FAQs
Do I really need a primer and top coat?
No, Frenchic Vintage Rosie Trim Paint is formulated as an 'all-in-one' product. It functions as both a primer and a top coat, simplifying the painting process.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect to cover approximately 3.5m² per tin.
Is this paint suitable for kitchen cupboards?
Yes, it is suitable for various furniture, including kitchen cupboards, and offers a robust, scuff-resistant finish for interior use.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only. It is not suitable for exterior applications.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch dry in approximately 30 minutes, recoatable after 1-2 hours. The finish becomes fully durable and develops its sheen over about 14 days.
Is it safe for children's furniture?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
What colours can I pair with Vintage Rosie?
It pairs well with whites or off-whites. For a more dramatic effect, try it with deep greys, blues, or gold accents.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, add a tiny amount of water (1-2% by volume) and mix well. Avoid adding too much water, as this can affect the finish and durability.
Uneven colour or streaking after application.
Ensure even brush strokes and consistent paint application. Apply in thin, even coats. Check for adequate lighting to spot inconsistencies. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or wax. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be required before painting to create a 'key'.
Finish seems duller than expected.
The paint develops its soft-satin sheen as it cures over approximately 14 days. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for full opacity and sheen development. Ensure the paint was well-stirred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. A light sanding may be beneficial on very glossy surfaces to improve adhesion, though it's not always strictly necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is recommended for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, radiators (powder-coated), metal, and various furniture types (wood and laminate). It is not suitable for exterior use or areas with prolonged high moisture.
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water. The finish becomes fully durable after approximately 14 days, so treat it gently during this curing period. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
