Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's Vinyl Soft Sheen Emulsion Paint in Purple is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh interior walls and ceilings with a sophisticated, subtle sheen. Its key benefit is providing excellent coverage that minimizes imperfections for a smooth, even finish. A potential caveat is that the soft sheen is subtler than a satin finish, so manage expectations if a high gloss is desired.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While the paint is wipeable, it is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. For such areas, a dedicated bathroom paint is recommended. If used in a bathroom, ensure excellent ventilation and consider a suitable sealant.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary, but typically the paint is touch dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Allow full curing time for maximum durability.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?

Yes, but you must lightly sand the gloss surface first to create a 'key' for the new paint to adhere to. Clean off all dust after sanding before applying the emulsion.

How do I clean spills or marks from the painted wall?

Once the paint is fully cured, you can gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What is the difference between Soft Sheen and Satin?

Soft Sheen provides a more subtle and understated sheen compared to Satin, which offers a slightly higher gloss level. Soft Sheen is designed to be softer and more delicate.

How much area does a 2.5L can cover?

Coverage can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method, but typically a 2.5L can will cover approximately 25-35 square meters for one coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering evenly

Ensure the paint has been thoroughly stirred. Apply a second coat if necessary, ensuring the first coat is dry. Check that the surface was properly prepared and primed if needed.

Brush marks or roller texture are visible

Apply the paint with smoother, even strokes. Avoid overloading the brush or roller. Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended temperature and humidity.

Paint is peeling or flaking

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Remove any loose paint and reapply after proper surface preparation.

Color appears different after drying

Color can vary slightly based on lighting and surface texture. Ensure the surface was primed correctly and that adequate coats have been applied for full color depth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key:

  1. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Use a suitable cleaner and allow surfaces to dry thoroughly.
  2. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand any glossy finishes to improve adhesion. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and allow to dry before sanding smooth.
  3. Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark colors, stained surfaces, or bare plaster. Allow the primer to dry completely.

Application:

  • Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
  • Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 2-4 hours).
  • Avoid applying in excessively damp or cold conditions.

Compatibility:

  • This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings.
  • Not suitable for exterior surfaces or areas of high moisture like bathrooms without appropriate preparation and sealing.

Care:

  • Once fully dry, the painted surface can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe spills or marks promptly to prevent staining.
