Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic McFee Wall Paint in Orange is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a vibrant, durable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as self-priming and self-sealing, which simplifies preparation and application. A minor caveat is that while suitable for most interior surfaces, it's best avoided in very wet areas like shower surrounds. This washable, breathable, chalk and mineral paint offers excellent coverage with an ultra-matte finish, reducing the need for multiple products.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants. Lightly abrade very glossy surfaces before application.

Streaky or uneven finish

Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking it. Ensure consistent brush strokes or roller application. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Colour appears different than expected

The final colour can be influenced by the underlying surface colour and lighting. Ensure two coats have been applied for true colour depth. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Difficulty cleaning

Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting vigorous cleaning. Use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh abrasives.
