Clean Spirit is designed to clean hybrid paints so that is your best option, but virosol will also work. These colours are only intended as a guide and it is your own responsibility to ensure you have picked the correct colour. Before application of Johnstone's Trade Aqua Guard Satin - Colour Match all surfaces should be clean, dry and free from any flaking and loose material.

For best results, apply a coat of Johnstone's Trade Aqua Water Based Undercoat to a clean, dry surface before applying two coats of Aqua Water Based Satin using a brush, roller or spray. Clean what paint you can from the brush using clean or soapy water, then use one of the three products I’ve just mentioned to finish the job off, dead easy! Apply one full coat of Johnstone's Trade Aqua Undercoat to all correctly prepared and primed surfaces before application of Johnstone's Trade Aqua Satin. An oil-based paint will yellow over time, clean-up is horrendous, there is a long wait in-between coats and they’re not very good for the environment.I really like the products, but there is a nack to using them, which I’ll explain later in my review. It’s a lot easier to use, doesn’t kill your paintbrushes, will never discolour, and leaves a gorgeous finish.

I already use water based paint only inside, but have been dubious as to the claims made by the paint manufacturers regarding using water based paint outside. I used Johnsons Aqua on 3 different jobs now, one has been on a million pound property, also my own. Which means you need to have a lot of clean spirit in, to properly clean the brush at the end of every day. Available in thousands of colours here, it covers around 10-12 square metres per litre, depending on the nature and porosity of the painted surface, and will be recoatable in normal conditions in under six hours. It has a satin finish which looks and feels like a traditional satin finish but has a low odour and is quick drying.

Any previously painted surfaces should be wiped down with a fine waterproof abrasive paper and then rinsed thoroughly. The amount of times I have heard a decorator labelling Johnstone’s Aqua satin and gloss as a “brush killer” is unreal. As a result of this, Johnstone’s Trade Aqua Satin is a water-based paint which is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces, including Iron / Steel, Planed timber, Softwood, Timber, Window frames and many different types of wood too. This isn’t down to the paint being poor quality, but more to do with the decorator not knowing how to apply the product correctly.

Very disappointed as it was a lit of picket fence and even some was new or we sanded it back to the bare timber .
