Full details
This Frenchic Wall Paint in Nougat is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a versatile, durable, and easy-to-use paint for interior spaces. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as a primer and topcoat while offering excellent coverage and a scrubbable, ultra-matte finish. A potential caveat is that while suitable for most interior surfaces, it should be avoided in very wet areas like shower enclosures.

FAQs
Do I need a primer with this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer before painting.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
It is suitable for bathroom walls and ceilings, but should be avoided in very wet areas like shower enclosures or around bath surrounds due to its Class 1 Wet Scrub rating.
How many coats of paint should I apply?
While one coat provides coverage, two coats are recommended for optimal depth of colour and a more durable, scrubbable finish.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the finish is scrubbable. Clean with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads.
What is the coverage rate?
A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats are estimated to cover approximately 17.5m².
Can I use this on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for powder-coated radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean and dry before application.
Is the paint safe for children?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or existing flaking paint. For problematic surfaces, a light sanding might improve adhesion.
Streaks or brush marks visible
Apply paint in consistent, even strokes, working in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see application as you go. Consider using a roller for larger areas.
Colour appears uneven
Apply the recommended two coats for full depth and uniformity of colour. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second. Stir paint well before and during application.
Paint is too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water can be added (refer to manufacturer's specific thinning instructions if available), but this is generally not recommended for Frenchic paints.
