No, Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is self-priming, meaning you typically do not need a separate primer. Just ensure your surface is clean and dry.

How much area does a 750ml tin of Whitey White cover?

Can I use this paint on kitchen cupboards?

Is this paint safe for children's furniture or toys?
Yes, Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and nursery furniture.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
It provides a durable, smooth matte finish.
How many coats are recommended for the best result?
Two coats are generally recommended to achieve the best durability and full, even color coverage.
What should I do if I'm using more than one tin for a project?
If you are using multiple tins, it's crucial to intermix them in a larger container before you start painting to ensure a consistent color and finish across your entire project.
Troubleshooting
The paint isn't adhering well or is patchy.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before painting. Any residual dirt, grease, or wax will prevent proper adhesion. A light scuff-sand can also help on very smooth or glossy surfaces.
The finish looks uneven or streaky.
Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Avoid applying too much paint at once. Allow adequate drying time between coats. For best results, use a high-quality brush or roller designed for furniture paint.
There's a slight color difference between tins of paint.
Always intermix all tins of paint for a single project into a larger container before starting. This ensures a consistent color across your entire piece. This is particularly important for larger surfaces like kitchen cupboards.
The paint is drying too quickly, making it hard to work with.
In warm or dry environments, consider working in smaller sections. You can also slightly dampen your brush or roller with water, but do not add water directly to the paint tin unless specified by the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is straightforward:
- Clean Surface: Begin by thoroughly cleaning your furniture or surface. Use a degreaser for kitchen items and ensure all dust, dirt, and loose particles are removed. Allow the surface to dry completely.
- Light Sanding (Optional but Recommended for Glossy/Waxy): For very shiny, glossy, or previously waxed surfaces, a light scuff-sand can improve adhesion, though the paint is self-priming.
- Stir Well: Open the tin and stir the paint thoroughly with a stir stick until it has a consistent texture and color.
- Protect Your Area: Lay down dust sheets or newspaper to protect surrounding surfaces from paint drips.
Compatibility
Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is highly versatile for interior use:
- Surfaces: Wood, laminate, previously painted or varnished furniture, kitchen cupboards, built-in furniture, interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, and doors.
- Safety: Certified EN71-3, making it safe for children's toys and nursery furniture.
- Finish: Designed for a durable, matte finish.
Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your painted items:
- Curing Time: While touch dry quickly, allow the paint to fully cure for several weeks (Info needed: [Specific full cure time]) before subjecting it to heavy use or scrubbing. This ensures maximum durability.
- Cleaning: Once cured, painted surfaces can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte finish.
- Storage: Store the paint tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying out.
