Johstone s Acrylic Eggshell - Excellent paint at a good price

I ve used Johnstone s acrylic eggshell many times to spray paint furniture It covers just as well as Farrow Ball but at half the price Never used the emulsion so I can t comment

Wish I d read these reviews before I brought it

Wish I d read these reviews before buying the paint Saw the colour on the chart I really wanted was a reasonable price but upon putting it on the wall having to put at least 3 coats on due to it being so patchy plus when putting the mirror up the slightest touch it leaves terrible marks on the paintwork Will not buy again I have a photo but doesn t let me upload it

Bought a 5 litre tin of the Monets

Bought a 5 litre tin of the Monets Lavender as you cant get by Dulux unless you live in Canada What a waste of time money and energy its like water take a tip Dulux Crown is slightly more and worth every penny do not touch this rubbish the cheeky gits even charged me over a 5 for a Tester pot avoid Johnstone paints they are worse than any plague

Steel smoke matt

Steel smoke matt 1st coat patchy as expected 2nd coat still patchy 3rd coat 2nd pot and it s like I ve used a different colour grey Not impressed at all and I ve used Johnstones paint several times Really put me off and now in the predicament of either putting on more coats or changing brand colour either way more time expense avoid avoid avoid

Do not buy Johnstones paint

I made the mistake of buying johnstones paint trading since 1890 They used to do decent paint but I now know they are under different ownership It was terrible watery didn t cover and probably wouldn t pass trade descriptions act for the purpose we buy paint Bought it in good faith from B M I think they ought to think through stocking something of such poor quality I don t have much spare cash but had to buy more paint of a different brand that actually covered the walls Shockingly bad paint do not buy

Bought their undercoat

Bought their undercoat which went on beautifully but the toxic smell is overpowering Thank god we exchanged the gloss for Dulux or we would ve ended up in hospital Ten days after we undercoated we are still coughing getting headaches and experiencing chest pains Even though we applied Dulux gloss that has no smell over the Johnstones undercoat the smell is still overpowering NEVER AGAIN I ll contact the company to alert them to the potentially dangerous fumes UPDATE have tried contacting company and the message keeps getting rejected Says everything

Johnstones stain away white matt Paint

I was hoping this would cover some stains and I could use as a base before adding a further coat in a slightly different colour It neither covered the marks went on the wall really patchy wall had been washed with sugar soap and when I tried to add the next coat colour it went on really uneven I am so disappointed This stainaway paint was not cheap and was absolutely useless I do not recommend

I bought the trade Matt emulsion in B M

I bought the trade Matt emulsion in brilliant white which states it is suitable for newly plastered walls Although my walls are not newly plastered I had two walls that had been stripped of paper and two painted in duck egg blue My initial impression on opening the tin was doesn t look brilliant white but unfortunately I trusted Johnstones more than my eyes The paint is like water coverage very poor and the finish apart from being patchy is off white cream As a female pensioner I have neither the energy or inclination to apply a 2nd 3rd and possibly 4th coat according to some reviews of this rubbish This was always my go to paint retailer so therefore I didn t look at the reviews my mistake DO NOT BUY
