Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's Soft Sheen emulsion paint in Toasted Beige is ideal for homeowners and decorators seeking a sophisticated, velvety finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is providing superior coverage with a subtle, luxurious sheen that minimizes imperfections. A minor caveat is that the soft sheen finish may show brush marks if not applied carefully, compared to a matte paint.

FAQs

What is the best way to clean the soft sheen finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild detergent can be applied gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this paint be used in a high-moisture area like a bathroom?

While wipeable, this is a vinyl soft sheen emulsion and may not be ideal for areas with constant high humidity or direct water contact. Consider specialized bathroom paints for such areas.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary based on conditions. Typically, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 4 hours. Always refer to the product can for precise drying times.

What is the difference between Soft Sheen and Satin finish?

Soft Sheen offers a subtler, more velvety sheen compared to the slightly higher gloss of a Satin finish. It's designed to be less reflective than Satin.

Do I need a primer before applying this paint?

A primer is recommended for bare surfaces, new plaster, or when painting over dark, vibrant colours to ensure even coverage and true colour representation.

Is this paint suitable for wood or metal surfaces?

This is an emulsion paint designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not suitable for direct application on wood or metal; a specific primer and coating system would be required for those materials.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering evenly

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply a second coat, ensuring the first coat is fully dry. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Visible brush marks or roller texture

Apply paint with even, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Ensure adequate lighting to see application as you go. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Paint appears patchy or inconsistent in sheen

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply paint in consistent wet edges, working in manageable sections. Avoid stopping and starting mid-wall. Ensure uniform application thickness.

Surface imperfections are still visible

Ensure all cracks and holes were filled and sanded smooth before painting. For significant imperfections, consider a filler or a primer specifically designed to hide surface flaws.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a luxurious and subtle soft sheen finish.
  • Offers excellent coverage, potentially reducing paint usage.
  • Wipeable surface makes cleaning and maintenance easy.
  • Helps to minimize the appearance of imperfections on walls and ceilings.
  • The Toasted Beige color is a versatile and appealing neutral shade.
  • Easy to apply due to its smooth and creamy texture.

Cons

  • The soft sheen finish may highlight imperfections more than a matte finish if the surface is not prepared well.
  • May require careful application to avoid visible brush strokes.
  • As an emulsion, it is primarily for interior use.
  • Specific color matching might be limited to Johnstone's range.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark colours or bare plaster.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions. Avoid painting in very damp or cold conditions.

Compatibility: This emulsion paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior paint surfaces, provided they are properly prepared.

Care: To clean the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which may damage the finish.
