Product Information

Full details

The Johnstone's Matt Emulsion Tester Pot in Red is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to visualize a new color palette before committing to a full redecoration project. Its primary benefit is providing a low-odour, quick-drying finish that masks minor surface imperfections while offering a sophisticated, non-reflective matte look; however, the 75ml size is intended strictly for sampling and is not sufficient for full-wall coverage.

FAQs

How much area does a 75ml tester pot cover?

The tester pot is designed to cover an area of approximately 30cm square.

Can I use this paint on ceilings?

Yes, this Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is suitable for both walls and ceilings.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, this product features a low-odour formula, making it pleasant to use indoors.

Is this paint finish shiny?

No, it provides a smooth, non-reflective matte finish, which is ideal for a modern look.

How should I clean the surface before testing?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust or debris for the best results.

Can I store the paint if I don't use it all at once?

Yes, ensure the lid is tightly sealed and store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after application.

This is often caused by an uneven or dirty surface. Ensure the wall is cleaned and primed before applying the sample.

The colour looks different than expected.

Colours are heavily influenced by surrounding light. Observe the sample at different times of the day and under both natural and artificial light.

Paint is too thick to spread smoothly.

Stir the tester pot vigorously for 30-60 seconds to ensure the pigments and binders are properly mixed.

Pros and Cons

  • Easy to apply with a professional matt finish
  • Effective at masking minor surface imperfections
  • Low-odour formula for comfortable application

  • Small volume limited to testing/sampling only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for testing, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. If testing on a previously painted surface, the matte finish will adhere best to clean, primed, or properly sanded walls. While this emulsion is designed for walls and ceilings, avoid using it on surfaces prone to high moisture, such as the inside of a shower cubicle. When you are finished with your sample, store the pot in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the remaining paint from drying out. If you notice any separation in the paint, stir it thoroughly with a clean stick or brush before application.
