Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Trim Paint in Rosy Dusk is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and furniture flippers seeking a subtle, elegant finish for interior woodwork and furniture. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, requiring no primer or top coat, simplifying the painting process significantly. A potential caveat is the coverage, which requires two coats for optimal durability, meaning a 500ml tin covers approximately 3.5m². This water-based chalk and mineral paint offers a soft-satin sheen with robust, scuff-resistant properties, and is safe for use on children's toys.

FAQs
Do I really need a primer and top coat?
No, this Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without the need for additional primer or top coat.
How much area does one tin cover?
A 500ml tin covers up to 7m² with a single coat. However, two coats are recommended for a more durable finish, so you can expect to cover approximately 3.5m².
Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?
Yes, this paint is suitable for furniture, including kitchen cupboards, provided the surfaces are properly prepared (clean and dry).
Is this paint suitable for children's toys?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.
How do I clean my painted surface?
Once cured, the finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What is the best way to apply the paint?
Stir the paint well. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats for the best finish.
Can this paint be used outdoors?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only.
What is the drying time?
Touch dry in approximately 30 minutes and recoatable in 1-2 hours. Allow 7-14 days for full curing.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or old, flaking paint. Re-apply after ensuring proper surface preparation.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Stir the paint well before and during use. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water (e.g., 1 teaspoon per 500ml) can be added, but use sparingly as it may affect durability. Ensure the paint has not been stored in freezing temperatures.
Colour appears different than expected
Colours can appear different in varying light conditions and on different surfaces. Apply a test patch in the intended location to assess the final colour. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for opacity.
