FAQs
Do I really need a primer and top coat with this paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is designed as an all-in-one product. It functions as a primer and a sealer, eliminating the need for separate products.
What is the coverage of a 2.5L tin?
A 2.5L tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal results, two coats are recommended, meaning one tin covers approximately 17.5m².
How long does it take for the paint to be fully scrubbable?
The paint achieves its full scrubbable finish once it has fully cured, which typically takes around 7 days. It can be gently cleaned before this, but robust scrubbing should wait.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
It is suitable for bathroom walls and ceilings, but it should be avoided in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or directly around the bath where it would be constantly exposed to moisture.
Is this paint suitable for wooden furniture?
Yes, this paint is suitable for various interior surfaces, including wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior woodwork.
What is the difference between a single coat and two coats?
A single coat will provide coverage, but two coats are recommended to achieve the full depth of the 'Anguilla' color and ensure a more durable, long-lasting finish.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, and it has low VOCs and virtually no odor.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and cleaned before application. Lightly abrade any previously glossy surfaces.
Streaky or uneven finish
Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, maintaining a wet edge. Apply a second coat as recommended.
Color not as expected
Two coats are recommended for full color depth. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and assess color in natural light.
Difficulty cleaning marks
