For a shinier finish, try using Johnstone’s Trade Aqua Water Based Gloss or Johnstone’s Trade Professional Gloss. Johnstone’s Aqua satin and gloss will start to yellow and discolour over time, especially in low light conditions. I noticed when it was raining one day that the paint was blistering in spots some came off and some just stayed put.

For the best results, we recommend using the Aqua Guard Paint with Johnstone's Trade Aqua Water Based Undercoat - Colour Match. If painting over bare wood, prime surface with Johnstone’s Trade Aqua Water Based Undercoat, whilst if painting over any other bare surfaces use the appropriate Johnstone’s Trade primer. As a well-established and trusted brand in the painting and decorating industry, Johnstones Trade offers a wide range of professional-grade paints, including the Aqua Water Based Satin.

I really like the products, but there is a nack to using them, which I’ll explain later in my review. 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.

All you need to do is keep a small bucket of water handy on a job and give your brush a little swill out every now and again, simple! This is pointless and by adding water to the product you speed up the drying process, which makes it difficult to apply. The normal procedure would be one coat of undercoat followed by two topcoats, whether going over previously painted or pre-primed. Clean Spirit is designed to clean hybrid paints so that is your best option, but virosol will also work. Elevate your painting projects with the Johnstones Trade Aqua Water Based Satin, available at PaintWell, your reliable source for high-quality trade paints.

Which means you need to have a lot of clean spirit in, to properly clean the brush at the end of every day.

A water-based paint is not as durable, opacity isn’t as good meaning extra coats are needed, it is harder to control when applying and you normally encounter brush marks. Not just that, but the Aqua satin and gloss always sits nicely on top of the undercoat to give a better finish.
