Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint excels in high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and children's bedrooms where marks and scuffs are common. Its washable property means accidental crayon marks, muddy handprints, or drink splatters can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth, restoring the wall's pristine look without leaving glossy spots or fading the Silver hue. The low odour formula is a significant advantage, particularly when painting occupied homes or during colder months when ventilation might be limited, making the process much more comfortable. Additionally, its quick drying time allows for recoating within a few hours, drastically reducing the overall project time. You can often apply two coats in a single day, quickly transforming a room. The paint's formulation ensures smooth, even coverage, minimizing brush strokes and roller marks for a professional-looking finish on your walls and ceilings.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound and in good condition. Consider a primer for very porous surfaces or significant color changes.
Protect Your Space: Cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with dust sheets and use painter's tape to mask off skirting boards, door frames, and ceilings.
Stir the Paint: Before and during use, stir the paint thoroughly with a stir stick to ensure an even consistency and color.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
This paint is designed for use on interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with common interior surfaces such as plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces. It is not suitable for wood, metal, or floors. Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is available in various colors, including Silver, Blue, Cream, Beige, Pink, Red, and Green.
During Painting: Clean spills and drips immediately with warm soapy water. After Painting: For best results, allow the paint to fully cure for approximately 7-14 days before attempting any cleaning. To clean painted surfaces, gently wipe marks or spills with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the matte finish.
