Designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to elevate their interior spaces, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint offers a durable, high-sheen finish that effectively reflects light to make rooms feel brighter and more vibrant. This paint is ideal for refreshing walls and ceilings, providing a smooth application and a scrub-resistant surface that stands up to daily wear. One caveat is that because of its high-sheen nature, this finish may highlight imperfections or uneven textures on walls more readily than a flat or matte paint would.

This paint is designed for standard living spaces. For bathrooms, it is generally recommended to use a paint specifically formulated for high-humidity environments.
Yes, this formula is specifically developed to provide a smooth, durable finish on both walls and ceilings.
While drying times vary based on temperature and humidity, the formula is quick-drying, usually allowing for a second coat within a few hours.
If you are painting over existing clean, painted walls, a primer may not be necessary. However, if the surface is porous or bare, a primer is essential for proper adhesion.
Since this is an emulsion paint, you can typically clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after application.
Ensure you are using a quality roller, avoid overworking the paint, and maintain a 'wet edge' while applying.
The high-sheen nature reflects light off imperfections; sand the wall smooth and use a filler before applying your first coat.
Silk finishes often require two coats for full opacity; ensure the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the surface to remove dirt, grease, and loose debris. If you are painting over a porous or bare surface, use a suitable primer first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint using a roller for larger wall areas and a brush for cutting into edges and corners. When finished, keep the room well-ventilated to assist with drying. For ongoing care, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges; a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water is usually sufficient for cleaning the scrub-resistant surface. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
