Product Information
Full details
Frenchic Dawlish Wall Paint in Brown is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a rich, earthy, and comforting color for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as a self-priming, self-sealing, washable, and scrubbable paint that simplifies the decorating process. A potential caveat is its ultra-matte finish, which may show imperfections more readily than glossier paints. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers excellent coverage and a durable, easy-to-clean surface, suitable for a variety of interior applications beyond walls and ceilings.

Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?
It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and ceramic wall tiles in kitchens and bathrooms, but it should be avoided in very wet areas like shower bases or bath surrounds.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants before application. Old, flaky paint or wallpaper should be removed. For very porous surfaces, a primer might still be beneficial, although Frenchic is self-priming.
Uneven color or brush marks visible.
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint in consistent, even strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Consider a second coat for a more uniform finish. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for matte finishes.
Difficulty cleaning marks off the surface.
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matte finish.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to spread.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If the paint is still too thick, a very small amount of water (e.g., 10% max) can be added, but this may affect performance. Ensure application is not attempted in extreme temperatures.
