FAQs
Do I really need a primer or topcoat with this paint?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without needing separate primer or topcoat layers.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
It provides a soft-satin sheen, which is a gentle, understated finish that is less reflective than gloss but offers more depth than matte.
Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Is this paint safe for children's toys?
Yes, Frenchic Trim Paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
How much area does one tin of paint cover?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. For the recommended two coats, coverage is approximately 3.5m².
How should I clean my painted surfaces?
Clean painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats, using smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid overloading the brush or roller. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Paint takes too long to dry
Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure you are painting in a well-ventilated area at a suitable room temperature (typically 10-25°C). Avoid applying overly thick coats.
Colour appears different from expected
Colour can vary depending on the surface and lighting conditions. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats for true colour depth.
Pros and Cons

- Durable and resistant to scuffs, ideal for busy homes.
- Low VOCs and low odour make it pleasant to use indoors.
- Excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces.
- Safe for children's items due to EN71-3 certification.
Cons
- Soft-satin finish may not be suitable for those preferring a high-gloss look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. Lightly scuffing glossy surfaces with fine-grit sandpaper can improve adhesion, although it is often not strictly necessary due to the paint's self-priming nature.
Compatibility:
This paint is suitable for a wide array of interior surfaces:
- Interior woodwork (doors, trims, skirting boards, furniture)
- Laminate
- Metal (including powder-coated radiators)
- Previously painted surfaces
It is not recommended for exterior use or for floors.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for optimal durability and colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, but check manufacturer guidelines for specific conditions).
Coverage:
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² per coat. For the recommended two coats, expect coverage of approximately 3.5m² per tin.
Care:
Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which could damage the finish.
