Full details
This Johnstone's Trade Covaplus Vinyl Matt paint in Magnolia is designed for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, washable finish for interior walls and ceilings.

FAQs
How long does the paint take to dry?
Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Recoatable after 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While it is washable, it's best suited for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a specific kitchen and bathroom paint or a more durable finish might be recommended for enhanced moisture resistance.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage is approximately 10-12 square metres per litre, but this can vary depending on the surface texture and porosity.
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up any spills immediately with a damp cloth. Tools should be cleaned with water after use.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, Johnstone's Trade Covaplus Vinyl Matt is designed for interior use only.
What surfaces can I apply this paint to?
It can be applied to interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, masonry, wallpaper (most types), and previously decorated surfaces in good condition.
Does this paint have a strong odour?
This paint has a low VOC content, which generally results in a milder odour compared to traditional paints. Ensure good ventilation during and after application.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before application. Apply in consistent, overlapping strokes with a brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Check for adequate lighting to ensure even coverage.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Use an appropriate primer if painting over bare or problematic surfaces.
Colour looks different than expected.
Colour appearance can vary based on lighting conditions and the underlying surface colour. Ensure a primer was used if covering a dark colour. View the painted area in different lighting conditions once fully dry.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Stir the paint well. If necessary, thin slightly with a small amount of water (typically no more than 5-10%), especially for spray application. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific thinning recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Previously painted surfaces should be lightly sanded. Use a suitable Johnstone's Trade primer if painting over bare plaster, wood, or in areas with potential staining.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid applying in very humid conditions or at temperatures below 10°C.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior walls and ceilings. Compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives if re-papering is planned later.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For the painted surface, clean occasional marks gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
