Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering old colour effectively.

Ensure the previous surface is clean and dry. Apply even coats and allow adequate drying time between coats. A second coat is usually recommended for optimal coverage, especially over contrasting colours.

Stains or grease marks are still visible after wiping.

For best results, clean spills and marks promptly. While highly resistant, some stubborn stains may require a slightly stronger wipe with a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

The finish appears uneven or patchy.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply the paint evenly without overworking it. Maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to avoid lap marks. Proper surface preparation is also crucial for an even finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure a consistent colour and finish.
  3. Application: Apply the paint evenly with a brush or roller. Work in sections, ensuring a smooth, consistent coat.
  4. Allow Drying: Info needed: [Allow the recommended drying time between coats.] Apply a second coat if necessary for full coverage and depth of colour.

It is compatible with standard plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are properly prepared. Johnstone's Kitchen Emulsion Paint is available in a variety of other colours, including White, Cream, Beige, Blue, and Green, allowing for diverse interior design choices.

Care & Maintenance

To clean painted surfaces, simply use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Thanks to its high washability, most stains and spills will wipe away easily without scrubbing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing pads, as these can damage the finish.
