Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Trim Paint in Orange is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers looking for a vibrant, durable, and easy-to-use paint for interior projects. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, which simplifies preparation and application, offering a robust, scuff-resistant finish with minimal odor. A potential caveat is that while two coats are recommended for maximum durability, this increases the paint consumption for the desired finish.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease, dust, or wax before application. For laminate or very glossy surfaces, a light keying (sanding) might improve adhesion, though this is typically not required.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Using a quality synthetic brush can also help achieve a smoother finish.
Paint is too thick to apply easily.
Thinning is generally not recommended. Ensure paint has not been stored in excessively cold temperatures. If slightly thick, stir vigorously. If still too thick, consider if the ambient temperature is too low, affecting viscosity.
Colour appears different than expected.
Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions and on different base surfaces. Ensure you have applied the recommended two coats for true colour depth. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
