Johnstone's Paint - Midnight Sapphire - Matt

This matt emulsion paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and suitable for emulsion paint.

The wall should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint. Sand glossy surfaces and wipe clean. New plaster needs to be fully cured.

While not explicitly stated, priming is generally recommended for new or problematic surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. For new plaster, a mist coat is often advised.

The paint dries quickly, but specific drying times for recoating should be checked on the product's packaging. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

While it can be used for the whole room, this paint is particularly marketed for creating a 'feature wall' due to its vivid colour. Using it throughout an entire room may result in a very intense look.

Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For cleaning decorated surfaces, use a soft damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.

This is a matt emulsion typically designed for general living spaces. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a paint specifically formulated for those conditions (e.g., kitchen & bathroom paint) might be more suitable.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that paint was applied evenly. Check for adequate paint coverage and apply a second coat if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Colours can appear differently under various lighting conditions and on different surfaces. Consider purchasing a tester pot first. Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly as contents may settle.

Ensure you are using the correct tools (e.g., suitable roller or brush) and applying with even, consistent strokes. Avoid overspreading the paint.
