Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Putty Perfect Wall Paint in Beige is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, easy-to-use paint for interior walls and ceilings that offers an ultra-matte finish. Its key benefit is its self-priming, self-sealing, and scrubbable nature, significantly reducing prep time and maintenance effort. A potential caveat is that while it covers a wide range of surfaces, its primary formulation is for walls and ceilings, with other uses requiring specific considerations. The paint boasts excellent coverage, a water-based, low-VOC formula with minimal odour, and is certified safe for children's toys.

FAQs
What is the coverage rate for Frenchic Putty Perfect Wall Paint?
A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with one coat. For optimal depth of colour and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect coverage of approximately 17.5m².
Do I need to use a primer or topcoat with this paint?
No, Frenchic Putty Perfect is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and topcoat products.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the paint is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or a soft sponge with a mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, its scrubbable finish makes it suitable for walls and ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens. For areas prone to heavy moisture or grease, ensure good ventilation and clean regularly.
Can I use this paint on wooden furniture?
Yes, it is suitable for interior wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior woodwork. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and sound before application.
What is the drying time?
Drying time is typically 2-4 hours between coats, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Allow longer in cooler or more humid conditions.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, meaning it is safe for use on children's toys and furniture, and its low VOC and minimal odour make it a healthier choice for nurseries and play areas.
What is the difference between the Wall Paint and the Trim Paint?
The Wall Paint has an ultra-matte finish ideal for walls and ceilings. The Trim Paint has a soft-sheen finish and is designed for use on skirting boards, doors, and frames, offering a durable, slightly reflective surface that complements the wall paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or showing brush marks.
Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller. Apply paint with even, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. If necessary, apply a third coat for a more uniform finish.
Poor coverage or colour not as expected.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that you are applying the recommended two coats. Very dark or vibrant colours may require a third coat, especially when painting over a significantly different shade. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Paint is not drying between coats.
Check environmental conditions; low temperatures or high humidity can slow drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid applying thick coats, as this will extend drying time.
Surface is still marked easily after curing.
Ensure the paint has been allowed to fully cure (up to 7 days) before undertaking heavy cleaning. Use only a damp cloth or a soft sponge with mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
