FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings; for bathrooms with high humidity, a dedicated moisture-resistant paint is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours under normal room conditions.

Do I need to prime bare plaster?

Yes, it is recommended to apply a 'mist coat' (a mix of paint and water) to new plaster to act as a primer.

How many coats are usually required?

Two full coats are typically recommended to achieve full opacity and a consistent finish.

Can I clean this paint once applied?

While durable, matte finishes can be sensitive to aggressive scrubbing. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after one coat

The first coat may have been absorbed unevenly; allow it to dry completely and apply a second coat for a uniform finish.

Visible roller marks

Avoid over-spreading the paint. Use a high-quality roller and ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while working across the surface.

Paint peeling or flaking

Ensure the surface was free of dust, grease, and loose material before application; sand the area and repaint if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated matte finish reduces glare
  • Excellent opacity and coverage
  • Quick-drying properties speed up project completion
  • Highly durable against daily wear and tear
  • Easy to apply with standard brushes or rollers

Cons

  • Limited to interior use only
  • May require two coats for optimal finish
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like shower enclosures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For bare surfaces, apply a suitable primer or a thinned first coat to manage suction. Apply using a synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller, maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid lap marks. Clean all tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out or skinning over.
