Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in Rosy Dusk is ideal for homeowners seeking a gentle, calming, and washable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is its suitability for very wet areas, which should be avoided. This paint offers excellent coverage, is water-based with low VOCs, and is safe for use on children's toys.

What surfaces can Frenchic Wall Paint be used on?

It is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. It is also suitable for wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior wooden floors. Avoid very wet areas like showers.

Do I need to use a primer or top coat?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer or topcoat products.

How durable is the finish?

The paint has a highly durable, scrubbable finish that achieves an ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating once fully cured, making it easy to clean.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For a deeper colour and more durable finish, two coats are recommended, providing coverage of approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint suitable for children's rooms?

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

What are the environmental benefits of this paint?

It is water-based, contains low VOCs, and has virtually no odour, making it a more environmentally conscious and pleasant choice for indoor use.

Can I match this wall paint to woodwork?

Yes, Frenchic offers a matching soft-sheen Trim Paint range in the same colours, allowing you to coordinate walls with skirting boards, doors, and frames.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of dust, grease, or previous loose paint before application. Avoid painting over very damp surfaces.

Uneven colour or brush marks are visible.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint using consistent brush strokes, working in sections. Ensure the recommended number of coats (usually two) are applied for even colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint appears too thick or difficult to spread.

Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. If still too thick for your preference, a very small amount of water (less than 5% of the paint volume) can be added, stirring well. Ensure application tools are appropriate.

Surface remains sticky after painting.

This can occur if the paint is applied too thickly or if drying conditions are poor (cold or humid). Ensure thin, even coats are applied and allow adequate drying time in a well-ventilated area. The paint will fully cure over several days.
