Johnstone'sOne Coat Matt Emulsion Paint - Moonlit Sky 2.5L

Easy to use, one coat is enough and lovely shade of blue

I usually get those big 10l tubs by another well known brand that begins with "D" , and even over manky white walls that paint usually required 2 coats.THIS stuff, while more expensive, is better quality. Nice and thick and indeed it did only take one coat on walls that used to be white but had gone more of a cream shade due to age and nicotine stains. I reckon it's worth paying the extra for this stuff and will buy it again.

Just on my third coat and almost finished the whole tin.. on an average size downstairs toilet room.. only painted over a very light blue but definitely not "one coat"

Up until now and for years I have been unable to decorate as paint fumes would put me in bed for two days with ill effects. Lockdown fever got the better of me and I have decorated a whole room with no problem. This paint is basically odour free! I am delighted with it. Colour is slightly darker than I thought but looks good. Two coats covered original colour. Will always buy this brand from now on. Packaging safe and secure, well worked out.

Overall the paint is great quality for the price, almost entirely smell free which is great for those with breathing difficulties.Pros:Almost zero smell!Excellent colorQuality and rolls with ease (with decent tools)Well packagedCons:Not one coat (unless you're painting to a freshly plastered wall) painting over any colour will require two coats minimum.Has a semi-chalk feel to it which if painted onto paper gives the paper a little rough feel.Overall 4/5 does the job if you use decent tools and give it two solid coats (always buy 2 cans as one is never enough and if it is you'll easily return the second can unopened)

Bought this product after much research to find a one coat paint that covered old walls ( wallpaper had been on for 25 years!).After filling what looked like machine gunned walls (Once paper was stripped off) and a bit of sanding used this paint and was really pleased with the results. It covered extremely well and you can’t even notice the sanding/filling of where the holes where. And one coat was enough. Also this is the cheapest I have seen this product on the market. Would definitely buy again fir other rooms. Used Rose Pink for kids room.

This paint is pretty bad. It's only getting two stars for the service and delivery which was very fast and it was very well packaged. The paint itself doesn't do as it says, it is not one coat!! I was painting over a pale cream colour and it clearly needed another coat. So I had to buy another tin, different price so I've currently spent £40 on this paint and after a second coat it's still patchy!! I'm not going to buy a whole extra tin of this as it's getting ridiculous. I wish I'd bought a cheaper one that probably would have needed more coats but I would at least have been expecting that! OR spent the now extra money on a much more expensive brand. With having to wait for more paint to arrive it's all taking a lot longer than I expected when I ordered a tin of something I thought would be one coat and done. So my advice is to buy a much better quality paint if you can afford it, otherwise a higher volume of non 'one coat' paint that costs less.

Paint good for my purpose really does cover in one coat but harder to use so takes longer but not not as long as having to wait for drying in order to to do a second coat. Overall worth it. I ordered 2 tins of this paint. However one tin had been opened when I received it and on opening there was about half an inch missing I decided to use it as during this Covid 19 crisis seemed a little petty ans pretty much impossible to return it. I've only used 1 lyrics so far but am concerned I was unable to secure the lid tightly and it may not be good enough when I need it next
