Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is designed for both professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking for a sophisticated, low-sheen finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the smooth, creamy consistency that provides excellent coverage while effectively minimizing surface imperfections for a flawless look. While highly durable and wipeable, users should note that as a matte paint, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas to maintain its pristine appearance over time.

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

This paint is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. It is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

Do I need to use a primer?

For bare or very porous surfaces, a mist coat of watered-down emulsion is recommended. For previously painted walls in good condition, a primer is usually not necessary.

How long does it take to dry?

It is a quick-drying formula, though touch-dry times can vary based on ambient room temperature and humidity.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, it is designed to be wipeable, meaning you can gently remove dust or light marks with a damp cloth.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be suitable for both walls and ceilings.

Troubleshooting

Paint is dripping or running during application

You may be overloading the brush or roller. Apply thinner coats and distribute the paint more evenly.

Visible roller marks on the wall

Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and not overworking the paint once it begins to dry.

Poor adhesion or flaking

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free of dust or oils before painting. If the wall was previously painted with gloss, it must be sanded first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality creamy texture for easy application
  • Excellent opacity and coverage
  • Masks surface imperfections effectively
  • Wipeable finish for easier maintenance
  • Versatile for both walls and ceilings

Cons

  • Matte finish may show scuffs more easily than silk or gloss in high-traffic areas
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces to ensure longevity
  • Not intended for areas with high moisture like bathrooms or kitchens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by preparing the surface: clean walls of dust, grease, and loose paint before application. If you are painting onto a porous surface, a mist coat may be required first. For application, use a high-quality roller for large areas and a synthetic brush for corners and trim. When cleaning the finished walls, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the matte texture. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
