FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on the environmental conditions. Refer to the paint can for specific drying times, usually between 2-4 hours for touch dry and 16-24 hours for recoating.

Can I use this paint in a shower?

While the paint is water-resistant, it's best to avoid direct and constant water contact. It is suitable for areas around the shower, but not inside the shower itself.

How do I clean the paint?

Use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Is a primer necessary?

A primer is recommended for new or bare surfaces. It also helps with adhesion when painting over glossy surfaces. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is often unnecessary.

What colors are available?

Johnstone's Bathroom Mid-Sheen Paint is available in a wide range of colors. Check your local retailer for the full selection.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchens due to its moisture-resistant and wipeable properties.

How much paint will I need?

Coverage depends on the surface and the application method. Consult the paint can for coverage details based on the size of the room.

Can I use a paint sprayer?

Yes, you can use a paint sprayer, but ensure the sprayer is suitable for emulsion paints and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a primer if necessary.

Paint is peeling.

Make sure the surface is completely dry and free of moisture before painting. Check the existing paint for any loose areas and remove them before applying the new coat.

Uneven finish or streaks.

Apply an even coat of paint and avoid over-brushing. Ensure the roller is evenly loaded with paint. Use a second coat to even out the finish.

Mold or mildew reappearing.

Clean the affected area thoroughly with a mold and mildew remover before painting. Ensure good ventilation to prevent future growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or mildew. Wash the walls with a suitable cleaner to remove any dirt or residue. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, a primer may not be necessary, unless the old paint is glossy or the surface is porous. Always prime new or bare surfaces.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats, allowing the recommended drying time between coats (as specified on the paint can). Use a brush, roller, or sprayer, depending on the desired finish and surface.
  4. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most common surfaces found in bathrooms, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
  5. Care: Clean up spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water will keep the paint looking its best.
  6. Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation during the painting process and while the paint is drying.
