FAQs

What kind of finish is this paint?

It's a luxurious, durable matt finish, providing an elegant, non-reflective surface that helps to hide minor wall imperfections.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes, its durable formula makes it perfect for busy areas like family rooms, hallways, and kitchens. For very high humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure proper ventilation to maintain the finish.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, Johnstone's MY Colour paint has a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content, meaning it releases fewer harmful chemicals and has a reduced odour during application compared to traditional paints.

How many coats do I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability. However, this may vary depending on the surface condition and the colour being covered. Always allow adequate drying time between coats as specified on the product label.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

While primarily designed for interior walls and ceilings, its durable nature could make it suitable for certain furniture projects. For best results and adhesion on furniture, always properly prepare and prime the surface first, and consider a protective topcoat for added wear resistance.

How do I choose complementary colours for Enchanting Eggplant?

The Johnstone's MY Colour range is curated to allow for beautiful colour combinations. Consider using the 60-30-10 principle, where Enchanting Eggplant could be your 60% main colour, complemented by two other shades from the range (30% secondary, 10% accent) for a balanced scheme.

Troubleshooting

Paint is patchy or streaky after drying.

Ensure proper surface preparation (clean, dry, primed if needed). Apply paint evenly using a good quality roller or brush, avoiding overloading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and apply a second coat if necessary.

Paint is not covering the previous colour effectively.

This can occur when painting a dark colour over a light one, or vice-versa. Ensure you have applied a suitable primer or an extra coat of paint. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Paint peels or flakes off the wall.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust before application. Remove all loose material, clean, and re-prime before repainting the affected area.

Strong odour persists after painting.

While this paint is low VOC, some residual odour can remain. Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting by opening windows and doors. The odour should dissipate over a few days.

Matt finish appears shiny in certain areas.

This is known as 'burnishing' and can occur from excessive rubbing or cleaning, especially on a matt finish. Avoid harsh scrubbing when cleaning. For small, affected areas, a light touch-up might be possible after gentle cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Engineered to withstand wear and tear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • Rich, Intense Colour: Utilizes Intense Colour Technology for deep, vibrant, and long-lasting hues.
  • Smooth Matt Finish: Delivers an elegant, non-reflective aesthetic that suits various interior styles.
  • Low VOC Formula: Contributes to better indoor air quality, making it a safer choice for homes.
  • Easy Application: Designed for a smooth, flawless finish, simplifying the painting process.

Cons

  • Matt Finish Cleaning: While durable, a matt finish may show marks more readily than higher sheen paints and might require specific cleaning methods.
  • Extensive Colour Choice: The broad selection of colours, though a benefit, might be overwhelming for some users without a clear vision.
  • Surface Preparation: As with all quality paints, optimal results depend heavily on thorough surface preparation, which can be time-consuming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Prime if Needed: For new plaster, porous surfaces, or when significantly changing colour, apply a suitable primer or an initial mist coat of this paint thinned with water (consult product label for exact ratios, if any).
  3. Stir Well: Before and during use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even colour and consistency.
  4. Application: Apply with a good quality brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, refer to product label).

Compatibility:

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior primers and previously painted surfaces, provided they are clean, sound, and properly prepared.

Care:

Johnstone's MY Colour paint offers long-lasting protection and durability. For general cleaning, gently wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish. Promptly address any spills or marks to maintain the paint's luxurious appearance.
