FAQs

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

Johnstone's MY Colour offers a luxurious, durable matt finish, providing a sophisticated, non-reflective look that is also hard-wearing.

Can I use this paint in high-traffic areas?

Yes, this paint is specifically designed to be durable, making it perfect for busy areas like family rooms, hallways, and kitchens.

What does 'Intense Colour Technology' mean?

Intense Colour Technology refers to the use of high-quality pigments that ensure rich, deep, and vibrant colours which remain beautiful and resistant to fading for longer.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, Johnstone's MY Colour paint has a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content, meaning it releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air, making it safer for your home.

What surfaces can I apply this paint to?

This paint is versatile and suitable for interior walls, ceilings, furniture, and cabinets, allowing for a cohesive design throughout your home.

How do I clean surfaces painted with this matt paint?

For cleaning, gently wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner can be used, but avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the matt finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overloading the brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge and work in consistent sections. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Poor adhesion is often due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry. For glossy surfaces, light sanding is crucial for keying. Consider using a suitable primer, especially on bare or difficult substrates.

Colour appears different on the wall than expected.

Lighting conditions significantly impact how a colour appears. View the painted area in natural daylight and artificial light. Also, ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during use to achieve proper colour consistency. A second coat will deepen the colour.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional Durability: Withstands daily wear and tear, perfect for busy family spaces.
Rich, Long-lasting Colour: Intense Colour Technology ensures hues remain vibrant and true over time.
Eco-Friendly Choice: Low VOC content contributes to better indoor air quality.
Versatile Use: Suitable for multiple interior surfaces beyond just walls.
Easy Application: Designed to provide a smooth, flawless finish for DIYers and professionals alike.

Cons

Matt Finish Characteristics: While durable, a matt finish may be less forgiving than a silk or satin for deep scuffs or stains, though it is designed to be washable.
Surface Preparation Critical: Optimal results are highly dependent on thorough surface cleaning and preparation, which can add to project time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, light sanding will aid adhesion. Use a suitable primer for bare or porous surfaces if necessary.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure colour consistency and proper viscosity.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply in thin, even coats. Typically, two coats are recommended, allowing sufficient drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific drying times).
Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility

This paint is compatible with a wide range of interior surfaces, including:

Walls
Ceilings
Furniture (e.g., wooden cabinets, wardrobes, tables)
Cabinets (e.g., kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities)

Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on non-standard materials.

Care & Maintenance

The durable matt finish is designed for easy maintenance:

Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe painted surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner diluted in water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matt finish.
Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of paint for future touch-ups, ensuring the batch number matches for seamless repair.
