Johnstone's - Washable Paint - Black - Matt Finish - Emulsion Paint - Highly Durable - Stain Resistant - Non Toxic & Low Odour - 12m2 Coverage per Litre - 2.5L

This paint was a pleasant surprise. The coverage is excellent, even on older walls, and the colour dries evenly with a clean matt finish. It spreads smoothly with both roller and brush, and two coats were more than enough for a professional look. What stands out most is the washability. Marks wipe away easily without lifting the paint or leaving shiny patches, which makes it ideal for high traffic areas. It also dries quickly, so you can get a room finished in a short time. For the price, the performance is impressive, and the finish looks far more premium than expected. A very solid choice if you want durable, easy to clean walls.

In the pot, the colour I brought is very vibrant and deep. Initially surprised at how “thick” the paint appeared to be but with either a smooth emulsion (Harris) roller or a brush (for cutting in/edges) it went on really well, smoothly and covered reasonable large areas with one roller full. Brush loaded well and applied to the wall smoothly. One coat looked OK, but the colour came alive with the second coat. Very smooth finish and little to no smell when applied or as drying. Was touch dry very quickly, certainly within the manufacturers 2 hour timeframe; re- coat able at the 4 hour mark. Very little splatter when applied with the roller. One can argue that it’s a bit pricey, but I’d argue all day long that its value for money given its, in my humble opinion, quality and application.

Very nice soft pink colour, used to paint over lime green, needed three coats in some areas but the wall hadn’t been painting in a very long time

For a washable paint, it performs well and the colour gives a nice clean look once it’s on. It’s easy to use, decent thickness and covers the kids’ marks without too much effort. Dry time’s a bit longer than I’d like, but the washability is spot on and makes life easier in a busy house. I'd use it again for use.

Really good nice colour

I Recently used Johnstone’s Washable Paint in Manhattan Grey for my living room, and I’m really impressed with the results. The matt finish gives the walls a modern, elegant look without any shine, and the coverage is excellent — the 2.5L pot easily covered the advertised 12m² per litre. The paint goes on smoothly and is very easy to apply with a roller, with no streaks or uneven patches. I particularly appreciated that it’s low odour and non-toxic, which made painting indoors much more comfortable. Cleanup was simple, and any minor splashes washed off surfaces easily. I’ve also tested its durability — the walls wipe clean with no marks or stains, which is perfect for a busy home. Overall, I would highly recommend this paint to anyone looking for a high-quality, washable, and durable finish for interior walls.” Pros: Smooth application, matte elegant finish, low odour, non-toxic, washable Cons: Takes two coats for deeper coverage on very dark walls

Very good colors.highly recomend.dries quickly.value for money.washability.

A decent paint that covers realy well. Very little dribbling when I applied it with a roller and depending on the previous colour may cover in one go. I did a couple of coats with an undercoat to cover a dark black and it covered with no issues. Thanks
