Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's Walls & Ceilings Silk Emulsion Paint in Pink is ideal for homeowners seeking a smooth, elegant finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is excellent coverage with a quick-drying, low-odour formula. A potential caveat is that it's designed for interior use only. This water-based paint offers a sophisticated, low-sheen appearance, easy application, and a durable, long-lasting result.

FAQs

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings.

How do I clean up paint spills or tools?

Clean tools and any spills immediately after use with warm, soapy water. The paint is water-based.

Is this paint suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be used, it's recommended for bathrooms and kitchens to use a paint specifically formulated for high-moisture areas or to apply an appropriate sealant over this silk emulsion for enhanced durability and moisture resistance.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. You can typically apply a second coat after a few hours, but drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.

What does 'Vinyl Silk Emulsion' mean?

It refers to a water-based paint with a vinyl binder, providing a smooth, slightly shiny (silk) finish that is durable and easy to clean.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint with this product?

It's best to lightly sand and prime any existing gloss surfaces before applying this emulsion paint to ensure proper adhesion.

What is the coverage rate of this 2.5L tin?

The paint offers excellent coverage, but the exact area covered will depend on the surface porosity and application method. Refer to the product tin for specific coverage estimates.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to spread.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of water (no more than 5% by volume) can be added, but excessive water may affect coverage and finish.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure the paint is applied evenly and without overloading the brush or roller. Work in consistent strokes and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage on a single coat.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow the first coat to dry fully before applying a second.

Paint is not drying.

Check room temperature and humidity. Very cold or humid conditions can slow drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
