Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This product is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas, consider if the specific matte finish meets your cleaning requirements.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is formulated to dry quickly, though exact times depend on ambient temperature and room humidity.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is an emulsion paint, you should clean your tools thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, it is specifically designed for use on both walls and ceilings.

How many coats are typically needed?

While the coverage is excellent, two coats are generally recommended for the most uniform color depth and professional finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using the correct roller nap for the surface texture and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to avoid uneven drying.

Paint is not covering in one coat

Apply a second coat once the first is thoroughly dry, ensuring you are not over-spreading the paint.

Paint finish appears uneven

Ensure the wall surface is properly sanded and primed before application to provide a uniform base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. For the best results, use a primer on new or porous surfaces. Apply using a synthetic brush or roller designed for emulsion paints. While the paint is wipeable, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that may damage the flat finish. Keep the room well-ventilated during application and drying to ensure optimal curing. Store the paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the paint from drying out in the tin.
