Full details
Johnstone's Brilliant White Vinyl Soft Sheen Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals looking to refresh walls and ceilings with a sophisticated, velvety finish. Its creamy formula provides excellent coverage, effectively concealing minor surface imperfections while offering a durable, wipeable surface suitable for high-traffic areas. While it delivers a professional-grade look, users should note that the soft sheen finish may highlight wall surface irregularities more than a standard flat matt paint, requiring proper surface preparation for the best results.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
While it is wipeable, for high-humidity areas, we generally recommend using specialized kitchen and bathroom paints with anti-mold properties.
Can I use this on wood?
This is an emulsion paint specifically formulated for walls and ceilings; it is not recommended for wood surfaces, which typically require wood-specific primers and finishes.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry usually occurs within 1-2 hours, but it is best to leave at least 4 hours between coats for optimal results.
How much area will 5L cover?
Generally, 5L covers approximately 60-70 square meters depending on the porosity of the surface and application thickness.
Do I need a primer?
If you are painting over a similar, sound color, a primer is not strictly necessary. However, for porous, new, or dark surfaces, a primer is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks or streaks
Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Paint is not covering well
Ensure the surface was properly primed or previously painted; if the wall is porous, it will soak up the paint, requiring an extra coat.
Paint finish is patchy
Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure pigments are evenly distributed, and ensure consistent application pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat first. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic roller or brush. Apply the paint in even strokes, working in manageable sections to maintain a wet edge and avoid overlap marks.
Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from frost and keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use. Clean tools immediately after application using warm, soapy water. If you are changing the color of a wall drastically, consider using a primer to ensure the best color payoff and longevity of the final topcoat.
