Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is ideal for transforming interior spaces that experience daily wear and tear. Its durable and washable nature makes it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and children's bedrooms where accidental scuffs and stains are common.
For example, a busy family kitchen can benefit greatly: grease splatters or food marks on walls can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth, preserving the rich purple finish. Similarly, in a child's play area, crayon marks or fingerprints can be addressed easily, maintaining a fresh and vibrant environment without the need for constant repainting.
The low odour formula means less disruption during painting and quicker return to normal use, which is excellent for occupied homes. Its quick-drying property also allows for recoating within a shorter timeframe, enabling faster project completion, perhaps even within a single day for smaller rooms. Always ensure adequate ventilation during and after application for best results and comfort.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dust, and grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, a light sanding will help adhesion.
Protect Your Space: Cover floors, furniture, and adjacent areas with dust sheets. Use painter's tape to mask off skirting boards, window frames, and ceiling lines.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
Surfaces: This emulsion paint is primarily designed for interior walls and ceilings.
Undercoats/Primers: While often self-priming on previously painted, sound surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat (a diluted first coat of the emulsion) may be required for bare plaster, new plaster, or significantly different colour changes.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this may damage the matt finish.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Disposal: Dispose of unused paint and containers responsibly according to local regulations. Do not pour paint down drains.
