Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaks after drying

Ensure the surface was thoroughly clean, dry, and properly prepared before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each. Use a high-quality roller or brush appropriate for matt paint, and maintain a wet edge during application.

Paint not adhering properly to the surface

Verify that the surface is free from dust, grease, and any loose or flaky particles. For challenging surfaces like glossy paint or bare wood, a suitable primer or an adhesion promoter may be necessary to ensure proper bonding.

Colour appears different than expected

Paint colours can vary slightly based on lighting conditions, underlying surface colour, and the number of coats applied. Always test a small, inconspicuous area and allow it to dry completely to see the true colour before painting the entire space. Consider different lighting sources in the room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

To ensure the best results with Johnstone's My Colour Paint - Pink, proper preparation, application, and care are essential.

Surface Preparation (Setup)

Clean the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose or flaking material. Use a suitable cleaner if necessary, and rinse thoroughly.
Fill & Sand: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. Feather out the edges.
Prime (if needed): For new, bare, or porous surfaces, or if painting over a strong or contrasting colour, apply a suitable primer or base coat. This will ensure better adhesion and truer colour representation.
Mask: Use painter's tape to mask off any areas you don't want to paint, such as skirting boards, window frames, and light switches.

Application (Compatibility)

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for a wide range of interior surfaces including walls, ceilings, furniture, and cabinets. It adheres well to plaster, wood, and previously painted surfaces when properly prepared.
Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure the colour and consistency are uniform.
Application Method: Apply with a good quality brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, use synthetic brushes and medium-pile rollers for matt finishes.
Coats: Apply one to two coats, or more if needed, for full coverage and colour depth. Allow recommended drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times).
Even Strokes: Apply paint in even strokes, avoiding overloading your brush or roller to prevent drips and ensure a smooth finish.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Due to its durable nature, surfaces painted with Johnstone's My Colour can typically be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
Touch-ups: For minor scuffs or marks, keep a small amount of leftover paint for touch-ups. Apply carefully with a small brush.
Storage: Store any leftover paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to maintain its quality.
