FAQs
Do I need to prime or seal this paint?
No, Frenchic Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no primer or top coat is required for most interior projects.
What surfaces can I use Frenchic Paint on?
It's suitable for interior woodwork, furniture (wood and laminate), radiators, metal, trims, and skirting boards.
How much area does 500ml of paint cover?
A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. Two coats are recommended for durability, covering about 3.5m².
Is this paint suitable for children's toys?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
How do I clean my painted surface?
Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only.
What is the drying time?
Drying times can vary, but it is typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours. Allow longer between coats for best results, often 2-4 hours, and full curing can take several days.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or lumpy
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a tiny amount of water (max 5%) can be added, but this may affect the finish. Ensure the lid was sealed properly during storage.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint was stirred well. Apply in thin, even coats, working in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure the brush is suitable for water-based paints and is clean.
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. For very smooth or glossy surfaces, a light sanding to de-gloss may improve adhesion.
Coverage seems low
Two coats are recommended for best results and durability. Ensure you are applying in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat.
