The Johnstone's Matt Emulsion Paint in Steel Smoke is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a modern, sophisticated aesthetic on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is a smooth, non-reflective finish that expertly masks surface imperfections, making it an excellent choice for older homes or busy living spaces. While it offers a professional-grade appearance, users should note that as a matte finish, it is best suited for low-traffic areas where accidental scuffs are less likely to occur compared to silk or gloss alternatives.

This paint is designed for standard living areas. For high-humidity rooms, a specialized kitchen or bathroom paint is recommended.
Coverage typically ranges from 12 to 14 square meters per liter, though this depends heavily on the porosity of the wall surface.
If painting over previously painted sound walls, a primer is not always necessary. However, new plaster must be primed with a mist coat.
Typically, the paint will be touch-dry in a few hours, but it is best to wait 4 hours before applying a second coat.
The finish is durable, but because it is matte, heavy scrubbing may affect the finish. Wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth.
A synthetic brush is ideal for cutting in edges, and a medium-pile roller is best for walls and ceilings.
Ensure the surface was properly primed or sealed and that you are using enough paint on the roller; avoid over-spreading.
This is often caused by painting over a dusty or greasy surface; ensure the wall is thoroughly cleaned before starting.
Use a quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by not letting the paint dry before overlapping the next stroke.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use a mist coat (a diluted mixture of paint and water) to seal the surface first. For optimal results, stir the paint thoroughly before use. Application can be performed using a brush for edges and a roller for larger areas. Once finished, store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out. If touch-ups are needed later, keep a small amount of the original batch to ensure a perfect color match.
