Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Wall & Ceiling Paint in Frosted Silver is designed for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a sophisticated, non-reflective finish for interior spaces. Its key benefit is superior, concentrated coverage that effectively conceals surface imperfections, resulting in a modern and luxurious aesthetic. While the product is highly durable and easy to apply, users should note that as a matte emulsion, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas rather than high-moisture zones like bathrooms or kitchens.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in the bathroom?

This paint is designed for standard living spaces. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where a dedicated moisture-resistant paint is required.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is quick-drying, typically touch-dry in 1-2 hours, though you should wait for the manufacturer-recommended time before applying a second coat.

Do I need to use a primer?

If the wall is already painted and in good condition, you may not need a primer. However, for new plaster or porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is recommended.

How many coats will I need?

While the paint has excellent coverage, two coats are generally recommended to achieve the true, rich Frosted Silver colour and a uniform finish.

How do I clean my brushes after painting?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers easily with warm water and mild detergent.

Can I use this on wood or metal surfaces?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings and will not adhere properly to wood or metal.

Troubleshooting

Paint is dripping or running during application

You are likely loading too much paint onto the roller or brush. Use less paint and ensure it is distributed evenly across the applicator.

The finish looks patchy after the first coat

This is common with many emulsions. Ensure the surface was properly primed if it was previously porous, and apply a second consistent coat to achieve full depth.

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after drying

This usually indicates the surface was not clean or contained moisture/grease during application. Scrape back, sand, and re-prime the area before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If the wall is newly plastered, ensure it is fully cured and consider applying a mist coat first.

  1. Preparation: Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth. Wipe down with a damp cloth.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a high-quality roller for walls and a brush for cutting in.
  3. Drying: Allow the first coat to dry completely—usually within a few hours—before applying a second coat if necessary.
  4. Care: Clean tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. To maintain the finish, wipe walls gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if cleaning is required; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
