Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Pinch Punch Trim Paint in Blue is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to add a bold, teal-toned color to interior woodwork and furniture. Its key benefit lies in its all-in-one formula, requiring no primer or top coat, simplifying the painting process significantly. However, users should be aware that while it offers a soft-satin sheen, achieving the most durable finish typically requires two coats. The paint is water-based, low VOC, and low odor, making it a user-friendly option for various furniture and trim projects, including kitchen cupboards and even children's toys.

FAQs
Do I really need primer and top coat with this paint?
No, this paint is formulated as an all-in-one product, meaning it functions as a self-priming and self-sealing paint. No separate primer or top coat is required for most applications.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It is recommended for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, metal (including radiators), and various types of furniture, including wooden and laminate kitchen cupboards.
How much area does 500ml of paint cover?
A 500ml tin will cover up to 7 square meters with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect to cover approximately 3.5 square meters.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms and toys?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, which means it is safe for use on children's toys.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
It provides a soft-satin sheen.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.
What is the best way to achieve a durable finish?
For the most durable finish, two coats are recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats and let the paint cure fully for several days before exposing it to heavy use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, you can add a tiny amount of water (no more than 5% by volume) and stir well.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller and work with the grain. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. For very glossy or slick surfaces like laminate, a light scuff or a specific de-glossing solution might be necessary, though this paint is designed for minimal prep.
Color appears different from the sample.
Color can vary based on lighting conditions, surface type, and the number of coats applied. Ensure you have applied at least two coats for true color representation.
