Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, low-VOC paint for interior walls and ceilings. Frenchic Bandido Wall Paint offers an ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that minimizes prep work due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that the ultra-matte finish may show brushstrokes if not applied carefully, and its deep colours might require more coats for full opacity.

FAQs

Do I need a primer with Frenchic Bandido Wall Paint?

No, Frenchic Bandido Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can typically apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

While one coat may provide coverage, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth, durability, and a uniform finish.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It's suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, woodwork, floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, radiators, uPVC, and ceramic tiles (excluding very wet areas).

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in their living spaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured (7-14 days), the paint is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or a mild soapy water solution for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials.

What is the coverage of a 2.5l tin?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For the recommended two coats, expect coverage of approximately 17.5m².

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

It is recommended for walls and ceilings in general interior spaces. It is advised to avoid very wet areas like shower cubicles or bath surrounds, where moisture can be constant.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. The previous surface may have been too glossy, requiring light sanding or a specialist primer.

Uneven colour or patchiness after application.

This can occur with ultra-matte finishes if applied too thinly or if coats are not applied evenly. Ensure thorough stirring and apply in consistent strokes. Additional thin coats may be required.

Brush marks or roller texture are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for smooth finishes. Apply paint with consistent pressure and direction. Allow the paint to cure fully; minor marks may become less noticeable.

Paint seems difficult to clean.

Ensure the paint has been fully cured for at least 7-14 days. Freshly applied paint is not yet at its maximum scrubbable resistance. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces prep time with self-priming and self-sealing capabilities.
Extremely durable and easy to clean, ideal for high-traffic areas and homes with children or pets.
Low VOC and virtually no odour make it a healthier choice for interior spaces.
Offers a luxurious ultra-matte finish that complements modern decor.
Award-winning quality assures a high-performing product.
Wide range of applications beyond walls and ceilings.

Cons

Ultra-matte finishes can sometimes highlight imperfections if the surface is not properly prepared.
Deep colours may require more than two coats for complete opacity, especially over dark or contrasting previous colours.
Scrubbability is best once fully cured, meaning fresh marks might be harder to remove immediately.
Can be more expensive than standard emulsion paints.
Matching exact shades in different finishes (e.g., trim paint) might require careful selection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For most surfaces, no primer is required. If painting over glossy or problematic surfaces, a light sanding or a specific primer might be beneficial for optimal adhesion.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. For walls and ceilings, two coats are generally recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid use in very wet areas such as shower cubicles or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured (typically after 7-14 days), the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean spills and marks gently with a damp cloth or a soft sponge and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the finish.
