Shockingly bad paint don’t ever but…

Shockingly bad paint don’t ever but this rubbish. I bought a 5lr ton of “Fresh Wheat” lovely colour, except the paint reacted with EVERYTHING, especially itself on the second coat. It bubbled and blistered all over with big half inch bubbles and little blisters everywhere. After speaking to Johnstone’s technician, I was told it was the crap wickes trade I undercoated the plaster with, I was told it was poor application, I was told my walls were dirty, everything but acceptance of there product being at fault. I tested the paint of paper, card, wood, and plasterboard, it’s blistered on everything! I took the paint back to the store I got it from and they tested it and saw the same results. I got a Dulux paint mixed in the same colour and that went on everything lovely. Not a single bubble or blister. Never buy this rubbish companies products. Oh and I ever tried their technicians advice and use and Johnstone’s Johcryl sealer, and that bubbled on the Johnstone’s paint, not in the same spot either. Trash!!!

I find Johnstones paint natural sage…

I find Johnstones not trade paint natural sage shows brush marks, needs 2/3 coats not opaque enough. I have nearly used 2.5x litres will need another. I have emailed to complain.Need a better quality paint. Disappointed. Will use my home which have vintage honey, cheaper and better quality.

Shocked at how bad this paint is

Shocked at how bad this paint is . I purchased a 2.5 litre Johnstones non drip gloss . I stirred and stirred the paint but upon application there was small lumps which made it impossible to get a good finish so I stirred it for literally 10 minutes but to no avail painted one door and stopped using never will I purchase any of Johnstones paints again utter rubbish

Absolutely brilliant paint...

Absolutely brilliant paint...I purchased a tin of Johnstone's Diamond Yellow Paint and opted for the sheen finish as the bedroom was already painted in a silk finish and was hideous to look at when natural light shone on itIt took 3 coats to cover the burgundy colour but I'm thrilled with the coverage.*Highly recommend*

The worst paint I have ever used

This is far and away the worst paint I have used over 40 years. Coverage is appalling and remains poor, even after 3 coats. I have used Johnstone's paints many times in the past without problems but I shall NEVER risk using it again.
