Product Information
Full details
The Frenchic Wall Paint in Green is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-apply interior paint with an ultra-matte finish. Its key benefit is the time-saving self-priming and self-sealing properties, coupled with exceptional scrubbability. A potential caveat is that the ultra-matte finish may show brush marks if not applied carefully, and it's not recommended for very wet areas.

FAQs
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish.
How do I clean the painted surface?

What is the finish like?
The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is a sophisticated, non-reflective surface.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Remove any dust, grease, or loose paint. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be necessary before application.
Visible brush strokes or roller marks
Apply paint evenly in thin, consistent coats. Work in one direction and maintain a wet edge to avoid overlaps. Consider using a high-quality brush or roller designed for matte finishes. Ensure paint is adequately stirred.
Colour looks different when dry
The ultra-matte finish can sometimes make colours appear slightly darker or greyer when dry compared to when wet. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure sufficient light is available during application.
Paint appears streaky after cleaning
Ensure the paint has fully cured (7-14 days). Use a soft cloth with mild detergent and water, and avoid excessive scrubbing. Rinse the area with clean water after cleaning.
