FAQs

What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint on?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It provides a durable and washable finish suitable for most indoor living spaces.

How many coats do I need?

Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth, durability, and even coverage. For significant colour changes or very porous surfaces, a third coat might be beneficial after the previous coats are dry.

How long does it takes for the paint to dry?

Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is quick-drying. While it may be touch dry within 1-2 hours, always refer to the specific instructions on your paint can for recoating times, which can vary. Allow several days for the paint to fully cure and achieve its maximum durability and washability.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, its washable and durable properties make it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, as it can withstand moisture and cleaning. However, for areas with very high humidity or direct water contact, a specific kitchen and bathroom paint designed for extreme moisture resistance might offer superior long-term performance.

How do I clean marks off the wall?

Simply wipe away everyday marks and spills with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the matt finish. For best results, clean spills as soon as possible.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint features a low odour formula, which makes the painting experience more pleasant and allows you to use your painted rooms sooner without discomfort from strong fumes.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying.

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared before painting. Apply paint evenly, ensuring consistent roller pressure. A second coat, applied after the first is fully dry, often resolves patchiness.

Marks are not wiping away easily, or leaving a slight residue.

For best results, clean spills promptly before they dry. Use a soft, damp cloth with plain water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. Ensure the paint has fully cured (typically 7-14 days) before attempting vigorous cleaning.

Paint is taking a long time to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors. Maintain a suitable room temperature (typically between 10-30°C). Avoid applying paint too thickly.

Noticeable paint odour persists after drying.

While this paint has a low odour formula, some residual smell can linger. Continue to ventilate the room well for several days after painting. The smell should dissipate completely over time.
