Full details

FAQs
Is Frenchic Oopsy Daisy paint suitable for bathrooms?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings and can be used on ceramic wall tiles. However, it should be avoided in very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish. For general bathroom walls away from direct water spray, it can be a good option if maintained.
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
The paint is touch-dry in 1-2 hours. However, it requires approximately 7 days to fully cure and reach its maximum durability, including its Class 1 Wet Scrub rating. Avoid heavy cleaning or stress on the painted surface during this curing period.
Can I use this paint on wooden floors?
Yes, Frenchic Oopsy Daisy Wall Paint is suitable for interior wooden floors. Ensure the floor is clean, dry, and properly prepared. For high-traffic wooden floors, applying two coats is highly recommended for enhanced durability.
Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?
No, Frenchic Oopsy Daisy Wall Paint is self-priming. This means it acts as both a primer and a top coat, significantly reducing preparation time.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
A 2.5-liter tin covers up to 35 square meters with a single coat. For best results and optimal durability, two coats are recommended, which will cover approximately 17.5 square meters.
Can I mix Frenchic paints to create custom colors?
While some Frenchic paint ranges may be designed for mixing, it is generally not recommended to mix different paint types or finishes without explicit manufacturer guidance, as it can compromise the paint's performance and properties.
What is the difference between Wall Paint and Trim Paint?
The Wall Paint (like Oopsy Daisy) is formulated for walls and ceilings with an ultra-matte finish. The Trim Paint is designed for woodwork, doors, and radiators, offering a slightly more durable, soft-satin finish that complements the wall colors.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of grease/dust). If the surface was previously glossy, a light sanding might be needed before application. Ensure all previous treatments (like waxes or oils) have been removed.
Uneven color or streaky finish.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Ensure adequate lighting to see where paint has been applied. A second coat can help even out the finish.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to apply.
Stir the paint vigorously. If the environment is very cold, allow the paint to reach room temperature. Avoid adding water unless absolutely necessary and following manufacturer guidelines, as this can affect the finish and durability.
Scrubbing removes the paint finish.
Ensure the paint has fully cured (approximately 7 days). The paint is washable and scrubbable once cured, but excessive force or harsh abrasives on uncured paint can damage the finish.
