FAQs
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming. It is designed to adhere directly to most prepared surfaces without the need for a separate primer.
Can this paint be used on radiators?

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with one coat, and around 17.5m² with two coats.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
You can clean painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and water can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, indicating low toxicity.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
This paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and has a sophisticated, velvety appearance.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Glossy surfaces may require light sanding for better grip.
Uneven finish or brush marks showing
Apply paint with a consistent technique. Use a high-quality brush or roller and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure even pressure and direction.
Coverage seems poor
Ensure the paint is stirred well and applied at the recommended thickness. For very porous surfaces or significant colour changes, a second coat is often necessary.
Paint takes too long to dry
Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area at an appropriate temperature. Avoid applying too thickly, which can slow drying times.
