RUBBISH
RUBBISH. As stated in previous reviews paint just would not stick to the wall. The deep shading of roller/brush edge took 5 coats to cover. Although I used sugar soap and new cloth to clean the walls first, I thought it must be a problem with my walls so I re-cleaned walls with just clean water. WRONG it was just rubbish below standard paint.
Big Mistake
Same experience as others. Paint does not cover after 3 coats. Bought another tin to finish off the job as it had used so much paint. Second tin different shade and sheen. Now got to paint it all again. Wish I had checked reviews before buying.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Wish I had have read the reviews first. If I could give minus stars I would. Used three different colours of Johnstone to do a geometric design on daughters wall. When peeling the masking tape off, the paint peeled with it like acrylic vinyl. In disbelief at it.
Terrible paint
Terrible paint, 4 coats later of dark blue over cream and it’s still patchy and not covered, also you only have to rub against it and it comes off exposing the under coat, never known a paint like it, only bought as we liked the colour now looking at crown or Dulux to repaint
no need to cover anything it will disappear on its own
if you poured10 litres of white matt over the orange around the star,you would still see the orange
Worst paint I have ever used
Worst paint I have ever used. Very patchy, even after several coats and that's after 10 litres in a small box / bedroom. Waste of time, especially but money too. AVOID! You have been warned.
