Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Beige

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It can be applied over plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and sound.

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability. However, if painting over a very dark or contrasting colour, a third coat may be necessary to achieve full opacity.

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific drying times on the product tin, as environmental conditions can affect drying.

Yes, its washable and durable properties make it suitable for kitchens and areas prone to spills and marks. For high humidity environments like bathrooms, ensure good ventilation to aid drying and prevent moisture issues. For areas with very high condensation, specialist bathroom paints may offer enhanced mould resistance.

Clean all painting equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then allow to air dry.

While formulated with a low odour, some very sensitive individuals may still detect a faint smell during and immediately after application. Ensuring good ventilation during and after painting will help dissipate any lingering odour quickly.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply paint evenly, avoiding excessive pressure on the roller. Maintain a wet edge and apply in consistent sections. Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred.

Check room temperature and humidity. Paint dries best in well-ventilated areas and temperatures between 10-25°C. Increase ventilation if needed.

Apply additional coats, allowing full drying time between each. For very dark underlying colours, a primer or an extra coat might be necessary.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, sound, and properly primed if necessary before painting. Remove loose paint, clean, and re-prime before re-applying.
