Product Information
Full details
This Johnstone's Quick Dry Gloss paint in Beige is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a durable, high-quality finish for interior wood and metal surfaces. Its primary benefit is its rapid drying time, allowing for efficient application and completion of projects faster. A potential consideration is that, like many gloss paints, it requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion and finish. Key features include a water-based, low-odour formulation, high opacity for excellent coverage, and a non-yellowing gloss finish that resists scuffing and fading.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, de-greased, and sanded if necessary. Use a suitable primer, especially on bare wood or previously painted surfaces where compatibility is uncertain.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Ensure the brush or roller is suitable for water-based gloss paint.
Paint is drying too quickly, making it difficult to apply
Work in smaller sections. Consider using a paint retarder additive specifically designed for water-based paints, especially in warm conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation but avoid direct sunlight or strong drafts.
Colour appears different once dry
Allow the paint to dry completely as the final colour develops over time. Test a small, inconspicuous area first if colour matching is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: For optimal adhesion and a flawless finish, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy or smooth surfaces and wipe clean. For bare wood, apply a suitable primer first. For previously painted surfaces, ensure compatibility and prime if necessary, especially if switching from oil-based to water-based paint.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Avoid applying in very humid conditions or extreme temperatures. Aim for even strokes to prevent brush marks.
Coverage: Approximately 13m² per litre, depending on the surface and application method.
Drying Time: Dries to the touch in 1-2 hours. Recoatable after 2-4 hours depending on conditions.
Cleanup: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.
Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 24-48 hours for light use, longer for heavy wear) before subjecting it to heavy cleaning or stress. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
