Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is engineered for interior environments where both aesthetic appeal and practical durability are paramount. Its 'Forest Stroll' colour provides a refreshing and calming backdrop, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and studies. The key performance indicator for this paint is its washability. In high-traffic areas like hallways, children's bedrooms, or even kitchens, everyday mishaps such as scuffs, muddy handprints, or light food splatters can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth, without the worry of removing paint or leaving shiny streaks. This feature significantly reduces maintenance effort and prolongs the fresh look of your walls.
The low odour characteristic is particularly beneficial for occupied homes, minimizing disruption during painting and allowing quicker return to normal use of painted rooms. Its quick-drying nature enables faster recoating, often within a few hours, meaning a room can be transformed within a single day. The paint's formulation for smooth, even coverage ensures that even DIY enthusiasts can achieve a professional-looking finish, reducing the likelihood of patchy areas or visible brush/roller marks when applied correctly to prepared surfaces.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dust, and grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For new plaster, bare surfaces, or significantly porous/uneven walls, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of this paint as a mist coat.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during application to ensure uniform colour and consistency.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, typically two coats are recommended. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overspreading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Surfaces: This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It can be applied to plaster, plasterboard, concrete, and existing painted surfaces (after proper preparation).
Conditions: For optimal application, ensure the room temperature is between 10°C and 28°C and humidity is not excessively high.
Cleaning Marks: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning agents, as this could damage the matt finish. For more stubborn stains, a very mild, diluted detergent solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Spill Management: Address spills promptly while they are fresh for the easiest removal.
Storage: Store unused paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
