Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, its durable matt finish and advanced formula make it ideal for busy areas, including kitchens and family bathrooms, where resilience to moisture and frequent cleaning is beneficial. Ensure proper ventilation during and after painting in high-humidity areas.

How many coats will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability, especially when covering a darker existing colour or bare surface. However, this can vary based on surface condition and application method.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is versatile and suitable for interior furniture and cabinets. For best results, ensure the furniture is properly prepared, cleaned, and lightly sanded, and consider a suitable primer for wood or laminate surfaces.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. 'Low VOC' means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air during and after application, contributing to better indoor air quality and making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

How do I clean painted surfaces?

Once the paint has fully cured (typically 7-14 days), surfaces can be gently wiped with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners to preserve the matt finish.

What is the 60-30-10 principle for colour combinations?

The 60-30-10 principle is a classic interior design rule: 60% of a room should be your dominant colour, 30% your secondary colour, and 10% an accent colour. Johnstone's MY Colour range encourages using this principle to create personalized and harmonious palettes.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or streaky finish

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, smooth). Use a high-quality brush or roller, apply paint evenly, and maintain a 'wet edge' to prevent lap marks. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint not adhering well

Check that the surface was completely clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. If painting over a glossy finish, ensure it was lightly sanded to create a profile for the paint to grip. A suitable primer may be needed for certain challenging surfaces.

Colour appears different than expected

Allow the paint to fully dry and cure, as wet paint can appear darker. Lighting conditions in your room can significantly alter how a colour is perceived. Always test a small area first. Screen representations of colour can also vary.

Paint takes too long to dry

Ensure proper ventilation in the room. High humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than thick layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Withstands daily wear and tear in active living spaces.

Cons

  • Requires Surface Preparation: Optimal results depend on thorough cleaning and preparation of the surface.
  • Drying Time: Users must adhere to recommended drying times between coats for best results.
  • Colour Variation: Screen representation of colour may differ slightly from the actual paint shade.
  • Indoor Use Only: Specifically formulated for interior applications, not suitable for exterior projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Preparation is Key: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, sand lightly to provide a key. For bare or highly absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour distribution.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Apply an even coat, working in manageable sections. Avoid overspreading. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal depth of colour and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times).

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: This paint is compatible with most interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, plasterboard, wood, and metal (when suitably primed).
  • Environment: Designed exclusively for interior use. Not recommended for exterior applications.

Care

  • Cleaning: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days after final coat), surfaces painted with Johnstone's MY Colour Durable Matt can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which may damage the matt finish.
  • Maintenance: Regularly dust surfaces to prevent build-up. Touch up any small nicks or scuffs promptly to maintain the finish's integrity.
