FAQs

Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?

While it is durable and wipeable, it is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas, Johnstone's offers specialized kitchen and bathroom paints.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within 1 to 2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.

Do I need a primer?

If painting over a similar, sound base, a primer is not always necessary. However, for bare plaster or drastic color changes, a dedicated primer or mist coat is recommended.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based emulsion, you can easily clean your brushes and rollers using warm water and a little washing-up liquid.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, this formula is explicitly designed for both walls and ceilings.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting.

Paint is not adhering to the wall

The surface may be too dusty or greasy; clean the area thoroughly and let it dry completely before recoating.

Splattering during application

Avoid overloading the roller and do not roll too quickly; use a slow, steady motion to keep the paint on the roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity and coverage
  • Easy to clean and wipeable surface
  • Reduces appearance of surface imperfections
  • Fast-drying for efficient project turnaround
  • Creamy consistency prevents excessive dripping

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Matt finish can be less stain-resistant than glossier alternatives
  • May require extra primer on new or very porous plaster

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area first to improve adhesion. For new plaster, ensure it is completely cured and consider applying a mist coat.

Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard rollers and brushes.

Care: Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent skinning. To clean tools, use warm water and soap while the paint is still wet, as the formula sets firmly once dry.
