Performance & Real-World Use Johnstone's MY Colour Luxurious Durable Matt Paint is designed to deliver both aesthetics and resilience. Its durable matt finish makes it an excellent choice for busy areas of your home, such as family rooms, hallways, and kitchens, where surfaces are prone to scuffs and marks. The paint's robust nature means it can withstand regular cleaning without compromising its finish or colour integrity. Thanks to Intense Colour Technology, the grey hue will appear rich and consistent, transforming dull walls into vibrant focal points. This technology ensures the colour holds up over time, resisting fading and maintaining its initial appeal. For optimal performance, apply to clean, dry, and smooth surfaces. While it offers excellent coverage, preparing the surface adequately will ensure a flawless, professional result. The paint is also versatile enough for furniture and cabinets, allowing you to unify your decor with a consistent colour palette. Consider using the 60-30-10 principle for creating harmonious colour combinations, where this grey can serve as a primary (60%) or secondary (30%) colour, complemented by accents (10%). For example, a grey wall (60%), with white trim (30%), and a bold yellow accessory (10%).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. 2. Priming (Optional but Recommended): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or when significantly changing colour, apply a suitable primer or a mist coat (paint thinned with 10-20% water) first. 3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overspreading. 4. Coats: Typically, two coats are recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times, usually 2-4 hours). 5. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. ### Compatibility - Surfaces: Ideal for interior walls, ceilings, wood (e.g., skirting boards, doors, furniture), and metal (e.g., radiators, cabinets) after proper priming. - Other Paints: Can be applied over most existing emulsion or water-based paints, provided the surface is sound. ### Care - Cleaning: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days), painted surfaces can be gently wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers which can damage the matt finish. - Maintenance: Regularly dust surfaces to prevent build-up. Touch-ups can be done carefully with leftover paint if needed.
