FAQs

Can I use Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion in my bathroom?

Yes, this paint is specially formulated to handle areas of high condensation, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms as well as kitchens.

How many coats of paint will I need?

For best results and full coverage, typically two coats are recommended. However, this can vary depending on the original surface color and porosity.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is usually touch dry within 2-4 hours, but always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise drying and recoat times, as environmental conditions can affect this.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, due to its durable and grease-resisting properties, the Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, making maintenance easy.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

While it can be applied directly to most previously painted surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended for bare, new, or highly absorbent surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.

Can I use this paint on wooden cabinets or metal surfaces?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wooden or metal surfaces, you would need a different type of paint designed for those materials.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or streaky finish

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and smooth before painting. Apply paint evenly using consistent strokes and avoid overspreading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Poor coverage or color inconsistency

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application. Apply an adequate amount of paint, typically two coats are recommended for full coverage. Consider priming absorbent or dark surfaces.

Paint peeling or flaking

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or loose paint. Scrape off any peeling paint, sand, and re-prime before repainting.

Bubbles or blistering in the paint

Bubbles can occur if paint is applied too thickly, if the roller is moved too quickly, or if the surface is damp. Ensure even application and check for moisture in the wall. Paint in moderate temperatures.

Slow drying time

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. High humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying times. Apply paint in recommended thickness; very thick coats take longer to dry.

It is compatible with most common interior building materials, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces. For new plaster or porous surfaces, a suitable water-based primer or diluted first coat of emulsion (mist coat) is advised. ### Care and Maintenance To maintain the pristine condition of your painted surfaces, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing pads, as these can damage the matt finish and protective properties. Address spills or stains promptly for easiest removal. Store any remaining paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed.
