Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Soft Sheen Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional, sophisticated finish on interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality paint provides a smooth, velvety texture that effectively masks minor surface imperfections, offering a durable and wipeable surface perfect for busy living areas. While it delivers excellent coverage and a subtle, luxurious glow, users should note that as a soft sheen finish, it may highlight significant wall damage if not properly prepared beforehand compared to a purely matte alternative.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it is wipeable, this emulsion is designed primarily for living areas. For rooms with high steam and condensation, a dedicated kitchen and bathroom paint is recommended.

Can I use this on wood surfaces?

This product is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on wood trim or doors, which typically require an eggshell, satin, or gloss finish.

How long should I wait between coats?

Under normal conditions, you should wait 2 to 4 hours between coats, though this may vary based on room temperature and humidity.

Does it need a primer?

If applying to bare plaster or highly absorbent surfaces, a mist coat (a diluted coat of paint) or a dedicated primer is recommended to ensure uniform adhesion.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because it is an emulsion paint, tools can be cleaned using warm soapy water while the paint is still wet.

Is this finish more reflective than matte paint?

Yes, a soft sheen provides more reflection than a flat matte finish, which helps brighten the room while remaining more subtle than a satin or semi-gloss finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using the correct pile length for your wall texture and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint not covering in one coat

Ensure the surface is properly primed, especially if painting over a dark color or highly porous drywall. Two coats are standard for optimal finish.

Surface is difficult to wipe clean

Allow the paint to fully cure—usually at least 7 to 14 days—before attempting to clean the surface, as fresh paint is more sensitive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth and creamy application consistency
  • Easy to wipe clean for long-term maintenance
  • Effectively hides minor surface flaws
  • Provides a sophisticated, velvety aesthetic
  • Excellent coverage for efficient painting

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Soft sheen finish may emphasize large wall defects
  • Not intended for extreme high-moisture zones like shower enclosures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If you are painting over a porous surface, it is recommended to use a suitable primer or a thinned first coat to seal the substrate. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Application is best performed using a quality synthetic brush for edges and a medium-pile roller for large flat surfaces. For maintenance, avoid abrasive cleaning chemicals; simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Always ensure adequate ventilation during the drying process.
