Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Trim Paint in Blue is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior furniture, woodwork, and trim with a durable, soft-satin finish. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation requiring no primer or top coat, simplifying the painting process. A potential caveat is that coverage estimates are based on single coats, with two recommended for maximum durability, which will reduce the area covered per tin.

FAQs
Do I really need a primer or top coat?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most surfaces and it doesn't require a separate top coat for durability.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It's suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, radiators, metal, and various furniture items including wood and laminate. It's also certified safe for children's toys.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin will cover up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, which will cover approximately 3.5m².
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
This paint is specifically designed for interior use only.
What is the finish like?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen.
How do I prepare the surface before painting?
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease. Lightly abrading very glossy surfaces can help with adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax, grease, or silicone. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush and try to maintain a wet edge. Ensure paint is well stirred. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Color appears different than expected
The final color can be influenced by the base surface color. Apply a second coat to deepen the color. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Paint is too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If it remains very thick, a very small amount of water (e.g., 10%) can be added, though this is rarely necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. Lightly abrading glossy surfaces can improve adhesion, though it is not always necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, and doors. It can also be used on powder-coated radiators, metal surfaces, and a wide variety of furniture, including wood and laminate items. It is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for children's toys.
Care: For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each. Drying times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity. Once dry, the finish is robust and scuff-resistant. Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. To maintain the finish, clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth.
