FAQs
Do I need to sand before painting?
The Frenchic Lazy Range is self-priming, so heavy sanding is often not required. However, for very glossy or previously waxed surfaces, a light scuff sand can improve adhesion. Always ensure the surface is clean and dry.
How many coats do I need?
A minimum of two coats is recommended for a durable and even finish. More coats may be desired for a deeper color or for coverage over dark previous finishes.
Is this paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, this paint is water-based, has low VOCs and low odor, and is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is typically touch-dry within an hour, but allow at least 2 hours between coats. Full curing, where the paint reaches its maximum hardness and durability, can take up to 21 days.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, the Frenchic Lazy Range is specifically formulated for interior furniture and woodwork. For outdoor projects, Frenchic offers other ranges designed for exterior use.
How do I clean my painted items?
Once fully cured, surfaces painted with Frenchic Lazy Range can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which could damage the matte finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint isn't adhering well
Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free of grease. Lightly scuff sanding very glossy or previously waxed surfaces can improve adhesion.
Brush strokes are visible
Use a good quality synthetic brush and apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint as it dries quickly. A roller can provide a smoother finish on flat surfaces.
Uneven finish or patchy color
Ensure you are applying at least two full coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Paint consistency should be even; stir well before use.
Paint feels tacky after drying
This can happen in humid conditions. Ensure proper ventilation and allow extended drying and curing time. Avoid putting items on the painted surface until fully cured (up to 21 days for full hardness).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before painting, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or flaking paint. A light sand may be beneficial on very glossy surfaces for better adhesion, but it's often not strictly necessary due to the self-priming nature. For best results, degrease with sugar soap, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly. This paint is compatible with most interior wood and laminate surfaces. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Once cured, the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh abrasives to preserve the matte finish.
