FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

While it is washable and durable, for areas with very high humidity or condensation like bathrooms and kitchens, specialized kitchen and bathroom paints are often recommended for their enhanced moisture and mould resistance. This paint is best suited for general living areas.

How long does the paint take to dry between coats?

Johnstones Washable Matt Paint is quick drying. It is typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours. Always check the paint's feel before applying the next coat, as drying times can vary with temperature and humidity.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

This paint provides a beautiful, non-reflective matt finish, which helps to hide minor surface imperfections and provides a sophisticated look.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

For new, bare, or previously unpainted absorbent surfaces, it is highly recommended to apply a suitable primer or a thinned first coat (mist coat) to ensure optimal adhesion, even coverage, and a consistent finish. On previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer may not be necessary if the surface is clean and prepared.

How much area will a 2.5L tin cover?

Info needed: Typical coverage for emulsion paint is often around 10-12 square meters per litre per coat, but this can vary. Please refer to the specific coverage information on the product tin or manufacturer's website for exact details.

Is 'Crushed Pineapple' the only color available in this range?

No, Johnstones Washable Matt Paint is available in a variety of colors. Crushed Pineapple is one of many options to choose from to suit your personal style and decor.

Can I mix this paint with other types of paint?

It is not recommended to mix this paint with other types of paint (e.g., gloss, satin) or paints from different brands, as this can negatively affect the final finish, durability, and washability. For tinting, only use compatible tinting systems if specified by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or patchy finish

Ensure the surface was thoroughly prepared, clean, and dry before painting. Apply thin, even coats and allow sufficient drying time between applications. For absorbent surfaces, a primer or mist coat is crucial.

Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky

Check room temperature and humidity; paint dries best in moderate conditions (ideally 10-25°C with good ventilation). Ensure coats are not applied too thickly. Allow more time for drying, especially in cooler or humid environments.

Marks are difficult to remove or leave a shadow

For best results, wipe marks as soon as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth and gentle wiping motions. Avoid excessive pressure or abrasive materials, which can polish the matt surface or damage the paint film. Some stubborn stains may require repeated gentle cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability against daily wear and tear
  • Easy to clean, effectively removing common household marks
  • Maintains a consistent matt finish even after wiping, avoiding shiny spots
  • Resists fading, keeping your chosen color vibrant for longer
  • Low odor makes for a more comfortable painting environment
  • Quick drying allows for faster project completion and recoating

Cons

  • Matt finish might not suit all aesthetic preferences, as some prefer satin or silk
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion and finish quality
  • Only suitable for interior walls and ceilings, not exterior use
  • May require more than one coat for significant color changes or over dark surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, and grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For new, bare, or highly absorbent surfaces, apply a suitable primer or a mist coat (paint thinned with water, as per manufacturer's instructions for a mist coat) to ensure optimal adhesion and even absorption.
  2. Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility

This paint is designed for use on interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most common interior surfaces including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (after proper preparation).

Care

  • Cleaning Walls: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and clean water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the paint film.
  • Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
