FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
While it can be used, matte paint is generally less moisture-resistant than dedicated kitchen/bathroom paints and may be harder to wipe clean.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is designed for quick drying, typically touch-dry in 1-2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.
Do I need to use a primer?
A primer is recommended if you are painting over raw plaster, bare wood, or very dark colors to ensure proper adhesion and uniform color.
How should I clean my brushes?
This is a water-based emulsion, so you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm water and a little soap immediately after use.
Can this be used on ceilings?
Yes, this paint is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush or roller marks
Ensure you are using a quality tool and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.
Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application
This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure the wall was free of dust, grease, and loose paint before applying.
Uneven color or 'patchy' appearance
Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry, ensuring even pressure during application, or use a primer if the original wall was highly porous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before starting. Remove any dirt or grease using a mild detergent and allow the surface to dry completely. For porous surfaces, a mist coat (paint thinned with water) may be necessary for the first layer to prevent uneven suction. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent skinning. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
