FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Trim Paint is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer coat before painting.
Is a top coat necessary after using this paint?
No, the paint is also self-sealing, providing a durable, robust finish without the need for a top coat.
What surfaces can I paint with Frenchic Trim Paint?

What is the finish of the paint?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen, offering a smooth, low-sheen appearance.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the finish.
Is this paint safe for use in a child's room?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick during application
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water can be added, but use sparingly to avoid compromising the finish.
Uneven color after one coat
This is normal. Apply a second coat, ensuring even coverage, for a uniform and rich color depth.
Brush marks are visible
Use a good quality brush and apply thin, even coats. Consider a mini-foam roller for smoother surfaces. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper between coats if necessary.
Paint is not adhering well to laminate furniture
Ensure the laminate surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased. A very light scuff-sanding might improve adhesion if problems persist, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
