Johnstone's One Coat Matt Emulsion Paint - Pure Brilliant White 2.5L

Product Information

Keep in mind that “one coat” is a product title developed by manufacturers and not an absolute promise and the area where the one coat paint will be used is a great indicator of the appropriate paint product for the job. This is because certain areas around the home require water-resistant paint while other locations can get by with paint that offers some protection but is more for aesthetic appeal.

While the acrylic one coat paint comes in an ultra-white color, it can be tinted to provide a number of color options. This paint product also features a range of finishes, including satin, flat, eggshell, and semi-gloss in 1-gallon, 1-quart, or 5-gallon sizes. Once the paint has fully cured in about 24 hours, it becomes durable enough for regular cleaning and medium to hard scrubbing.

There are 16 pastel colours to choose from including their ‘Whiter than white’ paint for a bright white finish. It has a lovely smooth consistency that is easy to apply and covers really well. One coat can be enough but like most paints two coats make for a much better finish. They‘ve been making paint for over 100 years, so they know their stuff and it shows in their products. It is a water-based paint that offers high opacity, which means it's pretty good at hiding previously painted walls, basically it gives good coverage especially for the price. This GREENGUARD certified combination paint and primer is made for durability and long-lasting protection. Once the paint has fully cured, it’s resistant to flame, mold, mildew, staining, and moisture. The latex paint is also strong enough to withstand hard scrubbing and won’t fade, flake, wrinkle, or shift so that the walls, trim, or ceiling can be washed regularly and still retain the vibrant ultra-white color. When deciding on a one coat paint product, the color is an obvious consideration that should be made depending on the desired aesthetic. The finish may require a bit more thought because it can be split into several categories, including flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss.

One Coat Paint | Matt Finish - Antique White - 2.5L

Low-traffic surfaces, like the walls in the living room, den, dining room, bedrooms, and halls, are suitable for one coat paint that is designed to provide a small amount of protection to the drywall while looking great. Any protection beyond this is a bonus. Budget can sometimes play a part, but cheap paints are typically avoided as they are rarely any good, but budget paints can still serve a purpose, such as a base for a mist coat when painting new plaster.
