What surfaces does Johnstone's Trade Gloss work best on?
Johnstone's Trade Gloss is versatile enough to work on both interior and exterior surfaces. Most people painting inside would opt for any of the Aqua System products as they have a quicker drying time and less of an odour, although it is common for someone to buy Aqua products to use inside and out.
Johnstone’s Trade Gloss works on:
- Hardwood
- Softwood
- Timber
- Window frames
- Wood
- Metal
If you're only working outside and want durable protection, stick with solvent-based paints.
What is the typical recoat time for Johnstone's Trade Gloss?
It will vary based on the product you buy, but most of the solvent-based paints take between 16-24 hours before you can apply a new coat. If you're using a water-based gloss, you'd be looking at anywhere between 4-8 hours recoat time.
What colours do Johnstone's Trade Gloss Paints come in?
You'll see products listed as black or brilliant white. Any products you see on this page with a colour wheel are Johnstone’s Gloss products we can premix to any colour within the Johnstone’s range you like, although please note that any paint mixed to order cannot be refunded or exchanged.
Is Johnstone's Trade Gloss oil or water-based?
You can choose from either an oil or water-based paint. Most of the range is oil-based, so you would expect a slightly longer drying time & for the paint to be cleaned off brushes with some white spirit after you're done.
If you're looking for a water-based trade gloss, keep an eye out for any products that are "Johnstone's Aqua" as these are water-based glosses.
