Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint - Blue

This emulsion paint is formulated for interior walls and ceilings.

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted or porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be beneficial to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.

Typically, two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability, especially when changing a significantly darker colour or painting over an uneven surface. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Johnstones Washable Matt Paint features a quick-drying formula, allowing for recoating in a few hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for exact drying times under ideal conditions.

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner for everyday marks and spills. Gently wipe the affected area without excessive scrubbing to maintain the matt finish.

While highly washable, for areas with very high humidity or direct water contact, a paint specifically formulated for kitchens and bathrooms with enhanced moisture and steam resistance might be more suitable.

Yes, this paint is suitable for application with both rollers and brushes to achieve smooth, even coverage on your walls and ceilings.

Clean up spills immediately with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet. For dried spills, carefully scrape with a plastic scraper and then clean with warm, soapy water.

Ensure proper surface preparation (clean, dry, smooth). Use high-quality brushes or rollers and apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Ensure the paint has fully cured (this can take longer than just being dry to the touch, often several days or weeks). Use a soft, damp cloth with only a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the matt finish.

Check room ventilation; poor air circulation can prolong drying times. Ensure the ambient temperature is within recommended ranges (typically 10-25°C). Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
