JOHNSTONE'S MATT VINYL..WORST PAINT EVER

We hired professional painters to paint our lounge. We however purchased the paint. The paint supplied to us was Johnstone's Trade Covaplus Vinyl Matt. It is without doubt THE worst paint I have ever come across. Marks with the lightest of touch...Cannot remove the marks. 2 coats were given. A total waste of time and expense...We ended up painting ALL again with a decent paint. WILL NEVER USE JOHNSTON'S AGAIN!!

Took 4 coats of white paint to finish…

Took 4 coats of white paint to finish room, chucked the rest in the bin and bought Fleetwood which managed the job beautifully in 2 coats. Avoid this brand, its muck and will be letting Woodies know I won't be buying anything from them ever again.

Terrible quality and very disappointing- it’s like using watercolours on your walls

Terrible and disappointing. I selected two paints from the MyColour range. Nightcap was the colour I started with - looks great on the sample sheet but OMG it was so patchy and slow. It was like painting with water colours. We did one section 3 times to see how many coats it would take. I think it would take at least 4 possibly 5. We gave up after one wall and returned the paint. We bought a similar colour in Dulux - regular vinyl Matt- and after 1 coat it had great coverage. I’m so sorry I didn’t read these reviews before buying. I’m out of pocket about €110 not to mention time wasted.

Awful - avoid at all costs.

I have been used to using good oil based gloss white paints for many years, the vast majority recovering white or faded white with one coat. I made the mistake of listening to a local supplier who couldn't praise this paint enough. I bought just a small 1l tin as was skeptical about the quality and coverage of a water based gloss paint. It quickly became apparent that this paint is very thin with poor coverage. Once dry you can see every brush stroke and streak and runs very easily. Please don't be persuaded to buy what I was told was the 'best paint in the UK'.

Terrible

Terrible. This is the worst paint I have ever used. It looks so bad I ended up using it as an under coat and had to buy dulux to go over the top. It’s just leaves massive streaks on the wall and is so thin and watery. It’s absolutely horrendous. I can’t imagine this company gets any repeat customers after the first time they try the paint. Never again.

Johnstones Trade Acrylic Durable Matt

Johnstones Trade Acrylic Durable Matt. Many of the reviews on here do not say what paint they are using. I have used the Acrylic Durable Matt for about 12 years. 3 full house paints. This time it is dreadful. I am covering a light peach with a soft almond. I am now on my 3rd coat. Really bad flashing around the edges. They have just had their 4th coat! The walls have been lightly sanded, washed with sugar soap, rinsed and left to dry. The wet edge is tricky, I now lightly dry roller and leave for 4 hours before I go near it, if I cannot do it within minutes. It drags and comes away if I don't . I sadly will not be using this again.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST

If I could give this company nil points I would !I purchased all the paint from this store for a major renovation and was so so disappointed by their colour match service. I was told it would be a close match. It was completely wrong. I had a professional decorator with many years of experience who was shocked at how far out the colour was. Sadly the colour was applied to my shop, walls and counters and on my return I was horrified by the colour nothing like it should have been. I headed back to the shop to complain and 2 months later I have waited for a response which is wholly inadequate, basically saying they only provide a close match. It was about 20 shades lighter. Customer service is disgraceful PLEASE AVOID THIS SHODDY COMPANY AT ALL COST
