Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - Grey

Yes, its washable and durable nature makes it suitable for areas prone to splashes and marks like kitchens. For bathrooms, while durable, for very high humidity environments, a specialist bathroom paint with added mould inhibitors might offer enhanced protection, though this paint's washability is a great asset.

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability, especially if you're painting over a significantly different colour. Very porous surfaces or new plaster may benefit from a thinned 'mist coat' first.

Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is quick drying. Refer to the product label for specific touch-dry and recoat times, but you can generally apply a second coat within a few hours. Full cure time for maximum washability takes several days.

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

No, this paint is specifically formulated to be washable without leaving shiny patches, which is a common issue with regular matt paints when cleaned. It maintains its flat, matt finish.

No, Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is formulated specifically for interior walls and ceilings. For exterior projects, you should use an exterior-grade paint.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, primed if necessary). Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality roller or brush, and avoid over-spreading. Allow adequate drying time before applying a second coat.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive sponges. Ensure the paint has fully cured (typically a few days after drying) before attempting to clean vigorously. For very stubborn marks, gentle dabbing rather than rubbing may be more effective.

Ensure you are working in manageable sections. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or very warm, dry conditions. Maintain a wet edge while rolling to prevent lines. Applying a slightly thicker, but even, coat can help.

While low-odour, all paints have some smell. Ensure excellent ventilation by opening windows and doors during painting and for several hours afterward. The odour should dissipate rapidly.
