FAQs
How large an area can this 75ml pot cover?
It is designed to cover an area of approximately 30cm square.
Can I use this on wood or trim?
No, this product is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings.
Is the finish washable?
Matte finishes are generally less scrubbable than satin or gloss paints, so clean carefully with a damp cloth if necessary.
How many coats should I apply for a test?
Two coats are recommended to accurately judge the depth and true shade of the color.
Does it need a primer?
On most standard wall surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary, but it may help if you are painting over a very dark or highly porous surface.
What should I do if I decide to proceed with the full project?
You can purchase the full 2.5L Johnstone's Dark Angel Matt Emulsion to ensure a consistent finish across your room.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after application
Apply a second thin coat once the first is touch-dry to improve coverage and color consistency.
Difficulty opening the tester lid
Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the edge of the lid around the rim rather than pulling from one side.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your wall surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris before applying the tester. Shake the pot well before opening to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Use a standard high-quality paintbrush for the test area to simulate the finish of a full application. The paint is compatible with standard wall and ceiling surfaces; however, it is not designed for wood or metal. Once the test patch has dried, evaluate the color under different lighting conditions. Store any remaining paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
