FAQs
Do I need a primer or top coat with this paint?
No, the Frenchic Wholly Moley Trim Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need separate primer or top coats for most applications.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, 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?
A 500ml tin will cover up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish requiring two coats, expect coverage of approximately 3.5m².
Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
While it has a scuff-resistant finish, it is best suited for areas with moderate wear. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or very high-traffic kitchen cabinets, consider its suitability based on your specific needs, or test in an inconspicuous area. Its robust finish is generally good for kitchen cupboards.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen, offering a modern and elegant appearance.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is water-based, low in VOCs and odor, and is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in their rooms.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. If the ambient temperature is very cold, allow the paint to come to room temperature before use. Avoid adding water unless absolutely necessary, and only in very small amounts, as this can affect the finish.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure a consistent application technique with your brush or roller. Apply paint in thin, even coats. If using a brush, paint in the same direction. If the issue persists, a very light sanding once dry and a further thin coat may help.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from grease. If painting over a very slick surface, a light keying (sanding) might be required. Ensure the paint has had sufficient time to cure.
Scuff marks appearing too easily
While the paint is scuff-resistant, it requires adequate drying and curing time. Ensure the recommended drying time between coats and the full curing time (which can take several days to weeks) has passed before subjecting the surface to heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. For most applications, no specific primer is needed. If painting over a very glossy or slick surface, a light sanding can improve adhesion. For radiators, ensure they are cool and clean before painting.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and furniture (including wood and laminate). It is *not* intended for exterior use or for areas that will be constantly submerged in water. It is safe for use on children's toys.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for the most durable and opaque finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions (typically a few hours, but check the tin).
Care: Once fully cured, the finish is robust and scuff-resistant. Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which could damage the finish over time.
