FAQs

What surfaces can I use Johnstone's MY Colour Luxurious Durable Matt Paint on?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and properly prepared.

How many coats of paint will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth, coverage, and durability, especially when covering a darker colour or an untreated surface. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

How long does the paint take to dry?

While specific drying times can vary based on environmental factors like temperature and humidity, generally, it is touch dry within 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours. Full cure for maximum durability may take 7-14 days.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, Johnstone's MY Colour Luxurious Durable Matt Paint can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent to remove minor marks and stains, thanks to its durable formulation.

What does 'Intense Colour Technology' mean?

Intense Colour Technology refers to the use of high-quality pigments and advanced formulation to ensure the paint delivers a deep, rich, and consistent colour that resists fading and remains vibrant over time.

How can I choose complementary colours with the MY Colour range?

The MY Colour range is curated to facilitate harmonious combinations. You can use principles like the 60-30-10 rule (60% dominant colour, 30% secondary, 10% accent) to create balanced schemes. Test small areas or use colour swatches to see how colours interact in your specific lighting.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or poor coverage after one coat.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth) and consider if a primer was needed. Allow the first coat to dry completely, then apply a second coat evenly. Avoid overspreading the paint.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and sound before painting. Remove all loose paint, sand, prime, and then repaint. Moisture behind the paint film can also be a cause.

Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky.

Check humidity levels and ensure good ventilation in the room. Cool, damp conditions can significantly prolong drying times. Apply paint in recommended film thickness, avoiding overly thick coats.

Brush or roller marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt emulsion paints. Ensure even application and avoid re-working drying paint. Apply paint in consistent strokes or rolls, maintaining a wet edge.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Application

Preparation is Crucial: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dust, and grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, light sanding will improve adhesion. Apply a suitable primer if painting bare or porous surfaces.
Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and colour distribution.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid overspreading.
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings.
It is compatible with standard plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are properly prepared.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days after application), surfaces painted with Johnstone's MY Colour Durable Matt can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasives or excessive scrubbing to maintain the matt finish.
Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of leftover paint for future touch-ups to seamlessly repair minor marks or damage.
