Jotun Jotashield Colourlast Matt, 4L 1860, Used for Strong Urban Grey Facades

It provides a matte finish, which creates a non-shiny, contemporary look and helps hide minor wall imperfections. The matte finish is typically less reflective and can feel softer to the touch, giving a clean, modern appearance.

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are clean, dry, and stable. Avoid exterior surfaces and areas with high moisture without a moisture-rated product.

Start with a clean surface: remove dirt, grease, and dust. Repair cracks or holes, sand gloss surfaces to dull the finish, and remove debris. If painting bare plaster or new masonry, prime as recommended. Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting.

Use a high-quality synthetic brush for edges, and a roller for larger areas. Apply in a W-pattern to distribute the paint evenly and avoid streaks. Start with a cutting-in pass at the edges, then roll in sections for consistent coverage. Two coats are typically recommended for best color and durability.

Drying times depend on temperature and humidity, but typically you can recoat after about 2–4 hours under normal conditions. The paint will continue to cure over several days; ensure the surface is unaffected by moisture during this time.

Colorlast Matt is water-based and designed to be low in odor with low VOC content. It cleans up with water and soap before it dries. Ensure good ventilation during application and keep the product away from children and pets during setup and drying.

The Colorlast line is formulated to resist fading and staining better than standard matt finishes. It offers reasonable washability for everyday dirt and marks; avoid aggressive scrubbing to maintain the matt appearance and color integrity.

Yes, Colorlast Matt can be tinted within Jotun’s color system to a range of colors. Tinting is typically done at the point of purchase by qualified staff to ensure color accuracy and performance.

Coverage varies with surface porosity and texture, but matte interior paints like Colorlast Matt generally cover a broad area per litre per coat. Use a room’s surface area calculation (walls and ceiling) and factor in two coats plus a little extra for touch-ups when deciding how many litres to buy.

Colorlast Matt is designed for interior walls but is not specifically a moisture- or humidity-rated product. For high-humidity areas, consider a moisture-resistant or bathroom-rated paint designed for such conditions to ensure longevity and performance.
