Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Grey

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth, coverage, and durability. However, this can vary based on the original surface colour and condition. A third coat might be necessary over very dark or uneven surfaces.

Info needed: [Drying times for touch dry and recoat]. Generally, emulsion paints are touch dry within a few hours, but you should wait several hours (e.g., 2-4 hours) before applying a second coat. Full hardness and washability usually take a few days to a week.

Yes, provided the wallpaper is firmly adhered to the wall, clean, and in good condition. If the wallpaper is loose, peeling, or textured, it's best to remove it first for the best result.

Yes, once fully cured, this kitchen paint is designed to be washable. You can gently wipe down marks and grease with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the matt finish.

For most previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer isn't strictly necessary. However, for bare plaster, new surfaces, or if you're painting over a very dark or stained wall, a suitable primer or an initial diluted mist coat of this paint is recommended for best adhesion and an even finish.

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then allow them to air dry.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free of grease before painting. Glossy surfaces should be dulled by sanding to provide a 'key' for the paint. Porous surfaces may require priming or a diluted first coat.

This often occurs if paint is applied too thickly, or if not enough drying time is allowed between coats. Ensure paint is stirred well, apply thin, even coats, and respect recommended drying times. Using a high-quality roller can also help achieve an even finish.

Colour can be affected by lighting in the room and the colour of the existing surface. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure full coverage is achieved with the recommended number of coats.

While low-VOC paints generally have minimal odour, ensuring continuous good ventilation during and after painting for several days is important. Open windows and doors.
