FAQs
How much area will 2.5L of paint cover?
A 2.5L can of Johnstone's Ceiling Paint will cover approximately 10 square meters per litre, so expect about 25 square meters of coverage.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
The paint is touch-dry in 1-2 hours. However, allow for a longer time for complete drying, depending on the environmental conditions.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While this paint is suitable for most interior ceilings, ensure your bathroom has adequate ventilation to allow the paint to cure properly.
Do I need to prime the ceiling before painting?
In most cases, priming isn't necessary, but if the ceiling is very porous or has significant stains, consider using a primer first.
How many coats of paint should I apply?
Typically, two thin coats are recommended for the best coverage and finish. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
How do I store leftover paint?
Seal the can tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is this paint washable?
The paint is designed to be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but avoid scrubbing, as this may affect the finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is dripping or running.
Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the roller or brush. Ensure you're not applying too much paint at once.
Paint isn't covering well.
Apply a second coat after the first has dried. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Cracks reappearing after painting.
Ensure you've used the product as directed; if the cracks reappear, it might indicate more significant structural issues that need addressing before repainting.
