Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in 'Lime Light' is for homeowners and decorators seeking a vibrant, durable, and easy-to-use paint for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a scrubbable, ultra-matte finish that minimizes prep work due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that while suitable for many surfaces, it's best avoided in very wet shower/bath areas.

FAQs

Is Frenchic Wall Paint suitable for bathrooms?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but it is not recommended for use in very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds where constant moisture is present.

How many coats of Frenchic Wall Paint should I use?

We recommend two coats for optimal depth of colour and a more durable finish. The first coat acts as a base, and the second ensures full coverage and vibrancy.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is ideal for interior walls and ceilings. It can also be used on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles.

Does this paint require a primer?

No, this paint is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer coat on most suitable surfaces, saving you time and effort.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 2.5l tin can cover up to 35m² with a single coat. With the recommended two coats, you can expect to cover approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

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

What is the finish of the Frenchic Wall Paint?

It has an ultra-matte finish, offering a sophisticated and non-reflective look.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any dust, grease, or loose paint. For problematic surfaces, a suitable primer may still be beneficial.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint with consistent strokes. For walls, a roller may provide a more uniform finish. Ensure adequate lighting to see where paint has been applied. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Scrubbing damages the paint finish

Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully (typically 7 days). Use only a damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning and avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Colour appears different from the tin

Colour can vary depending on the surface, lighting conditions, and the number of coats applied. Ensure two coats have been applied for true colour depth. Test a small area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves time and effort with self-priming and self-sealing properties.

  • Low VOCs and minimal odour contribute to a healthier indoor environment.

Cons

  • Not recommended for use in very wet areas like shower cubicles or bath surrounds.
