FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While durable, it is best suited for living rooms, halls, and bedrooms; for areas with high moisture, a dedicated kitchen/bathroom formula is typically recommended.

How much area does one litre cover?

This paint provides a coverage of approximately 12 m² per litre, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Soft Sheen is specifically formulated to be used on both walls and ceilings.

How long should I wait between coats?

With a dry time of 1-2 hours, you can generally apply the second coat after two hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.

Is the Frosted Silver color matte?

No, it features a soft sheen finish, which has a slight, velvety reflection that is less intense than gloss but more reflective than matte.

Do I need to thin the paint?

Usually, no thinning is required. However, for a first coat on highly porous surfaces, a very small amount of water may be used according to the manufacturer's label instructions.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the layers to blend seamlessly.

Paint is not sticking properly

Check that the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or dust. Use a primer if the wall was previously unpainted or porous.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

This is often caused by inconsistent application or failing to stir the paint adequately; always stir before use and apply two consistent coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, velvety appearance
  • Excellent durability for high-traffic areas
  • Quick drying time of 1-2 hours
  • Provides high-quality coverage per litre
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Sheen level may highlight wall imperfections if not properly prepped
  • Requires smooth substrate for the best finish
  • Not intended for high-gloss applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by priming porous surfaces or filling any holes and sanding them smooth, as soft sheen finishes can reflect light off uneven surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is consistent.

  • Application: Use a professional-grade roller for large wall sections and a synthetic brush for corners or trim.
  • Cleanup: Wash tools with water immediately after use.
  • Care: To keep the finish looking its best, wipe down walls with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may dull the sheen.
