Came in better condition than the one packaged from Amazon, that one was dented, leaked, they even had the nerve to put cling film over it! Argos came up trumps and cheaper too. I've not had chance to use it yet, but will soon.

The primer did the job when painting my dining table. Good consistency and went on nicely. Dries quickly.

I’ve never had issues with Johnstone so was not a concern when choosing an undercoat.

Bought to cover outdoor paint before applying top coat.
Good adherence and nice and thick helped to fill in rough surface.
Dried off quick too, handy to get the job done before the rain came!

I like this paint. Gave a good base for the satin wood paint, which went on a treat.

Got this to go over some skirting boards that, by the looks of the yellowing on them hadn't seen a paint brush since the 90's! After a light sand the paint took to the surface perfectly with no drip and gave a great base for the Johnstone's satin I put on top. Very pleased with the result.

Question from Dale
Location: Derby

Hello Dale,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Johnstone's Quick Dry Primer Undercoat 1.25L Brilliant White: I can tell you that the paint can be used on radiators
However, do not use on copper pipe as they can turn green
Radiators must be turned off until paint is fully dry
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Johnstone's Quick Dry Primer Undercoat 1.25L Brilliant White: ''This primer is formulated for priming wood and masonry surfaces, for priming MDF you would require Johnstone's Specialty ABC Primer.''
