Spent thousands of pounds having this render on our front walls, because apparently it is the best and is for minimal maintenance! Well after 3 months and 3 washes this render is appalling! It stains, actually stains! Long story short, Johnstones have informed us this render, cannot be used by roads, trees, footpaths, any where it may get dirty! Render basically can not be used OUTSIDE!!!!! So the reason why we went for this was to stop the one thing we now have to do PAINT! THANK GOD FOR ZINSSER! NEVER USE JOHNSTONES ABSOLUTELY USELESS! AND THE RESPONSE DISGUSTING!!!!!! AVOID!!!!!!

Followed the directions to the letter…

Followed the directions to the letter and you only have to look at it and it scratches off! not suitable for any cupboards, let alone a kitchen...

'One coat' paint.

Purchased 'One Coat' paint for a wall which was already primed & painted. Very patchy. Improved on 2nd coat but took 3 coats in places. Complained online & got a seemingly standard reply stating coverage dependant on wall surface etc. Doesn't say anything about that in their brochure. Sent photos of wall after 1 & 2 coats & got the same standard reply. Won't be buying their products again.

Absolutely dreadful paint

Absolutely dreadful paint! The emulsion needed at least 3 coats,for hardly any change to the base colour, before the patchiness was removed. The Silk Indoor non-drip paint for wood and metal was just as bad. It was like trying to paint with milk! I’ve never experienced such poor quality in 50 years of decorating.
