Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

While durable, it is best reserved for living spaces and bedrooms. For kitchens, a specialized kitchen-grade paint is usually recommended due to humidity and grease.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this paint is specifically formulated to be used on both walls and ceilings.

How long should I wait between coats?

Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is quick-drying, but it is best to check the touch-dry time on the tin, usually requiring 2-4 hours before recoating.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting onto bare plaster or a very dark colour, a primer or undercoat is recommended to ensure the best finish.

Is the finish very shiny?

It provides a 'silk' or mid-sheen finish, which is noticeable but not as glossy as full-gloss paint.

How do I clean the walls after painting?

Because it is scrub-resistant, you can wipe the wall with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using the correct pile roller and maintain a wet edge by not over-spreading the paint.

Paint peeling or bubbling

This is often due to applying paint over an unstable or damp surface; ensure the wall is fully prepared and dry before starting.

Uneven finish

Apply a second coat once the first has completely dried to ensure full coverage and even sheen consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-reflecting properties
  • Highly durable and scrub-resistant
  • Easy to apply for a smooth finish
  • Quick drying time
  • Low-odour formula

Cons

  • May highlight surface imperfections due to sheen
  • Requires proper wall preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms without proper ventilation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before painting. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For new or porous plaster, apply a mist coat or primer first.

  • Application: Use a synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for large areas to achieve an even texture.
  • Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent paint from drying in the bristles.
  • Storage: Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from frost.
