Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Antique Cream

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings, particularly suitable for kitchens and other high-moisture or high-traffic areas.

Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve the best depth of colour and durability. However, this may vary depending on the original surface colour and condition.

The paint is usually touch dry within 2-4 hours. You should allow 4-6 hours between coats for optimal adhesion and finish. Full hardness and washability may take longer, often up to 7 days.

Yes, once fully cured, its durable matt finish is washable. You can gently wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove everyday marks and grease.

A primer is not always necessary, especially if painting over previously emulsioned walls in good condition. However, for bare plaster, new drywall, or surfaces with strong colours, a suitable primer or a diluted first coat is recommended for best results.

This Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion Paint is available in a 2.5L tin, perfect for most kitchen or small room projects.

Yes, Johnstone's offers this kitchen matt emulsion paint in a variety of colours, including White, Beige, Grey, Blue, and Green, allowing you to choose the perfect shade for your home.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Apply a second, even coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely. For bare or highly contrasting surfaces, sometimes a third thin coat may be beneficial.

The surface might not have been clean or dry enough. Ensure all dust, grease, and loose material are thoroughly removed. For very smooth or glossy surfaces, a light sanding and wipe down can improve adhesion. Consider using a suitable primer for problem surfaces.

Apply paint in thin, even coats and maintain a 'wet edge' to prevent lap marks. Use a good quality roller with the appropriate pile length for the surface, and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent pressure during application.

High temperatures or strong drafts can accelerate drying. Paint in moderate conditions, close windows or turn off fans if necessary. Work in smaller sections to maintain a wet edge. Consider adding a paint extender if conditions are unavoidable (check product compatibility).
