Johnstone's Washable Matt Tough Paint - Natural Sage - 2.5L

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. However, a single coat may suffice if recoating a similar shade on a well-prepared surface.

Yes, its washable and durable properties make it suitable for kitchens. For bathrooms, while it tolerates occasional splashes, in areas of high condensation or direct water contact, a dedicated bathroom paint with enhanced moisture and mould resistance is generally recommended.

While the paint is touch-dry in 2-4 hours, it requires approximately 7-14 days to fully cure and achieve its maximum durability and washable properties. Avoid cleaning the surface vigorously before this period.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive household detergent. Gently wipe the affected area. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals, which could damage the matt finish.

A primer is recommended for bare, new plaster or very porous surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is usually not necessary, though a light sanding might be beneficial.

No, Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion is specifically formulated to maintain its matt finish even after being wiped clean. Its durable composition resists burnishing that can cause a sheen on standard matt paints.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth) and consider a primer if the surface was very porous. Apply paint with consistent pressure and avoid overloading your brush or roller. Two thin, even coats are always better than one thick coat.

Check the room temperature and humidity; paint dries slower in cold, damp conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and doors. Avoid applying paint too thickly.

Ensure the paint has fully cured (typically 7-14 days) before attempting to clean. Use only a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Harsh scrubbing or strong cleaners can damage the matt finish.

While low odour, some individuals are more sensitive. Always ensure maximum ventilation during and after painting by keeping windows and doors open. The odour should dissipate completely once dry and aired.
