Product Information
Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior woodwork, furniture, and cabinetry with a durable, sophisticated finish. The key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, which simplifies the painting process by negating the need for primer or top coat. A potential caveat is that the coverage is estimated based on two coats for durability, so actual coverage may vary with application technique.

FAQs
Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is an all-in-one formula that acts as a primer, paint, and sealer, so no additional primer or top coat is required.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and all sorts of furniture including kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture made from wood or laminate.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin will cover up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, so expect to cover approximately 3.5m².
Is this paint safe for children's furniture or toys?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.
How do I clean up the paint?
Clean up spills and brushes immediately with water. Once cured, the surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
It provides a soft-satin sheen, which is a modern and elegant finish that is also robust and scuff-resistant.
Does the paint have a strong odour?
No, it is water-based with low VOCs and low odour, making it pleasant to use indoors.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be necessary to improve grip.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thinner coats and use a good quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Ensure paint is stirred well.
Colour appears lighter than expected
A second coat is recommended for full colour depth and durability. Ensure the paint was thoroughly mixed before application.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Stir the paint very thoroughly. If absolutely necessary and if recommended by the manufacturer (check tin), a *very* small amount of water might be added, but this can affect durability.
