Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it is a durable emulsion, it is not specifically classified as a bathroom or kitchen paint; for high-humidity areas, consider specialized moisture-resistant paints.

How long should I wait between coats?

While drying times vary based on temperature and humidity, it is generally touch-dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours.

Is this paint low VOC?

Yes, as a water-based emulsion, it contains low levels of VOCs, making it more environmentally friendly than traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I apply this over oil-based paint?

Yes, provided the surface is thoroughly cleaned, sanded to provide a key, and primed with an appropriate adhesion primer.

Does this paint come in other finishes?

This specific guide focuses on the Vinyl Matt version; Johnstones provides various finishes within the brand, but please check the specific product label for sheen levels.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not hiding the surface well

Ensure the surface has been properly primed and that you are using a high-quality roller; consider an additional coat if the previous color was significantly darker.

Visible brush or roller marks

Avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set; maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Paint peeling or flaking

Ensure all loose, flaking, or powdery surfaces are sanded down and cleaned before applying new paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and primed if necessary. For new or bare surfaces, apply a mist coat by thinning the paint slightly with water to seal the surface. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Application can be performed using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller for best coverage. For care, avoid harsh scrubbing; instead, use a soft cloth with mild, soapy water to wipe away dirt or marks. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out or skinning over.
