Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Trim Paint in 'Gold' is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior woodwork, furniture, and even radiators with a unique, warm, and characterful neutral tone. Its key benefit lies in its all-in-one formulation, offering simple prep, self-priming, and self-sealing properties for a durable, soft-satin finish. A potential caveat is its specific suitability for interior use only and the need for two coats for optimal durability and coverage.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or wax. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper may be needed before application.
Uneven colour finish
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly using consistent brush strokes. Two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and uniformity.
Tacky or slow-drying finish
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area at the recommended temperature. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Check that the surface was clean and dry before painting.
Brush marks are visible
Use a good quality brush suitable for water-based paints. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overworking the paint. Lightly sand between coats if necessary once dry.
