Review: Excellent - Excellent paint, went on so well to the walls and left a great finish and a lovely colour. One tin did a whole bedroom so I’m very happy with value for money. It was so easy to apply and 2 coats were applied to leave an excellent finish. It also dried very quickly too, within 2 hours which was great and meant we could apply the second coat quickly. Highly recommend.
Review: Great coverage, great consistency and great price - This is our go to brand for any white painting. This time I bought this to freshen up walls and woodwork and was really impressed with the finish. The paint goes on smoothly and gives a clean, bright white without looking thin or patchy. Coverage was better than expected and it dried evenly with a nice soft sheen that’s easy to wipe clean. It didn’t have an overpowering smell either, which was a bonus when painting indoors. Pros: • Good coverage and consistency • Smooth, even silk finish • Bright white without looking harsh • Easy to clean once dry Cons: • Needs a decent stir before use, especially if it’s been stored Overall, this is a reliable, good-quality emulsion and great value for money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its good may need more than 2 coats
*by R***N on 10 November 2025*

I do like the colour of Johnston’s Paint brand it looks soft, neutral beige or off-white shade Without being too dark. The finish is matt which helps hide wall imperfections and creates a smooth, even appearance under indoor lighting. When I First put this colour on few years ago, I did not get this finish, it was rushed the first time I did it and so this time I properly applied this paint neater than few years ago. I am unsure how many coats you will need but I think 3 coats will do the job. It seems to have good opacity. Overall quite happy with the quality of the product but does tend to dry a little too quickly when you have the paint out in a paint tray.
