FAQs

Is Johnstones Covaplus Matt suitable for bathrooms?

While durable, it is primarily an interior wall paint. In bathrooms with high steam, it is recommended to use a specific moisture-resistant paint.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This product is formulated specifically for interior walls and ceilings. Use appropriate primers or dedicated wood/metal paints for those surfaces.

How long should I wait between coats?

Under normal conditions, it is typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 4 hours.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Is it a bright white or an off-white?

This product provides a standard, crisp white finish suitable for ceilings and walls.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application

This is usually due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all dust, grease, and loose paint are removed before applying the next coat.

Poor coverage or 'see-through' results

The surface may be too porous. Apply a primer or a mist coat first, and ensure you are not thinning the paint excessively with water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a sophisticated, non-reflective flat finish
  • Easy to clean and maintain in residential settings
  • Low odor compared to solvent-based alternatives
  • Excellent for both new and previously painted interior surfaces
  • Reliable white color consistency across batches

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms without proper ventilation
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Drying times can be affected by high humidity or low temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If the surface is porous, a mist coat (paint thinned with water) may be necessary to prime the wall.

  • Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior wall surfaces like plaster, drywall, and masonry.
  • Application: Can be applied via brush, roller, or spray equipment. Stir thoroughly before use.
  • Care: For routine maintenance, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can damage the matte finish.
  • Storage: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, protecting it from frost and extreme heat.
