FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior walls/ceilings in kitchens. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its matte finish.

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but full cure, especially for maximum scrubbability, can take up to 21 days. Avoid heavy cleaning during this period.

Can I use this paint on metal radiators?

Yes, the paint is suitable for powder-coated radiators and other metal surfaces, provided they are clean and free from rust or grease.

What is the coverage rate of Frenchic Hottie Wall Paint?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, which covers approximately 17.5m².

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

No, Frenchic Hottie Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning no separate primer coat is required for most surfaces.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, the paint is certified EN71-3, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms. It also has low VOCs and virtually no odour.

Can I achieve the same colour in a different finish?

Yes, Frenchic offers a matching soft-satin Trim Paint range, allowing you to coordinate walls with skirting boards, doors, and frames in the same or complementary colours.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering well.

Ensure at least two thin coats are applied. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Check if the surface was properly prepared and is not overly porous.

Brush strokes or roller marks are visible.

Apply paint in thin, even coats using a high-quality brush or roller. Work in consistent directions and avoid overworking the paint. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Paint is not adhering properly or peeling.

The surface may not have been adequately cleaned or prepared. Ensure the surface is free from dust, grease, or wax. For very slick surfaces, a light sanding may be necessary before painting.

Colour appears different than expected.

Colour can vary depending on lighting conditions, surface texture, and the number of coats applied. Ensure two coats have been applied for true colour depth. Test a small area first if colour accuracy is critical.

  • Ultra-matte finish can show brush strokes more readily if not applied carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: For most surfaces, minimal preparation is needed due to the paint's self-priming and self-sealing properties. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Application: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results and optimal colour depth, apply two thin coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also ideal for wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid use in areas with constant high humidity or direct water contact, such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured, the paint is highly scrubbable. Clean spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte finish.
