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.

What kind of finish does 'Stone in Love' have?

It is suitable for ceramic wall tiles in bathrooms, but it is not recommended for areas with constant high moisture, such as shower enclosures or directly around bath 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.
