Johnstone’s - Quick Dry & Non Drip Gloss Paint for Wood & Metal - Brilliant White | Interior & Exterior | Low Odour, Water-Based Formula, Dry in 1-2 Hours | 10m2 Coverage per Litre | 750ml

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!

Great paint and really does dry quick, no odour and covers well. You can get away with 2 coats but I did 3 to play it safe. Would buy again.

Arrived without any spills or damage. This paint is fab. Easy to apply and good coverage. Long lasting and no yellowing. Brushes wash and paint tray out easily.

What would you expect from this well known company. Quality fresh colour washable looks clean and fresh.

Really impressed with this paint. I used it on a mix of skirting boards and an old metal radiator, and it went on smoothly on both surfaces. The coverage is excellent — I only needed two coats to get a really clean, brilliant white finish. Because it’s water‑based, there’s barely any smell and the brushes wash out easily, which is a huge bonus. It dries fairly quickly too, so you can get the job done without waiting around for ages between coats. The gloss finish looks fresh and modern without being overly shiny, and it seems to resist yellowing so far. Overall, a high‑quality paint that’s easy to work with and gives a great result. Definitely recommend!

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.

Took a gamble when ordering this as I wasn't sure which paint to get and decided due to a few reviews. Arrived on time and fortunately hadn't spilled or been damaged due to it being in two boxes. The Amazon box was handed to me with the this way up arrow in pointing upwards which was right but when i opened that box the paint was in another box and on it's side as the this way up arrow on the inner box was pointing left. Not too impressed with that. Putting something in a box the right way up isn't rocket science. Anyway...I have painted one door and door frame with the gloss paint and am very impressed with it. It is thin and does drip a lot so do take care and put sheets or paper down etc. It covers well and is incredibly quick drying. It looks excellent once it is dry and looks like it is hard wearing. Am hoping there's going to be enough paint left to do the remaining 6 doors as it hardly used anything to paint the first door. A very good deal considering it's 2.5 litres for £19.00. Will definitely buy again if needed.

Paint a bit "batty" requires 2 coats and it's not as glossy as one would hope, cheap enough though, and it shows.
