FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a luxurious, durable matt finish, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective appearance.

Can I use Johnstone's MY Colour paint in high-traffic areas?

Yes, its durable formula makes it ideal for busy areas such as family rooms, hallways, and kitchens, providing long-lasting protection.

Is this paint environmentally friendly or safe for my home?

Absolutely. It has a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content, meaning it releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air, making it safer for you and your family.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This versatile paint is suitable for interior walls, furniture, and cabinets, allowing you to create a cohesive look throughout your home.

How do I achieve the best colour result with 'Night Watch Blue'?

For the best results, ensure your surface is properly prepared. The Intense Colour Technology will provide rich hues, and applying two coats often enhances colour depth. Consider natural and artificial lighting as 'Night Watch Blue' can appear differently in various light conditions.

How many coats are typically needed?

While coverage varies, typically two coats are recommended to achieve full colour depth and a flawless finish, especially when painting over a contrasting colour.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or patchy finish

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly and consistently, maintaining a wet edge. Check for proper surface preparation; very absorbent or uneven surfaces can cause patchiness. A primer may be beneficial on porous surfaces.

Paint not adhering or peeling

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of grease or loose material before painting. On glossy surfaces, light sanding is crucial for adhesion. Repaint after proper surface preparation and priming if necessary.

Drying time is longer than expected

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Avoid applying excessively thick coats; multiple thin coats are always better.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long-Lasting Durable Matt Finish: Ideal for high-traffic areas, offering a sophisticated look that endures.
  • Rich, Vibrant Colour: Intense Colour Technology ensures deep and beautiful hues that resist fading.
  • Environmentally Friendlier: Low VOC content contributes to better indoor air quality.
  • Smooth Application: Advanced formula allows for easy application and a flawless result.
  • Interior Versatility: Can be used effectively on walls, furniture, and cabinets, enhancing various elements of a room.

Cons

  • Surface Preparation Critical: As with many high-quality paints, meticulous surface preparation is essential for achieving the advertised smooth and flawless finish, particularly with a matt. (This is a general characteristic of matt finishes).
  • Specific Aesthetic: The luxurious matt finish may not suit all interior design preferences if a higher sheen is desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, light sanding will improve adhesion.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during application, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour distribution.
  3. Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For optimal coverage and colour depth, two coats are usually recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility

  • Interior Surfaces: This paint is designed for interior use only.
  • Substrates: Ideal for application on interior walls, ceilings, suitable furniture, and cabinetry.

Care

  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Once fully cured (typically a few weeks after application), painted surfaces can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
  • Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
