Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint excels in high-traffic areas such as living rooms, hallways, children's bedrooms, and kitchens, where walls are prone to scuffs and spills. Its washable formulation means you can gently wipe away fingerprints, crayon marks, and food splatters with a damp cloth without fear of damaging the paint finish or causing it to become shiny. The low odour property makes it suitable for painting indoors without excessive ventilation, and its quick-drying nature allows for multiple coats to be applied within a shorter timeframe, getting your room back in use sooner. When applied correctly, it provides a smooth, even coverage that visually enhances any space with its appealing blue matt finish. For best results, allow adequate drying time between coats and before exposing the surface to cleaning or heavy use.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, or flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For bare or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat of this paint (diluted with 10% water) may be required.
Stir Thoroughly: Before use, stir the paint well to ensure a consistent colour and consistency.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing ample drying time between coats.
Surfaces: Ideal for interior walls and ceilings. Suitable for plaster, plasterboard, and other common indoor wall surfaces.
Not Recommended For: Direct application on wood or metal without appropriate priming, or areas requiring extreme humidity resistance (e.g., shower enclosures).
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 harsh scrubbing, as this may compromise the matt finish.
Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
