Product Information
Full details
This Johnstone's One Coat Matt Emulsion in Blue Horizon is ideal for homeowners looking for a quick and effective way to refresh their interior spaces with a contemporary matt finish. Its key benefit is the superb covering power that allows for a full transformation in a single coat. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent coverage, achieving a perfectly uniform finish on very uneven or previously dark surfaces might still require careful application and preparation.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
The Johnstone's One Coat Matt Emulsion covers approximately 8m² per litre.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is touch dry within 1-2 hours.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While it can be used on interior walls and ceilings, it is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. For such areas, a paint designed for bathrooms or kitchens with enhanced moisture resistance is recommended.
How do I clean my paint brushes after use?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
Yes, but the gloss surface should be lightly sanded to provide a key and cleaned before application to ensure adhesion. Priming is also recommended for best results.
What does 'One Coat' coverage mean?
'One Coat' coverage means the paint is formulated to provide full opacity and a uniform finish in a single application under normal conditions. However, extremely dark colours or heavily stained surfaces may require additional coats.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this is an interior emulsion paint and is not designed for exterior application.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks visible
Ensure the paint is applied evenly with a wet edge. Avoid over-spreading. For very large areas, consider using a roller with a medium pile for a more uniform finish. Ensure proper surface preparation.
Paint is not covering in one coat
This can occur on highly porous, stained, or very dark surfaces. Ensure the surface was properly primed. For extreme cases, a second coat may be necessary, or a specific stain-blocking primer should be used.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to apply
Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. If necessary, a very small amount of clean water (no more than 5% for water-based paints) can be added to aid application, but this may slightly reduce opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For best results, lightly sand glossy surfaces and prime any bare or stained areas.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For optimal results and to ensure the one-coat coverage, maintain a wet edge and avoid over-spreading.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless properly sealed.
Care: Allow the paint to fully cure before heavy cleaning. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
