Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Paint - White - 2.5L

While specifically formulated for kitchens to resist grease and stains, its durable matt emulsion can be used in other high-traffic areas if a tough, wipeable finish is desired. However, its primary benefits are maximized in a kitchen setting.

The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours, but it typically takes 7-14 days for the paint to fully cure and achieve its maximum durability and stain resistance. Avoid heavy scrubbing or impact during this initial curing period.

A primer is recommended for bare, new, or porous surfaces (e.g., new plaster, bare wood) or if you are painting over a significantly darker colour or a surface with existing stains to ensure the best finish and adhesion.

Info needed: [coverage per litre]. As a general guide, a 2.5L can typically covers approximately 25-30 square meters with two coats, but this can vary depending on surface porosity, texture, and application method.

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks and spills. For tougher marks, a mild household detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing brushes, especially during the initial curing period, as they can damage the matt finish.

Yes, Johnstone's Kitchen Paint is designed to be highly durable and wipeable, meaning everyday marks and spills can be easily cleaned without spoiling the finish, making it ideal for the kitchen environment.

'Low odour' indicates that the paint produces significantly fewer strong fumes compared to traditional paints. This results in a more comfortable painting experience and reduces lingering smells in your home, allowing you to use your kitchen sooner after painting.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly clean, dry, and free from loose material before painting. Proper preparation, including sanding and priming if necessary, is crucial for adhesion.

Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and apply thin, consistent layers.

For stubborn or deep stains (e.g., water marks, smoke damage), apply a specialist stain block primer before painting to prevent bleed-through.

Ensure the room has adequate ventilation and is at an appropriate temperature. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Apply thinner coats if possible.
