FAQs
Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?
No, this paint is formulated to act as a primer, paint, and top coat in one, eliminating the need for separate products.
What surfaces can I use Frenchic Heavenly Blue Trim Paint on?
It is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and various furniture types, including kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture made from wood and laminate.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary. Typically, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours. However, for recoating and full curing (maximum durability), allow longer periods, as specified on the product tin, generally 2-4 hours between coats and up to 21 days for full cure.
What is the coverage rate?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. Two coats are recommended for a more durable finish, covering approximately 3.5m².
Is this paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, meaning it is safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
Can I use this paint for exterior projects?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only.
How do I clean my painted surface?
For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing. Clean brushes and spills immediately with water.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean and free from grease or dust. Very glossy surfaces might benefit from a light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper before application, despite the self-priming nature.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick or sticky
Stir the paint vigorously. If still too thick, very small amounts of water (no more than 5%) can be added, but this may slightly affect the finish or drying time. Ensure the lid was sealed properly and the paint has not dried out.
Scuff marks appearing too easily
A second coat is recommended for optimal durability. Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully (up to 21 days) before subjecting it to heavy wear. Avoid cleaning with abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
