This is the worst paint I’ve ever used. Goes on almost transparent - I wasn’t expecting a one coat job, but three coats in and it’s still patchy and the colour underneath is still very visible. Total waste of money.

I bought this brand after using the alleged better ones for decades, excellent paint, solid finish, apply slowly on a roller which stops the usual micro splatters. I have done two coats, the second used far less than the first, did not seep under the masking tape overall, very happy to find a decent brand.Recommended, and yes I did buy two cans.UpdateUsed the white as well since above rec, , again excellent, goes on slightly off white so you can see where you have been, dries brilliant white.

This paint considering has been around since 1890 so the tin says is awful. Stick to Dulux paint. I'm painting a magnolia wall with a darker sage green and you'd think it would cover it well . At this rate I'll need to do 3 coats. Learnt my lesson don't go cheap spend the money on Dulux

Not going to lie I am not a fan of this paint. I purchased quite a large tub of white emulsion as the reviews seemed fair.I am painting over the previous owners colours which are quite strong so I appreciate it's not an easy task to cover these colours but my arms are about ready to drop off :( I'm already on my 3rd coat and it still hasn't covered ~ I feel like I've wasted money and the precious little energy I have. If you're a hard core renovator with plenty of energy then put it in your basket... if you have any issues with energy levels or are hoping to complete the job on time this white emulsion might not be the one for you.

I bought this to touch-up a bedroom which had originally had this make and colour of paint applied to the walls a few years ago.This turned out to have almost no covering ability even after three coats, where a dark patch was still slightly visible, it also was darker than the original and slightly yellower.Overall I am very disappointed and wouldn't recommend it.

We're currently on the FOURTH coat of this paint in our bathroom and it's still patchy in areas. It's also already cracking which we can't understand. The second tin has actually arrived bust and leaking inside the plastic wrap which you can see in the photo. Tried to save money buying this paint and sadly we got what we paid for..!

First time using Johnstone's paint - and it won't be the last. I usually use Crown or Dulux, but never again after using this make. Virtually no smell at all. Fantastic coverage, easy to put on, and more importantly covered a darker colour paint no problem at all. Room looks amazing now. Colour exactly as it appears on the tin.

This paint is absolutely amazingI hate painting, I am leaving ny flat and made a lot of damages to the walls so I needed to repaint.So great great coverage, no smell at all and super fast drying !!I am so happy with it !!!Until it dried I was not sure bit as soon as the paint was dry it was perfect coverage.I love it !!!

In the past I have always used D***x or C***n brilliant white matt emulsion but due to unavailability in my area I ordered this Johnstone's paint. I found it superior to the other products and will definitley be using it again. It has excellent covering power and a beautiful very matt even finish. Even using a relatively long haired 'wool' roller there were no drips or splashes from the roller - not one! A truly excellent paint.

the paint was terrible. 50+ years of decorating never had paint like this. It dried streaky no matter how applied. I used a brush, a roller, a pad and always dried with a suede type streaky finish. Tried adding a little water but same results just terrible. Had to buy locally the usual brand to cover up the mess. Locking at other reviews maybe something had happened to this but will not but again.
