Product Information

Full details

Designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh their interior living spaces, this Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint delivers a premium high-sheen finish that enhances room brightness through its light-reflecting properties. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a durable, scrub-resistant surface for both walls and ceilings, though users should note that the silk finish may highlight surface imperfections more clearly than matte alternatives due to its reflective nature.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for standard living spaces. While it is durable, it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its quick-drying formula, typically 2-4 hours is sufficient, depending on room temperature and humidity.

Does this paint work on ceilings?

Yes, this product is specifically formulated to be suitable for both interior walls and ceilings.

Is this paint low odour?

Yes, it features a low-odour formula, making it more comfortable to work with indoors.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after application.

Can this be used over dark colors?

It can be used over dark colors, but you may require a primer or an additional coat to achieve full opacity.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a medium-pile roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint finish looks uneven or patchy

Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring consistent pressure during application.

Surface imperfections are too noticeable

Silk paint reflects light; if imperfections are glaring, consider light sanding and applying a wall filler before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reflects light to make rooms appear brighter
  • Highly durable and scrub-resistant
  • Suitable for both walls and ceilings
  • Low odour for improved indoor comfort
  • Dries quickly for efficient project turnaround

Cons

  • Silk finish highlights wall imperfections more than matte paint
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for areas requiring extreme moisture resistance like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. For best results, use a standard interior primer on fresh or porous surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Apply at temperatures above 10°C for optimal drying performance. For routine maintenance, the scrub-resistant nature of this paint means you can gently clean marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the integrity of the silk sheen.
