Full details
The Frenchic Wall Paint in 'Stone in Love' is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, easy-to-maintain finish for interior spaces. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as a self-priming, self-sealing, and scrubbable paint that simplifies the decorating process. A minor caveat is that while excellent for most interior surfaces, it's best avoided in very wet areas like shower surrounds.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust, grease, or contaminants. If the surface was very glossy, it may need light sanding before application.
Streaky finish
Ensure paint is applied evenly and in a consistent direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Colour looks different to swatch
Surface colour, lighting conditions, and the number of coats applied can affect the final colour appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Paint still feels slightly tacky after drying
Ensure adequate ventilation during drying. Very humid conditions can slow drying times. Avoid applying subsequent coats too soon. If problem persists, allow more time in a warm, dry environment.
