Full details
This Frenchic Gorgeous Grey wall paint is for DIY decorators and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, easy-to-use, and durable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a self-priming, self-sealing, and scrubbable ultra-matte finish in a unique dusky purple-grey hue that offers excellent coverage and minimal odour. A potential caveat is that two coats are recommended for optimal depth and durability, affecting the overall coverage calculation.

How much area does a 2.5L tin cover?

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective look.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
What is the drying time?
While specific drying times can vary with humidity and temperature, it's generally touch-dry within a couple of hours and ready for a second coat after a few hours. Full curing takes several days.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush strokes visible
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats. Work in manageable sections and maintain a wet edge. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.
Paint not adhering well
Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free from contaminants like dust, grease, or old flaking paint. Ensure no incompatible treatments (like waxes) are on the surface.
Colour appears lighter than expected
The desired depth of colour and durability is achieved with two coats. Ensure the second coat has been applied.
Difficult to clean marks
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days before attempting deep cleaning. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
