Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's One Coat Matt Paint in New Duck Egg is ideal for those needing a quick room refresh. Its key benefit is a fast-drying, low-odor formula that requires minimal effort due to its self-undercoating properties, delivering a flat, wipeable finish. A potential caveat is that it's designed for walls and ceilings, not for high-traffic areas requiring extreme durability.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use Johnstone's One Coat Matt Paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is typically dry to the touch in 2 hours.

Do I need a separate primer?

No, this paint is self-undercoating and does not require a separate primer.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage is approximately 8 square meters per litre.

Is this paint washable?

The paint provides a wipeable finish, meaning minor marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

What is the odour like?

It has a low odour formulation, making it more pleasant to use indoors.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

This product is specifically designed for walls and ceilings. For wood or metal, please consult Johnstone's range of specific primers and paints.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering in one coat

Ensure the surface is not overly porous or stained. Apply a second coat if necessary for complete coverage, though this deviates from the 'one coat' promise.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is well-stirred and applied evenly with consistent strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of dust.

Paint is too thick to apply easily

Stir the paint thoroughly. If the environment is very cold, allow the paint to reach room temperature. Thinning is generally not recommended for one-coat products.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces decorating time with its one-coat coverage.
  • Low odor formulation makes it pleasant to use indoors.
  • Self-undercoating simplifies the preparation process.
  • Provides a durable, wipeable finish for easy maintenance.
  • Quick drying time allows for rapid project turnaround.

Cons

  • May require more than one coat on very dark or heavily stained surfaces.
  • Matt finish can be less forgiving of surface imperfections than silk finishes.
  • Coverage is rated at 8 m² per litre, which can vary based on surface porosity.
  • Primarily designed for walls and ceilings, not typically recommended for heavy-duty surfaces like floors or doors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust and grease before application. No special primer is needed due to its self-undercoating properties. Compatible with most standard interior walls and ceilings. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.

Care: To maintain the finish, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
