FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, its highly durable and washable properties make it suitable for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where higher moisture and frequent cleaning are common. However, for areas with very high condensation, a dedicated bathroom or kitchen paint might offer enhanced mold resistance.
How many coats are typically required?
Generally, 2 coats are recommended for optimal coverage and color depth, especially when painting over a contrasting color. However, this can vary based on surface condition and original color.
What is the drying time between coats?
This paint is quick-drying. Typically, it is touch dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Always check the paint for tackiness before recoating.
How do I clean my painted walls?
For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild, non-abrasive detergent can be used. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh chemicals.
Is the 'low odour' feature noticeable?
Yes, the low odour formula significantly reduces the strong paint smells commonly associated with painting, providing a more comfortable and less intrusive experience during and after application.
What is the coverage per liter?
> Info needed: Specific coverage per liter is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the product label or technical data sheet for precise coverage details.
Troubleshooting
Paint not providing full coverage or appearing patchy after one coat.
Ensure the surface was properly primed, especially if it was a dark or highly porous surface. Apply a second coat after the recommended drying time. For significant color changes, a primer tinted towards the final color can help.
Marks are difficult to wipe away or leave a faint residue.
Wipe spills and marks as soon as they occur. For stubborn marks, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals.
Paint has an uneven finish or brush/roller marks are visible.
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the area. Use a high-quality roller or brush suitable for emulsion paints. Ensure each coat is dry before applying the next.
Paint is not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid applying paint too thickly, as this can significantly extend drying times. Check the room's temperature and humidity; cooler, more humid conditions will slow drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint, follow these guidelines:
Setup & Application
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material. Fill any cracks or holes, then sand smooth. For new, porous, or highly absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer or a mist coat (paint diluted with 10% water) may be beneficial.
- Protect Your Space: Cover floors, furniture, and adjacent areas with dust sheets or painter's tape.
- Stir Well: Before use, thoroughly stir the paint to ensure an even consistency and color.
- Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Work in sections, applying two coats for optimal coverage and depth, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Maintain a consistent painting technique for a smooth, even finish.
- Clean Up: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Compatibility
This washable matt emulsion is ideal for interior walls and ceilings in various rooms throughout your home.
Care & Maintenance
- Spot Cleaning: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can still damage the finish over time.
- Prompt Action: Address spills and marks as soon as possible for the easiest and most effective cleaning.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can compromise the washable properties and the matt finish of the paint.
