Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Wall Paint in Liquorice is for DIYers and homeowners seeking a dramatic, warm, and deep brown finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, acting as a primer, paint, and topcoat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is its ultra-matte finish, which may show marks more readily if not properly cared for, though it is scrubbable once cured.

FAQs
Do I really need a primer or topcoat?
No, this paint is formulated as a self-priming and self-sealing product, meaning you can typically apply it directly to most prepared interior surfaces without the need for additional primer or topcoat layers.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully scrubbable?
The paint achieves its full scrubbable rating (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub) once it has fully cured. This typically takes around 7-14 days after application, though the surface is usually dry to touch much sooner. Refer to the product's packaging for specific curing times.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but it is not recommended for very wet areas such as shower enclosures or directly around bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish and moisture resistance limitations in constant high-humidity environments.
What is the coverage rate?
A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. For a deeper colour and more durable finish, two coats are recommended, which will cover approximately 17.5m².
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, which means it is safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms. It is also water-based with low VOCs and virtually no odour.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the surface is completely scrubbable. You can clean it using a damp cloth or a soft sponge with a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
What kind of finish does 'Liquorice' have?
The 'Liquorice' colour has an ultra-matte finish, providing a sophisticated, non-reflective appearance.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is well-stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller, working in consistent strokes. Check for excessive dryness of the surface before application.
Surface still shows imperfections after painting.
While self-priming, very dark or problematic surfaces might benefit from an additional coat or a dedicated primer if significant bleed-through occurs. Ensure the initial surface preparation was thorough.
Paint is not adhering well.
Verify the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or wax. For non-porous surfaces like certain plastics or previously painted glossy finishes, a light sanding may be necessary for better adhesion, though this product is designed to adhere directly.
Matte finish seems to be 'sheening' when wiped.
This can occur if too much pressure is applied or if the paint is not fully cured. Use a gentle touch with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow adequate curing time before cleaning.
