Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, smooth finish on interior walls and ceilings. This water-based, low-odour formula provides excellent coverage and dries rapidly, making it perfect for quick home refreshes; however, users should note that the silk finish highlights surface imperfections more readily than traditional matte paints, requiring well-prepared walls for the best results.

While this paint is for interior walls and ceilings, it is generally recommended to use specialised moisture-resistant or 'kitchen and bathroom' paints in high-humidity areas.
Yes, it is a water-based formula, which makes cleanup easy with just soap and water.
The paint is quick-drying, but exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity; typically, it is touch-dry within a few hours.
No, it is a low-odour formula, making it much more pleasant to use in enclosed indoor spaces compared to solvent-based paints.
For best adhesion, you should lightly sand the glossy surface to provide a 'key' and remove any sheen before applying the emulsion.
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and do not over-brush the area; apply the paint in long, smooth strokes.
If covering a dark or vivid colour, apply a suitable primer or an additional coat of paint to build opacity.
Ensure the surface was free of dirt, loose paint, and moisture before initial application; clean and sand the area before repainting.
Before you begin, ensure the room is well-ventilated. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed. This product is compatible with most standard interior primers, especially when covering porous surfaces like fresh plaster. For optimal results, use high-quality synthetic brushes and medium-pile rollers. After application, clean tools immediately with warm soapy water. To maintain the finish, wipe down walls with a soft, damp cloth if necessary, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the silk sheen.
