a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted, or primed surface, you can apply it directly. New or highly porous surfaces should be primed first.

How long should I wait between coats?

The formula is quick-drying, but it is best to allow at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on the ambient temperature and room humidity.

How do I clean my brushes?

Wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid overloading it; maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to self-level properly.

Paint is not adhering correctly

Check that the wall surface is clean and free of grease or dust; use a primer if the surface was previously painted with a high-gloss or unstable coating.

Surface imperfections are too visible

Since silk finish highlights texture, sand the wall smooth with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a filler to any holes or cracks before re-painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reflects light effectively to brighten rooms
  • Easy to clean due to scrub-resistant finish
  • Low-odour formula enhances user comfort during application
  • Quick-drying for efficient project completion
  • Provides a smooth, professional-looking result

Cons

  • High sheen can emphasize wall blemishes or uneven surfaces
  • Requires proper surface preparation for the best finish
  • Less forgiving than matte finishes when touching up

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. If you are painting over a porous surface, apply a suitable primer first to prevent uneven absorption. For the best result, use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for the main wall surfaces.

Maintain the finish by wiping down walls with a damp cloth or a mild, non-abrasive detergent when necessary; the scrub-resistant nature of the paint will allow for gentle cleaning without damaging the sheen. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
