Kitchen cupboard paint which states no…

Kitchen cupboard paint which states no primer needed gave them 3 coats and so easy to scratch them. Won't buy Johnston's products again plus can't seem to get a response from costumer service.

Wish I had read the reviews earlier

Wish I had read the reviews earlier, bought 3 tins of soft sheen brilliant white from B&M to cover Magnolia, 2 coats later and the walls in a small en suite are still largely Magnolia, absoloute garbage paint, dont know what sort of tradesmen rate it as brilliant on Google! remaining 2 tins are going back for a refund.

"Summer Storm bathroom paint

"Summer Storm bathroom paint. Totally different colour than advertised. Would not take to the walls. Very strong smell that gave me a headache.Email sent to their Customer Service who are as much use as a chocolate fireguard!Sent them a photo of the wall and the paints barcode. Want me to take it back to the shop for them to check the batch number and manufacturing dates.Bearing in mind the shop is 18 miles from me. I told them I won't take it back and from now on will use Dulux. Absolute waste of time

If I could rate this zero stars I would! Bought the shade steel smoke for my hallway, landing and stairs, it was previously magnolia so should’ve been an easy job but it took 6 coats and it’s still extremely patchy! I now have to take the paint to another shop and have them mix it and redo it under another brand to fix the absolute mess it’s caused! Everybody should avoid this brand because the paint is shocking, including the gloss!

Johnstones satin turns yellow

Used Johnstone solvent base satin within six months it turns yellow. Phoned Johnstones to be told what do you want me to do.

Absolute waste of money and time

Absolute waste of money and time. Worst paint I've ever used. Started lifting after two coats and destroyed all the time I spent painting

Johnstone's Woodcare Woodstain (Red Mahogany)

used this on the wooden 'railing' off my balcony and am very pleased with it.The wood had previously been done with Dulux Woodsheen (which seems to get terrible reviews) and despite doing the job very carefully and applying several coats didn't last well at all.In some ways this was good for the new finish as woodstain doesn't really work over paint or other coatings as it's supposed to let the wood below shine thru.Anyway. I have to say the colour of this is fantastic, and the finish. Looks amazing and is so simple to apply. It dries very quickly.Since taking the pics I have now applied a 3rd coat.Being water-based there is every chance it will not last any longer than the (water-based) Dulux product before it but we can't criticise the product in advance.4 stars given, instead of 5, purely because being water-based it could be weak.Wanted to add pics but there doesn't seem to be functionality for that

Terrible paint!!!

Paint went on really patchy. 2 coats still patchy. Gave up at that point and went and bought Farrow and Ball. 1 2.5 litre tin did the room and covered all the patchiness. Will never buy from Johnstones again! Will be expecting a full refund!!

Might as well have used water!!!

Purchased a tin of "Dark Angel" (deep purple) to decorate the bathroom in our new house. Walls were a very light cream, so should've been an easy job, however it took 4 coats to finally cover without leaving any streaks.Will not be using Johnstone paints for any other jobs. Utter rubbish!!
