FAQs
What surfaces can I use Johnstone's My Colour Durable Matt Paint on?
This paint is versatile and suitable for interior walls, ceilings, furniture, and cabinets. Ensure all surfaces are properly prepared (clean, dry, and sound) before application.
Is 'Singing Sand - Beige' a warm or cool color?
'Singing Sand - Beige' is described as a warm and inviting earth tone, making it an excellent choice for creating cozy and welcoming interior spaces.
What does 'low VOC' mean for this paint?
Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air during and after application. This makes it a more environmentally friendly choice and contributes to better indoor air quality, which is safer for you and your family.
How many coats of paint will I need?
Typically, two 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.
How do I clean brushes and rollers after using this paint?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then allow them to air dry.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While durable, for areas with high moisture and condensation like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically formulated for high humidity environments might offer better long-term performance against mold and mildew. This product is generally suitable for most interior dry rooms.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed if needed). Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Maintain a 'wet edge' when rolling to prevent lap marks. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Poor coverage or color transparency
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application. Ensure the surface is properly primed, especially if painting over a dark color or porous material. Apply an additional thin coat, allowing sufficient drying time.
Paint not drying properly or feels sticky
Ensure ambient conditions are within recommended ranges (not too humid or cold). Apply paint in thin coats; thick coats can take significantly longer to dry. Ensure good ventilation in the room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, light sanding will improve adhesion.
- Prime (if necessary): For unpainted or porous surfaces, and if transitioning from a very dark to a very light color, apply a suitable primer to ensure even absorption and color coverage.
- Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure consistent color and viscosity.
- Apply Evenly: Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply in thin, even coats. Avoid overloading your brush or roller.
Compatibility
- Interior Walls: Ideal for plaster, drywall, and previously painted walls.
- Ceilings: Provides a uniform, non-reflective finish.
- Furniture: Suitable for wooden and composite furniture, cabinets, and shelving units after proper preparation.
- Substrates: Compatible with most common interior building materials.
Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For general cleaning, gently wipe painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh abrasives or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the matt finish.
- Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of leftover paint for future touch-ups to minor scuffs or marks. Ensure the area is clean before applying.
- Storage: Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
