FAQs
Do I need a primer or topcoat with this paint?
No, Frenchic Chateau Chic Trim Paint is formulated as a 'two-in-one' product, meaning it is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and topcoat layers.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and various furniture types including wood and laminate. It is also safe for children's toys.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.
How should I clean my painted surfaces?
You can clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping dry.
What is the sheen level of this paint?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen.
Is the paint safe for children's items?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean and free from dust, grease, or wax before application. Lightly abrading very glossy surfaces can also improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before use. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. For very porous surfaces, consider a very thin first coat if issues persist.
Slow drying time
Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure the application area has adequate ventilation and is within the recommended temperature range (typically 10-25°C).
Paint appears too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for your application method, a very small amount of water can be added (check manufacturer's recommendation, typically no more than 5-10%).
