FAQs

What surfaces can Johnstone's Matt Emulsion be used on?

It is designed for interior walls and ceilings. Ensure the surface is prepared correctly before application.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the matte finish.

Can I use this paint for a feature wall?

Yes, the range of vivid and trendy colors makes it ideal for creating eye-catching feature walls.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint dries quickly, allowing for a second coat application within a few hours. Actual drying time can vary based on temperature and humidity.

Do I need to use a primer?

It is recommended to use a primer, especially on bare plaster or previously painted surfaces, to ensure optimal adhesion and finish. Always prepare the surface according to product instructions.

Is this paint washable?

While durable, matte finishes are generally less scrubbable than silk or satin paints. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.

How many coats are typically needed?

One coat may suffice on a similar color or previously painted surface in good condition, but two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage, depth of color, and a uniform finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or uneven.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply paint evenly with a brush or roller using consistent strokes. Check if the surface was properly prepared and is not overly absorbent.

Color looks different on the wall than expected.

Colors can appear differently depending on lighting conditions and the surface. It is recommended to use a tester pot on a small, inconspicuous area first. Consider applying a second coat for a truer representation of the color.

Drying time seems longer than stated.

Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions.

Paint is peeling or flaking after drying.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Re-prime and re-paint if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a contemporary, sophisticated matte finish.
  • Simple to apply, suitable for various skill levels.
  • Dries quickly, speeding up the painting process.
  • Offers long-lasting durability for maintained aesthetics.
  • Available in a range of vibrant colors for creative expression.

Cons

  • Matte finishes can be less resistant to scrubbing than gloss or satin paints.
  • May require specific preparation for optimal adhesion on certain surfaces.
  • Color may appear slightly different on the wall compared to the tester pot due to lighting and surface variations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Prime bare plaster or previously painted surfaces as needed. Use masking tape to protect adjacent areas.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in an 'M' or 'W' motion for even coverage. Avoid painting in excessively humid or cold conditions. A second coat is recommended for best results, applied after the first coat has dried.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. For best results, use Johnstone's primers and preparation products.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, as this may damage the matte finish.
