FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Wholly Moley is a self-priming paint, meaning no separate primer coat is required on most surfaces.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior walls/ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or directly around a bath surround due to its breathable nature.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
While one coat offers coverage, two coats are recommended for optimal depth of color and maximum durability.
What is the coverage rate?
A 2.5L tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. Two coats would cover approximately 17.5m².
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
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.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
It has an ultra-matte finish, which is a very flat, non-reflective, chalky appearance.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Remove any grease, dust, or flaking paint. For difficult surfaces like melamine or very glossy finishes, a light sanding may be beneficial, though not strictly required by the product.
Streaky finish
This can occur if the paint is applied too thinly or unevenly. Ensure consistent brush strokes and maintain a 'wet edge' to blend seamlessly. Stir the paint frequently during use.
Color looks different than expected
Color appearance can vary based on lighting conditions and the number of coats applied. Two coats are recommended for the truest color representation. Consider painting a small test area first.
Difficulty cleaning marks
Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 7 days before attempting vigorous cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials.
