FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

While it is durable and wipeable, it is primarily designed for general walls and ceilings. For high-humidity kitchens, consider a specialized moisture-resistant paint.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Soft Sheen is specifically formulated to be used on both walls and ceilings.

How do I clean scuffs off the wall?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the affected area, then dry with a clean cloth.

Does this paint require a primer?

If you are painting over bare plaster or a very dark color, a primer or undercoat is recommended for the best finish.

Is the finish very shiny?

No, it is a 'soft sheen,' which is much more subtle than a satin or silk finish, offering a gentle luster rather than a high-gloss look.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint finish looks uneven

This is often caused by poor surface preparation. Ensure the wall is smooth and primed before applying the top coat.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after drying

This typically occurs if the paint was applied over a contaminated or greasy surface. Ensure deep cleaning of the wall prior to the next coat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a high-end, sophisticated aesthetic
  • Highly durable and easy to maintain through wiping
  • Creamy consistency allows for smooth application
  • Superior coverage reduces the amount of paint required for a full project

Cons

  • Sheen finish can emphasize uneven wall surfaces if not prepared correctly
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms without proper ventilation
  • Requires careful cutting-in to avoid visible overlap marks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If you are painting over a porous surface, use a suitable primer or a thinned first coat to seal the wall. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure a uniform consistency. When applying, use a high-quality roller for large areas and a synthetic brush for corners. To maintain the finish, clean the walls with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the sheen. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
