I've used Johnstone's paint for years and always found it really good however this time round it's been a disaster. I bought Johnstone's wood and metal paint satin in manhattan sky to revamp a few large pieces of furniture (as I've done many time's before). After throughly cleaning and lightly sanding I applied 2 coats of Zinsser B.I.N and then started to paint. The initial coat went on patchy and streaky, hardly leaving any paint on the pieces, cut to 4 coats later and I give up, it's still the same, I can still see the primer coming through and every brush stroke, it just won't level, there's light and dark area's, some shiny, some matt. The paint has no viscosity and smells so so bad. I've no idea what Johnstone's have done to their paint but it's not good and this experience has completely turned me off ever buying their paint again. Also to note, the paint colour was supposed to be a cool grey, it's not, it's actually blue and looks nothing like the images. There's no point in complaining to them as they obviously don't care about their customers judging by the reviews and lack of customer care. How they're still in business I don't know.I returned the paint to my local Woodies, who were absolutely fantastic. I exchanged it for Dulux, two coats later and the problem has been rectified.
