Product Information
Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior woodwork, furniture, and radiators with a durable, attractive finish. The key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, significantly reducing prep time and eliminating the need for separate primers or top coats. A potential caveat is that two coats are recommended for optimal durability, impacting coverage per tin for a full project. Frenchic Trim Paint in Beige is a water-based chalk and mineral paint offering a soft-satin sheen, designed for ease of use and a scuff-resistant, low-VOC finish.

The paint provides a soft-satin sheen.
Can I use this paint for outdoor projects?

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean and free from dust, grease, or contaminants before painting. Lightly abrading very glossy surfaces can improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overloading the brush. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint well. If the environment is very warm, a very small amount of water might be added, but this is rarely necessary and can affect performance. Ensure lid is securely fastened when not in use to prevent drying out.
Scuff marks appearing quickly
Ensure two coats have been applied and allowed to cure fully (this can take several days for maximum hardness). For high-traffic areas, a third coat may offer additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation: For most surfaces, minimal preparation is needed. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion, but is often not strictly necessary.
Compatibility: This paint is ideal for interior woodwork (including trims, skirting, and doors), furniture (wood and laminate), powder-coated radiators, and metal surfaces. It is not recommended for exterior use or for areas subject to prolonged wet conditions.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two thin coats are recommended for maximum durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment with warm water and soap immediately after use. For the painted surface, clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
