FAQs

Can this paint be used in a bathroom?

This emulsion is intended for standard interior walls and ceilings. It is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a drastically different color or bare plaster, a primer or mist coat is highly recommended to improve adhesion.

How long does it take to dry?

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is designed for quick drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours depending on room temperature and humidity.

Can I use a brush instead of a roller?

Yes, but for large wall areas, a roller is recommended for a more even, streak-free finish.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, the dried film is durable and wipeable, allowing for easy removal of light marks with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you maintain a wet edge and do not over-work the paint once it begins to dry.

Paint not covering in one coat

Darker colors often require two full coats. Ensure the first coat is fully dry before applying the second.

Flaking or peeling

Surface may have been damp or dirty during application. Sand back, clean the area, and re-apply.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional-grade smooth finish
  • Effective at masking minor wall imperfections
  • Easy to apply for both DIYers and pros
  • Dries quickly for efficient project completion
  • Durable enough for regular interior use

Cons

  • Matte finish shows marks more easily than silk or gloss
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Limited to interior wall and ceiling use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For best results, use a primer on porous or bare surfaces to promote uniform absorption. When applying, use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-pile roller for the main wall areas. To care for your finished walls, wait for the paint to fully cure before wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the matte texture.
