FAQs
Do I need to prime my furniture before using Frenchic Lazy Range?
No, the Frenchic Lazy Range is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer. Just ensure your surface is clean and dry.
Is a top coat or sealer required after painting?
The Frenchic Lazy Range is also self-sealing, so a separate top coat or sealer is not required for durability, especially for interior furniture and woodwork. Once cured, it offers a durable matte finish.
How much coverage can I expect from a 750ml tin?
A 750ml tin provides coverage of up to 12.5m² for a single coat. For the recommended durable finish (minimum two coats), expect full coverage for approximately 6m² on non-porous surfaces. Porous surfaces may require more paint and additional coats.
Can I use this paint on kitchen cupboards?
Yes, Frenchic Lazy Range is suitable for interior kitchen cupboards made of wood or laminate. Ensure proper cleaning and preparation for best adhesion and durability.
Is this paint safe for children's toys and furniture?
Absolutely. This paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, providing peace of mind for parents.
How do I clean surfaces painted with Frenchic Lazy Range?
Once the paint has fully cured (typically 3-4 weeks), painted surfaces can be gently wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products.
What should I do if I need multiple tins of paint for a large project?
It's good practice to ensure all tins have identical batch numbers. If batch numbers differ, or to guarantee perfect consistency, intermix all tins in a larger container before you begin painting.
What kind of finish does 'Stone Rosie' provide?
'Stone Rosie' provides a durable, matte finish. The colour itself is a soft, welcoming beige hue, designed to evoke a cozy, Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy or coverage is poor.
Ensure the surface was clean and adequately prepared. For porous surfaces, more coats are often required. Apply thin, even coats and allow sufficient drying time between applications. Make sure you're using a minimum of two coats for full coverage and durability.
Finish feels rough or uneven.
Lightly sand the surface before painting to remove imperfections. Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply thin coats to prevent brush marks, and sand very lightly with fine-grit sandpaper between coats if needed (and wipe clean) for a smoother finish.
Paint is not drying properly or taking too long.
Ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace. High humidity or low temperatures can slow drying times. Apply thinner coats; thick applications dry slower.
Color looks different between multiple tins.
Always check batch numbers when buying multiple tins for a project. If batch numbers differ, or if unsure, intermix all tins in a larger container before starting to ensure a consistent color throughout your project.
Paint is peeling or not adhering well.
This usually indicates improper surface preparation. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of grease, wax, or loose paint. Lightly scuff sanding very glossy surfaces can also improve adhesion.
