Proper preparation and care are essential to maximize the performance and longevity of Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For bare or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat (diluted paint) may be required.
Stirring: Before use, thoroughly stir the paint. This ensures that the color pigments and binders are evenly distributed for consistent coverage and finish.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid overspreading the paint.
This paint is formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is suitable for application on plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces.
Not recommended for floors or high-moisture areas where specialized kitchen/bathroom paint with enhanced mould resistance is typically advised, unless adequate ventilation is consistently maintained.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth as soon as possible. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the matt finish.
Paint Storage: Store the paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is firmly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes, rollers, and other equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.
