Description

Product Overview

The Johnstone's Matt Tester 75ml is a handy paint sample pot designed for testing colour and matt finish before you commit to a full tin. It is ideal for creating small test patches and checking how a shade looks in different lighting. A simple, low-cost way to avoid colour mismatch and wasted paint.

Key Features

  • 75ml tester size – perfect for small test areas so you can confirm the colour before buying larger quantities.
  • Matt finish – helps you preview the final low-sheen look, ideal for reducing glare and creating a soft, modern feel.
  • Great for touch ups – suitable for quick, small repairs on previously painted surfaces where you need a neat finish.
  • Easy colour checking – test in multiple spots to see how daylight, evening lighting and room orientation affect the shade.

Use Case / Application

Suitable for interior decorating projects where you want to check colour accuracy and finish prior to painting full walls or ceilings. Common uses include:

  • Testing shades in a living room to see how colour changes through the day
  • Choosing a calm tone for a bedroom and confirming it works with soft lighting
  • Trying a neutral in a hallway to ensure it suits adjoining rooms
  • Small touch-up jobs on interior walls where a matt finish is preferred

Problem → Solution

Ideal for avoiding costly decorating mistakes by letting you test the true colour and matt finish on your own walls before you buy a full-size tin.

Reviews

Buying guide: Paint

Paint decorates and protects walls, ceilings, woodwork and metal. This category covers water-based emulsions for interior walls and ceilings, undercoats and multi-surface paints for wood and metal, and smaller kits for repair and touch-up work.

Choosing a finish

Sheen is the main choice, and it is a balance between hiding flaws and ease of cleaning.

  • Matt: little or no shine, so it hides small marks and uneven patches on walls and ceilings, but it does not stand up as well to repeated wiping.
  • Eggshell and silk: a low to moderate sheen that is more durable and easier to wipe clean than matt, which suits kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and busy rooms, but shows flaws in the surface more.
  • Gloss: a high shine that is tough and easy to clean, used on woodwork, doors and trim. It shows every imperfection, so preparation matters.

Reading the tin

Before you start, check the label for the surfaces the paint suits, whether it is for interior or exterior use, the coverage per litre, the drying and recoat times, and whether a primer or undercoat is needed first. Work out the area to be painted and the number of coats, then divide by the coverage to estimate how much you need.

Old paint and safety

Wood and metal painted before the 1960s may carry lead paint, and small amounts stayed in decorative paints until the early 1980s. If you suspect lead, do not dry sand it, burn it off or use a blowlamp; keep any debris wet, or leave sound paint in place and paint over it. For all paints, follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety data.

For brushes, rollers and masking, see decorating tools and sundries; for exterior timber, see wood care.
