Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Putty Perfect Trim Paint in Beige is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior woodwork, furniture, and radiators with a sophisticated, complex neutral tone. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation requiring no primer or top coat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that the coverage estimate is based on a single coat, with two recommended for optimal durability, effectively halving the area covered per tin.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. For very glossy surfaces, lightly sand before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure paint is well-stirred. Consider using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-nap roller suitable for water-based paints.

Paint seems too thick

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water can be added, but avoid adding too much as this can affect performance and durability.

Colour appears different than expected

Colours can appear differently under various lighting conditions and on different surfaces. Always test on a small area first. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for true colour depth.
