FAQs

What is the coverage of Frenchic Eye Candy Wall Paint?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal depth of colour and durability, two coats are recommended, providing coverage of approximately 17.5m² per 2.5l tin.

Do I need to prime the walls before using this paint?

No, Frenchic Eye Candy Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

It is suitable for kitchen walls and ceilings. However, it is recommended to avoid very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint has an ultra-matte finish, which is a sophisticated, non-reflective, and modern look.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on surfaces that children may come into contact with.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for wooden furniture, interior woodwork, and kitchen cupboards, among other surfaces.

What is the drying time?

Recoat time is typically 1-2 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Full curing takes approximately 7-14 days, during which the paint becomes fully scrubbable.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering well in one coat.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that paint is applied evenly. Apply a second coat as recommended for best results and depth of colour.

Visible brush strokes or roller marks.

Maintain a wet edge throughout application. Apply thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matte paints. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint seems too thick.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary and only if recommended by the manufacturer for specific conditions, a very small amount of water may be added, but this can affect coverage and durability. Avoid over-thinning.

Surface still feels tacky after drying.

Ensure the room has adequate ventilation and that the temperature is within the recommended range. Drying times can be extended in cold or humid conditions. Avoid applying subsequent coats too soon.
