FAQs
What surfaces can Frenchic Wall Paint - Verdigris be used on?
It can be used on interior walls, ceilings, wood (bare, primed, or painted), metal (primed), powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid very wet areas like shower surrounds.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture once it has fully cured.
How do I clean painted surfaces?
The paint is scrubbable. Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap for most cleaning. For tougher marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used. Rinse with clean water.
Do I need to prime before using this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for a separate primer on most suitable surfaces.
How much area does one tin cover?
A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats are recommended, covering approximately 17.5m².
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint has an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and provides a sophisticated, velvety appearance.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
It is suitable for kitchens and bathrooms on walls and ceilings, provided the areas are not constantly exposed to high moisture or water, such as inside a shower cubicle or directly over a bath surround. Its scrubbable nature makes it excellent for splashback areas.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or not covering evenly.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Consider a second coat after the first has dried adequately.
Surface imperfections are highly visible.
Ultra-matte finishes can accentuate uneven surfaces. Lightly sand and re-prepare the surface before painting. Ensure adequate lighting during application to spot and correct issues.
Paint is difficult to clean after curing.
Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 7-14 days before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
Paint is peeling or flaking.
This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application on a non-compatible surface. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and not excessively glossy. For problematic surfaces, consider a dedicated primer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For most surfaces, no primer is required.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions. Full curing takes approximately 7-14 days, after which the paint achieves its maximum scrubbable properties.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood (bare, primed, or painted), metal (primed), powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid use in areas subject to constant water immersion or very high humidity, such as inside shower cubicles or around bath surrounds.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing tools.
