FAQs

Where can I use Johnstone's Kitchen Matt Emulsion Paint?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas prone to high condensation or grease buildup.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, its durable and grease-resisting properties make it easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, ideal for maintaining freshness in busy areas.

How many coats are typically needed?

For optimal coverage and durability, two coats are generally recommended. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

On new, bare, or highly porous surfaces, or when significantly changing color, a suitable primer or an initial mist coat is recommended for best results. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is usually not necessary.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It provides a smooth, non-reflective matt finish, which helps to minimize the appearance of minor surface imperfections.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

Yes, its formulation for high condensation areas makes it suitable for use on bathroom walls and ceilings, offering protection against moisture.

How do I prepare my walls for painting?

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Fill any holes or cracks, sand smooth, and degrease kitchen walls thoroughly before application.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion or flaking paint.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before painting. Remove all loose material, and consider priming porous or glossy surfaces for better grip.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.

Ensure the paint is well-stirred. Apply thin, even coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge and work in manageable sections. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint appears darker/lighter than expected or color variation.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Lighting conditions can affect perceived color. Always check a small test patch in the intended environment before full application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Surface Preparation

  1. Clean: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material, dirt, dust, and grease. Use a suitable degreaser for kitchen walls.
  2. Smooth: Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key.
  3. Prime (if needed): On new, bare, or highly porous surfaces, or when painting over strong colors, apply a suitable primer or an initial mist coat (diluted paint) to ensure proper adhesion and a uniform finish.
  4. Stir: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
  5. Application: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Avoid overspreading.

Compatibility

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, particularly those in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-traffic or high-condensation areas. It is designed for use over plaster, wallpaper, and previously painted surfaces in sound condition.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Due to its grease-resisting and durable nature, the painted surface can be gently wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.
  • Touch-ups: For minor scuffs, localized touch-ups can be done, but ensure the original paint is clean and dry. Be aware that touched-up areas may show slight variations in sheen depending on the original application and age of the paint.
