FAQs

What surfaces can I use Frenchic Regal Rosie on?

It is suitable for wood and laminate furniture, woodwork, radiators, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles, and wood and concrete floors. It can be used both inside and outside.

How much area does a 500ml tin cover?

A 500ml tin provides up to 4m² for a single coat. For a durable finish requiring at least two coats, it will cover approximately 2m² on non-porous surfaces.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.

Do I need a primer or topcoat?

This paint is self-priming and self-sealing. However, for a stronger metallic effect, a base coat of a similar Frenchic Al Fresco or Lazy Range colour is recommended. A topcoat is generally not required due to its durable finish.

How do I clean my painted surface?

Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Can I mix the metallic colours?

Yes, the product information states that the 3 classic metallic colours available can be mixed if desired.

What is the drying time between coats?

While specific times vary with conditions, allow adequate drying time between coats. Consult the product packaging for precise recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. Ensure the correct number of coats have been applied.

Metallic effect appears streaky

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Consider applying a base coat for a more uniform finish.

Paint seems thin or runny

This is a water-based paint. Ensure the lid is securely closed when not in use and store in appropriate conditions. For application, avoid over-thinning if attempting to thin the paint; follow manufacturer advice.

Surface feels tacky after drying

This can occur if applied too thickly or if drying conditions are humid. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and in a well-ventilated area. Allow more time for curing in humid conditions.
