Johnstone's Anti-Bacterial Matt Paint - Grey - 2.5 Litres

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is suitable for plaster, wallpaper (that is properly prepared and adhered), and previously painted surfaces, provided they are in good condition and properly prepared.

Yes, the anti-bacterial properties make it a good choice for bathrooms. However, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, which is crucial for any interior paint.

Drying times can vary based on conditions. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. For full curing and maximum durability, allow several days.
