FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is durable, it is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas, ensure the room is well-ventilated.

How many coats do I need?

Two coats are generally recommended for the best color depth and finish, especially when covering a contrasting color.

Is this paint low VOC?

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion features a low VOC formula, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for home use.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but allow at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on room temperature and humidity.

Can this be applied over existing gloss paint?

It is recommended to lightly sand and prime any glossy surfaces before applying emulsion to ensure proper adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and applying even pressure. Keep a 'wet edge' while painting to avoid lap marks.

Paint finish looks uneven or patchy

Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry. Ensure proper surface preparation and that the surface was primed if porous.

Paint is bubbling or peeling

This is usually caused by applying paint over a damp or dirty surface. Scrape back, clean the area, ensure it is dry, and repaint.

Pros

High-sheen finish creates a sophisticated look

Cons

High sheen may accentuate surface flaws or wall imperfections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over a dark color, apply a suitable primer first to ensure optimal color payoff.

Preparation: Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in consistent strokes.
Equipment: Use a synthetic bristle brush or a microfiber roller for the best finish.
Care: Clean tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. For ongoing maintenance, wipe walls with a soft, damp cloth as needed; the scrub-resistant finish makes regular cleaning simple.
