FAQs

How do I clean marks from the painted surface?

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. The paint is formulated to allow easy cleaning without leaving shiny patches or fading the colour.

How many coats of paint will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve full, even coverage and the desired depth of colour. On new or significantly darker surfaces, an additional coat may be beneficial.

What is the drying time between coats?

The paint is quick-drying, usually allowing for recoating in 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Always refer to the product label for specific guidance.

Can this paint be used on exterior surfaces or wood?

No, this Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for exterior use or for painting wood or metal surfaces.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

This paint provides a durable matt finish, which helps to minimize the appearance of minor surface imperfections and offers a contemporary, sophisticated look.

Is the low odour formula noticeable?

Yes, the paint features a low odour formula designed to minimize the strong smell typically associated with painting, making for a more comfortable application experience indoors.

Do I need to prime my walls before using this paint?

While not always necessary on previously painted surfaces in good condition, priming is recommended for new plaster, porous surfaces, or when making a significant colour change to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven Finish or Patchiness

Ensure proper surface preparation and apply paint evenly, avoiding over-spreading or too much pressure. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint Not Adhering (peeling, flaking)

Verify the surface is clean, dry, and properly primed, especially for new, glossy, or porous surfaces. Remove any loose material before painting.

Visible Brush or Roller Marks

Use high-quality brushes/rollers, apply paint in consistent, overlapping strokes, and avoid re-working paint that has already started to dry. Maintain a wet edge.

Colour Does Not Match Expectation

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Lighting conditions in the room can significantly alter how a colour appears. Apply a second coat to achieve true colour depth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation

For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material.

  1. Clean: Wipe down walls to remove dust, dirt, and grease. Use a mild detergent if necessary, then rinse thoroughly.
  2. Fill: Repair any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  3. Prime (if needed): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or significant colour changes, apply a suitable primer or mist coat (paint diluted with water according to manufacturer guidelines).
  4. Sand: Lightly sand previously painted glossy surfaces to create a key for adhesion.
  5. Mask: Use painter's tape to protect skirting boards, architraves, and other areas not to be painted.

Application

  • Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
  • Apply with a brush or roller for a smooth, even finish.
  • Typically, two coats are recommended for full coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times, generally 2-4 hours).
  • Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or in highly humid conditions.

Compatibility

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most common interior surfaces including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (after proper preparation). It is not recommended for floors or exterior use.

Care & Maintenance

The washable matt finish allows for easy cleaning.

  • For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent.
  • Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the paint finish.
  • Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining.
  • Regular dusting will help maintain the fresh appearance of your painted surfaces.
