FAQs
Is Johnstone's MY Colour paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, its durable matt finish makes it perfect for busy areas like family rooms, hallways, and kitchens, where it can withstand more wear and tear.
What does 'Low VOC' mean?
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Low VOC paint contains fewer harmful chemicals that evaporate into the air during and after application, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for your home.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Absolutely. This paint is versatile and can be used on furniture and cabinets, provided the surfaces are properly prepared (cleaned, lightly sanded, and primed if necessary) to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish.
How many coats of paint are usually needed?
For best results and full colour depth, two coats are generally recommended. However, this can vary depending on the original surface colour, desired opacity, and application method. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.
How do I clean surfaces painted with Johnstone's MY Colour Durable Matt Paint?
Thanks to its durable formula, painted surfaces can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the matt finish.
What is 'Intense Colour Technology'?
Intense Colour Technology refers to the use of high-quality pigments and advanced formulations that deliver rich, deep, and vibrant colours that maintain their beauty and intensity over a longer period, resisting fading.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, Johnstone's MY Colour Luxurious Durable Matt Paint is specifically formulated for interior use only. For exterior projects, you should choose a paint designed to withstand outdoor elements.
Troubleshooting
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared. Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing or rolling. Use good quality brushes/rollers. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Colour appears duller than expected
Ensure adequate lighting when viewing. Allow paint to fully dry and cure, as colours often deepen. Consider applying a second or third coat for maximum vibrancy, especially when painting over a contrasting colour.
Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky
Check room temperature and humidity; paint dries best in moderate conditions. Ensure previous coats or primer were fully dry. Apply thinner coats; thick applications can prolong drying time. Ensure good ventilation.
Paint peeling or flaking
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and any loose material removed before painting. Use a suitable primer for difficult surfaces.
