Full details

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is an ideal choice for both professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, modern aesthetic on interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality paint offers excellent coverage and a smooth, creamy application that helps minimize surface imperfections, providing a flawless matte finish. While it is highly durable and wipeable for everyday maintenance, users should be aware that matte finishes can sometimes highlight surface texture differences compared to glossier alternatives if not applied evenly.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While it is wipeable, this is a standard matte emulsion. For high-humidity environments, we recommend a specialized bathroom or kitchen paint designed to resist steam and mold.

Can I use this paint over wallpaper?

Yes, provided the wallpaper is sound, well-adhered, and not made of vinyl, which may require a specific primer.

How long does it take to dry?

It is touch-dry within a few hours, but we recommend waiting at least 4 hours between coats for the best results.

How should I store leftover paint?

Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, ensuring the rim is clean before closing.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

If you are painting over a drastically different color or porous surfaces like new plaster, a primer or mist coat is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure all dust, grease, and loose debris are removed before application.

Inconsistent finish or patchy appearance

Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring even pressure and distribution with your roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent opacity reduces the number of coats needed
Provides a sophisticated, non-reflective matte finish
Creamy consistency is easy to apply without excessive splattering
Durable enough to be wiped clean
Helps hide minor surface imperfections

Cons

Matte finish is less resistant to heavy scrubbing than satin or gloss
May show surface texture inconsistencies if not applied uniformly
Requires careful preparation of the surface for the best result

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key to a professional finish with Johnstone's Matt Emulsion. First, ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free from loose or flaking material. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat—a mixture of paint and water—to seal the surface before applying full coats. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-pile roller for large surface areas. To care for your painted walls, allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7–14 days before attempting to wipe clean. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can damage the matte sheen.
