FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, particularly those in high-traffic kitchen areas.

Is a primer needed before applying this paint?

While not always mandatory, a suitable primer is recommended for very porous surfaces, significant colour changes, or bare plaster to ensure optimal adhesion and a consistent finish.

How do I clean my kitchen walls painted with Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion?

Once fully cured, the painted surface can be gently wiped clean. Info needed: Specific recommendations on cleaning agents or methods. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the matt finish.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

For best results and full colour depth, two coats are typically recommended. Always follow application instructions on the can.

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

While designed for kitchens with high condensation, the specific formulation might be suitable for bathrooms. However, for optimum performance in extreme bathroom conditions, consider paints specifically labeled for bathrooms.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Info needed: Please refer to the product label or technical data sheet for specific touch-dry and recoat times, as these can vary with temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.

Ensure the surface was clean and properly prepared. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, avoiding excessive pressure or overspreading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is not adhering properly or is flaking.

Thorough surface preparation is crucial. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease before application. A suitable primer may be needed for very porous or difficult surfaces.

Colour looks different on the wall than in the can.

Colour perception can be influenced by lighting conditions in the room and the underlying wall colour. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use. Allow the paint to fully dry, as wet paint can appear different. Apply two coats for the true colour.
