Interior Walls and Ceilings
Covaplus Vinyl Matt is the go-to for large areas and new plaster. It goes on easily, gives dependable coverage and opacity, and keeps contract work moving.
Acrylic Durable Matt is a tougher, scrubbable matt for areas that take a beating, such as hallways, kitchens and communal spaces. It stays true to its matt finish and is available colour matched.
Woodwork and Trim
The Aqua range gives you water-based satin, gloss and undercoat that are low odour and easy to work with, with tools cleaned in water. That makes it a practical choice for occupied homes and fast turnarounds.
Aqua Guard Satin adds surface protection against scuffs and everyday marks on skirting, doors and window frames. Pair it with Aqua Guard Primer Undercoat for a full system from one brand.
Colour Matching
Many Johnstone’s Trade products can be mixed to a colour reference or swatch. In store we mix while you wait, and online we mix to order.

Johnstone’s Trade Paint FAQs
Where can I buy Johnstone’s Trade paint?
You can buy Johnstone’s Trade paint online at Dawes Paints or in person at our Shepherd’s Bush shop, where we also mix colours while you wait.
Can Johnstone’s Trade paint be colour matched?
Yes. Many products in the range are available colour matched. Choose the colour-match option on the product page, or visit us and we’ll mix it while you wait.
What’s the difference between Covaplus Vinyl Matt and Acrylic Durable Matt?
Covaplus Vinyl Matt is a dependable, easy-to-apply emulsion for large walls and ceilings. Acrylic Durable Matt is a more resilient, scrubbable finish for areas that see heavier wear.
Which Johnstone’s paint should I use on new plaster?
Covaplus Vinyl Matt is a common choice. Apply a thinned first coat (a mist coat) in line with the manufacturer’s technical data sheet, then follow with full-strength coats.
