FAQs

How do I achieve the best finish with this paint?

For best results, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Apply two even coats with a good quality brush or roller, allowing recommended drying time between coats. Proper preparation is key.

Is Johnstone's MY Colour Paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it's a durable matt paint, for areas with very high moisture and condensation like bathrooms, a specific bathroom paint with enhanced mould resistance is typically recommended. This paint is ideal for general living areas, hallways, and kitchens.

What does "Intense Colour Technology" mean?

"Intense Colour Technology" refers to the advanced formulation using high-quality pigments that deliver rich, deep, and vibrant colours that are made to last and resist fading over time.

What does "Low VOC" mean for me and my home?

"Low VOC" (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air during and after application. This results in less odour and contributes to better indoor air quality, making it safer for you, your family, and pets.

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, Johnstone's MY Colour Paint is formulated specifically for interior use. For exterior projects, you should use a paint designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions.

How do I clean surfaces painted with this product?

Gently wipe painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild, non-abrasive detergent can be used. Avoid scrubbing harshly or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the matt finish.

How many coats are usually required?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability, especially when changing from a significantly different colour. One coat might be sufficient for a refresh of a similar existing colour, but two provide the best finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Ensure proper surface preparation, use a high-quality roller/brush, and apply even coats without overworking the paint. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures.

Paint not adhering or peeling.

The surface was likely not clean or properly primed. Scrape off loose paint, clean thoroughly, sand, and apply a suitable primer before repainting.

Colour appears different than expected.

Lighting conditions drastically affect how colour appears. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure full drying, as wet paint can look different.

Bubbles or blisters forming.

This can happen due to moisture, heat, or applying paint too thickly. Ensure surfaces are completely dry and apply thinner, even coats. Avoid painting in direct sunlight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally Conscious: Its low VOC content is a healthier choice for your home and the environment.
  • Versatile Application: Offers flexibility to update various interior elements, not just walls.

Cons

  • Requires Preparation: Achieving the best finish necessitates thorough cleaning and preparation of the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For bare or new surfaces, or if there's a significant colour change, a suitable primer or undercoat may be required.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid overspreading.
  4. Drying Time: Paint is typically touch-dry in 2-4 hours, and recoatable after 4 hours. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Ideal for interior walls, ceilings, plaster, wood, and previously painted surfaces (ensure they are sound).
  • Environment: Low VOC content makes it suitable for use in homes, including bedrooms and kitchens.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe painted surfaces gently with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
  • Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of leftover paint for future touch-ups to seamlessly repair minor marks or scuffs.
  • Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
