What is Johnstone’s Trade Paint?

Johnstone’s is one of the longest-running paint companies in the UK. They’ve been brightening homes and buildings up and down the country from the late 1800s. Their paints can go the mile and help anyone paint a room without much trouble.

Their vinyl matt is one of the best you’ll ever use. We think their lighter colours available in the Johnstone's Covaplus Matt 10L range have a fantastic pigment.

They are ideal when you want to use lighter shades indoors but don’t want paint where you’ll still see old scuff marks and discolouration underneath.

Why Johnstone’s Trade Paint?

Johnstone’s Trade Paint is regarded as one of the best in the world for its price point. There’s nary a DIY or paint shop in the UK which doesn’t have Johnstone’s Trade Paint in stock, and it’s easy to see why. Their mini-ranges perform to a high standard.

Some of the ranges to take note of include:

• Johnstone’s Covaplus
• Johnstone’s Flortred
• Johnstone’s Stormshield
• Johnstone’s Ecological

They also have some hard-working woodwork paints that are great for gardens. Any customers looking for reliable garden paint, some of the Johnstone’s Woodworks paints currently in stock are fantastic, especially the Johnstone’s Satin Woodstain which can be mixed in a multitude of colours. Many commercial customers with outdoor areas use paint like this to create colourful seating areas.

You’ll need to make sure the area you’re painting in is fully prepped and cleaned before you begin. We have all the painting tools and paint prep equipment you need to get the job done.
