FAQs
Do I really need a primer and topcoat?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer or topcoat for a durable finish.
How much area does 500ml of paint cover?
A 500ml tin will cover approximately 7m² (75 sq ft) with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect to cover about 3.5m² (37.5 sq ft) with two coats.
Can I use this paint on radiators?
Yes, this paint is suitable for use on powder-coated radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean and dry before application.
Is this paint suitable for kitchen cabinets?
Yes, it is suitable for various furniture, including kitchen cupboards, wood, and laminate surfaces. The robust, scuff-resistant finish is ideal for frequently used items.
What is the finish like?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen, offering a subtle elegance rather than a high-gloss look.
How should I clean my painted surfaces?
Once fully cured, surfaces painted with Frenchic Trim Paint can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces. Ensure previous coatings are sound.
Streaky or uneven finish
Apply paint in thinner, more even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.
Drying time is excessive
Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid applying too thickly. Drafts can sometimes speed up surface drying but hinder full cure.
Paint chipping or peeling
This may indicate inadequate surface preparation or insufficient coats. Ensure surfaces were clean and properly adhered to. Apply a second coat if only one was used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or contaminants. Lightly sand glossy or slick surfaces if necessary to improve adhesion, then wipe clean. No primer is required.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller in thin, even coats. For best results and maximum durability, two coats are recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior wood (new or previously painted), laminate, metal, powder-coated radiators, and previously painted or primed surfaces. Not recommended for exterior use or floors.
Care: Clean up brushes, rollers, and spills immediately with water. Once fully cured, the finish is durable and can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
