Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is a high-quality paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to achieve a smooth, sophisticated finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit lies in its creamy texture, which provides excellent coverage and minimizes surface imperfections for a professional-looking result. One caveat to keep in mind is that while the finish is durable and wipeable, it is specifically formulated as a matte paint, which may highlight different textures compared to high-gloss alternatives.

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

This paint is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, consider a specialized moisture-resistant kitchen and bathroom paint.

Is the paint easy to clean?

Yes, it is wipeable, meaning you can gently clean light marks with a damp cloth.

Does it need a primer?

If you are painting over old, stable paint, a primer is not always necessary. However, for fresh plaster or porous surfaces, a primer is highly recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

It is formulated for quick drying, though the exact time depends on room temperature and humidity levels.

Can I use this on wood?

This is specifically an emulsion for walls and ceilings. It is not intended for use on wood, trim, or metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering in one coat

Apply a second coat after the first has fully dried; matte paints often require two coats for a perfectly uniform, deep color finish.

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint is peeling or flaking

Check the surface preparation; ensure the wall was clean and free of loose debris or oil before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply with a smooth, creamy consistency
  • Excellent at concealing surface imperfections
  • Provides a modern and sophisticated matte look
  • Wipeable finish for easier maintenance
  • Fast drying time for efficient project completion

Cons

  • Matte finishes can sometimes show scuffs more readily than satin or silk
  • Limited to interior wall and ceiling applications
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If the surface is porous or freshly plastered, a mist coat (thinned paint) or a dedicated primer is recommended to ensure proper adhesion.

Apply the paint at room temperature for the best flow and drying results. Once applied, allow the paint to cure fully before attempting any cleaning. When maintenance is required, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust or marks. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte finish and create shiny spots on the surface.
