Johnstone's Quick Dry Gloss

This paint is absolutely gorgeous, brilliant, amazing Dried quickly and smoothly Brilliant white gloss Would definitely recommend to everyone this is the best and should I ever have the need too "then I would definitely buy this same product again" Thanks Johnstone Your the best

I got this to touch up skirting boards - amazing coverage, the colour was perfect. The application was amazing, very durable. The odor wasn’t that bad, and aired out lovely. Would definitely recommend, I got this on sale so was an amazing price!

Like this paint as it drys quickly and has no smell, it’s a little on the runny side so unfortunately you need more than one coat

I bought Johnstone’s Gloss Paint thinking I’d “freshen up the woodwork.” Three hours later, I was standing in the hallway staring at a doorframe so shiny I could see my entire life’s decisions reflected in it. This stuff doesn’t just cover — it announces itself. One coat in and my skirting boards went from “tired landlord beige” to “brand new show home that nobody is allowed to touch.” I accidentally leaned on the wall while it was drying and briefly considered just leaving my sleeve there as a permanent feature because, frankly, it bonded better than some DIY I’ve done in the past. Application was smooth, no drama. It glides on like it knows what it’s doing (unlike me, who had to Google what a dust sheet was halfway through). The finish levels out beautifully — no weird streaks, no sulking patches — just a solid, confident gloss that says, “Yes, this was intentional.” Also, fair warning: once you’ve used it, everything else in the room will look shabby out of spite. I now have to repaint the rest of the house because the doorframe has set unrealistic standards. Durable, great coverage, proper classic gloss finish, and it’s still looking sharp after the usual daily abuse of keys, shoes, and questionable DIY enthusiasm. Would recommend. Just be prepared for your woodwork to outshine your personality.

Ov just used this gloss, it goes on really smoothly, no smell at all great quality, and the colour is lovely and bright

Retired professional house painter reviewing this. It's ok but not that great. The key to getting good results is all in the amount of prep work you do. Sanding, filling and undercoating well will give great results if the paint is good enough. In this age of acrylic and low odour, it's hard to get a good finish with out having multiple coats (unless it's white on white) as it just does not give the same level of finish as oil based paints. I very rarely had to do 2 coats of gloss as oil based doesn't have as good opacity as the undercoat (Dulux was the best) was really opaque. This Johnstone's gloss is thick as yoghurt and you have to push it rather than paint with it. You can't work it too much as you get streaking very easily. I really don't like no-drip gloss as I was trained to use the real stuff and you could achieve a very high level of shine from it and no runs if you know how to apply it. It has very low odour, dries quickly and is ok at this price point (which is really good)

Brilliant paint. Low odour. Dried in 2 hours. Covered with one coat & a good shine. One of the best paints I've ever bought. Can't reccomend enough.

Very good coverage, nice finish
