Product Information

Full details

Designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to elevate their interior spaces, Johnstone's Walls & Ceilings Soft Sheen Emulsion in Red offers a luxurious, velvety finish that provides both aesthetic sophistication and practical durability. This paint is ideal for refreshing living rooms or bedrooms, as it effectively hides surface imperfections and provides a wipeable finish for easy maintenance; however, users should note that the soft sheen finish may highlight wall texture more than a traditional flat matte paint if the surface is not properly prepared.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

This paint is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. While it is wipeable, it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

Can I use this on wood?

This emulsion is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for wood or metal surfaces.

How long does it take to dry?

Typically, the paint is touch-dry within 1-2 hours, but you should wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat.

How do I clean the walls after painting?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh scouring pads that could damage the sheen finish.

Is the red color very vibrant?

Yes, Johnstone's Red is a bold, high-pigment shade designed to make a strong visual statement in any room.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint not covering in one coat

Red pigments can be transparent; always plan for two coats and ensure the surface is primed if the previous color was significantly different.

Sheen looks uneven

This is often caused by uneven surface absorption; ensure the wall is sealed with a primer or base coat before applying the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Luxurious, sophisticated soft sheen appearance
  • Easy to clean and maintain thanks to its wipeable surface
  • Excellent coverage reduces the amount of paint required
  • Hides minor surface imperfections effectively
  • Creamy consistency for smooth application

Cons

  • Soft sheen may emphasize uneven wall plastering compared to matte paints
  • Requires proper surface preparation for the best finish
  • The bold red color requires careful edge-cutting and application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand them smooth before applying a base coat.

  • Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller in a consistent pattern. For the best results, use two coats, allowing adequate drying time between them.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with most standard interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces that have been properly keyed.
  • Care: Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
