Full details
This Frenchic Trim Paint in White is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior woodwork, furniture, and cabinetry with a cool, understated finish. Its key benefit lies in its all-in-one formulation, simplifying the painting process by eliminating the need for separate primers and top coats, resulting in a durable, scuff-resistant surface. A potential caveat is that achieving the most durable finish may require two coats, impacting coverage for larger projects.

FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.
Does this paint require a top coat?
No, this paint is also self-sealing and does not require a top coat. It provides a durable, scuff-resistant finish on its own.
What is the coverage of 500ml of Frenchic Trim Paint?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, reducing the effective coverage to approximately 3.5m².
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
This paint is specifically designed for interior use only. It is not recommended for exterior applications.
Can I use this paint on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for use on powder-coated radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean and dry before application.
How do I clean my painted surface?
Once fully cured, clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does 'slate-grey infused off-white' mean for the colour 'White'?
This description suggests the 'White' colour has subtle cool, grey undertones, creating a softer, more muted shade than a stark, bright white. It aims for a tranquil atmosphere.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and wipe away dust. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Brush marks are visible
Use a high-quality brush and apply paint with light, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a smooth application technique.
Paint finish seems uneven
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Ensure consistent application of paint, and consider applying a second coat once the first is dry.
Slow drying time
Ensure application is done in a well-ventilated area at moderate temperatures. Very high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound and well-adhered. While self-priming, optimal adhesion is achieved on properly prepared surfaces.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best durability and coverage. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 1-2 hours. The paint is water-based, so clean brushes and rollers with soap and water immediately after use.
Compatibility:
Suitable for interior wood, laminate, metal, and previously painted surfaces. It can be used on furniture, including kitchen cupboards, as well as interior woodwork like trims, skirting boards, and doors. It is also suitable for powder-coated radiators.
Care:
Once fully cured (allow 7 days), the finish is robust and scuff-resistant. Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
