FAQs

Is Johnstone's MY Colour Durable Matt Paint suitable for bathrooms?

While durable, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms, we generally recommend paints specifically formulated with enhanced mould and mildew resistance. This paint is excellent for busy, but typically drier, areas like hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms.

How many coats of Nightcap - Black are typically needed?

For best results and to achieve the full depth of the Nightcap - Black colour, two coats are usually recommended. However, this can vary depending on the original surface colour and porosity.

Can I use this paint on furniture made of laminate or previously varnished wood?

Yes, you can use it on furniture. For laminate or previously varnished surfaces, light sanding to create a key and application of a suitable multi-surface primer are highly recommended to ensure proper adhesion and a durable finish.

What does 'Low VOC' mean for me?

Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air during and after application. This contributes to better indoor air quality, making it a safer choice for you and your family, especially in enclosed spaces.

How long should I wait between coats?

Info needed: [Specific drying time between coats for Johnstone's MY Colour Matt Paint]. Generally, water-based matt paints require 2-4 hours to be touch dry and ready for a recoat, but always refer to the specific product label for precise instructions.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, due to its durable matt finish, surfaces painted with Johnstone's MY Colour paint can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. This makes it practical for areas prone to marks and scuffs.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, maintaining a wet edge. Avoid overspreading or applying too thinly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Colour not as deep or intense as expected.

Dark colours often require two full coats for optimal depth and intensity. Ensure the surface was properly primed, especially if painting over a much lighter colour. Natural and artificial lighting can also affect how a colour appears; observe in different conditions.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Proper surface preparation is crucial. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, dull (lightly sanded if glossy), and free of any dust or grease. Priming may be necessary for challenging surfaces.

Paint takes a long time to dry.

Ensure good ventilation in the room by opening windows. Avoid painting in high humidity or very cold temperatures, as these can significantly prolong drying times. Apply paint in recommended film thickness; excessively thick coats take longer to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth.
Priming (Recommended): For best results, especially when painting over a significantly lighter colour or porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer. This helps achieve colour depth and uniform absorption.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and periodically during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For the most intense and even finish, two coats are usually recommended, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Other Colours: While this specific variant is Nightcap - Black, Johnstone's MY Colour range offers a wide selection of other shades for complementary or contrasting schemes. (e.g., Pink, Blue, White, Beige, Grey).

Care

Cleaning: Due to its durable nature, painted surfaces can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
Storage: Store unused paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
