Review: Wonderful paint with a great consistency!! - First off, this is a really great paint! I’ll start by saying, I have been a life-long user of a well known high end paint, (F&B) so naturally, was pretty sceptical of this formulas coverage and consistency. I needed a cheap alternative to cover a large area, just for a short-term spruce up after moving home, but honestly, I could not be happier and now a convert to Johnson’s! This paint is a rich and creamy consistency, offers great coverage, no drips or streaks even when cutting in with a brush and a in a neutral ‘grey-beige’ colour, so if that’s what you’re looking for, simply, go for it!! Fabulous and will be using again moving forward!! Thanks Johnson’s 💕
Review: Smooth application and excellent coverage for a clean modern finish - This paint went on beautifully. The consistency is smooth and easy to control, which makes cutting in and rolling both feel effortless. Coverage is impressive, especially for lighter shades, and the second coat created an even, flawless finish with no streaking or patchiness. It dries quickly, which helps speed up the whole job, and the final look is a soft matt that gives the room a clean modern feel. Once dry, it also seems durable, with no scuffing or marks when lightly cleaned. For the price, the quality is very good and it performs just as well as some more expensive brands. A reliable choice for anyone decorating walls or ceilings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its good may need more than 2 coats
*by R***N on 10 November 2025*

I do like the colour of Johnston’s Paint brand it looks soft, neutral beige or off-white shade Without being too dark. The finish is matt which helps hide wall imperfections and creates a smooth, even appearance under indoor lighting. When I First put this colour on few years ago, I did not get this finish, it was rushed the first time I did it and so this time I properly applied this paint neater than few years ago. I am unsure how many coats you will need but I think 3 coats will do the job. It seems to have good opacity. Overall quite happy with the quality of the product but does tend to dry a little too quickly when you have the paint out in a paint tray.
