Full details
This Frenchic Paint in French Shutter Trim (Green) is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for a durable, low-odor, and easy-to-use chalk and mineral paint for interior projects. Its key benefit is the simplified preparation and finishing process, requiring no primer or top coat, and offering a robust, scuff-resistant finish. A potential caveat is the coverage, where two coats are recommended for durability, effectively halving the initial coverage estimate per tin.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of dust, grease, or old, flaky paint. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand may improve adhesion.
Streaky or uneven finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats, using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.
Paint is too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may slightly affect the sheen and durability. It is generally recommended to use as is.
Slow drying time
Ensure application is done in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. High humidity or cold temperatures can slow drying.
