Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While it is durable and wipeable, this is a standard matt emulsion. For areas with constant high steam or moisture, a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint may be preferable.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. Use dedicated wood or metal paints for those surfaces.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are sufficient for a solid, even finish, though porous or dark surfaces may require a third coat.

Is it low-odor?

Johnstone's emulsion is designed with modern water-based technology to ensure it is relatively low-odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

How do I store leftover paint?

Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Ensure the rim is clean before closing to maintain an airtight seal.

Troubleshooting

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure the surface is properly primed and use high-quality tools. Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

Paint is dripping during application

Avoid overloading the roller or brush. Use a paint tray with a grid to remove excess paint before application.

Slow drying time

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. High humidity can significantly delay drying times.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, wipeable finish for long-term maintenance
  • Effective at hiding wall imperfections
  • Easy to apply with a smooth, creamy texture
  • Professional-grade quality suitable for DIY projects
  • Fast-drying formula

Cons

  • Matte finishes may show scuff marks more easily than high-gloss alternatives
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results
  • Limited to interior use only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use a mist coat (a diluted mixture of water and paint) to prime the surface before applying full coats.

  • Application: Can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray equipment. Apply in steady, even strokes to ensure uniformity.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for most interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
  • Care: Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7-14 days before attempting to wipe the surface. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge with mild soapy water if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads to maintain the matte finish integrity.
