JOHNSTONE’S TRADE™, a brand by PPG, has launched Obliterate Matt, a new premium-quality emulsion paint engineered for speed, durability and quality results. Designed for time-pressured professionals, it delivers unrivalled opacity in a single coat to simplify application and reduce time on site, making it ideal for both new-build and redecoration projects.
Created with professional decorators in mind, Johnstone’s Trade Obliterate Matt offers immediate hiding power, helping the trade complete jobs quicker. Its advanced formulation combines outstanding coverage with Class 1 scrub durability, ensuring a tough, long-lasting finish. It is ideal for high-traffic spaces such as stairwells, corridors, and commercial spaces, as well as in a domestic environment. Backed by PPG’s advanced high opacity technology, it provides consistent results across large surfaces, helping decorators cut application time by up to 50% compared to traditional emulsions.
Suitable for brush, roller and even spray application, Johnstone’s Trade Obliterate Matt works on bare plaster and previously painted surfaces, delivering a premium finish and offering flexibility without compromise. It is available in Brilliant White and can be tinted to thousands of colours.
Stephen Davidson, Direct Trade & Specification Director at PPG, said: “We’re always looking for ways to make life easier for decorators, and that’s been the real driving force behind Obliterate Matt. The coverage is outstanding – one coat and you’re done! It means less time spent on each job, fewer products to think about, and more confidence in the finish, which will make a huge difference to decorators’ busy schedules.
“It’s a real game-changer for the trade and we can’t wait to see how it transforms projects.”
Obliterate Matt is water-based and low VOC, aligning with growing demand for sustainable solutions without compromising performance.
Johnstone’s Trade Obliterate Matt is available now from Johnstone’s Decorating Centre, partner stockists nationwide and online. Contact your Johnstone’s Trade representative for samples or demonstrations.
