Product Information
Full details
The Johnstone's Quick Dry Satin in Pink Cadillac is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-apply paint for various indoor and outdoor projects. Its key benefit is a fast-drying, low-odour, water-based formula that delivers a professional satin finish with excellent scuff and fade resistance. A potential caveat is that while it's self-undercoating, a separate primer might be beneficial for optimal adhesion on very porous or challenging surfaces.

FAQs
What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Quick Dry Satin on?
This paint is suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces including wood, metal, plaster, and previously painted surfaces.
How long does it take to dry?
It is quick-drying. Recoating is typically possible within a few hours, but check the specific drying times on the product label for best results.
Do I need a primer?
It is self-undercoating, meaning a primer is not always necessary. However, for bare, porous, or problem surfaces, using a suitable primer is recommended for optimal adhesion and finish.
How do I clean up?
Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills with water immediately after use.
Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
While durable, for areas with very high moisture or condensation, a paint specifically designed for such environments might be more suitable.
What is the coverage rate?
The approximate coverage is 12 square meters per litre (12m²/L).
Can I use this over an oil-based paint?
Yes, you can generally use it over properly prepared oil-based paint. Lightly sanding the existing surface will improve adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint not drying properly
Ensure application occurred in appropriate temperatures (above 10°C) and humidity levels. Avoid applying too thickly.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply paint thinly and evenly. Use a good quality brush or roller. Ensure paint is stirred well and not applied too dry.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. A primer may be needed on difficult surfaces.
Colour appears different than expected
Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions. Ensure adequate light during application and drying. Check the batch number for consistency.
