Full details
For DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, durable finish for interior woodwork and furniture, Frenchic Trim Paint in White offers an effortless, high-quality solution. Its key benefit lies in its all-in-one formulation, combining primer and topcoat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is its specific hue, which is a pale ivory and might be too warm for those desiring a stark, bright white. This water-based paint provides a soft-satin sheen, scuff resistance, and is suitable for a wide range of surfaces including wood, laminate, metal, and even radiators.

FAQs
What is the exact colour of 'White' Frenchic Trim Paint?
The 'White' shade is a clean and classy pale ivory hue, described as pure and lofty neutral loveliness. It is softer than a bright, stark white.
Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming, meaning no separate primer is required for most surfaces.
Do I need a top coat after using this paint?
No, the paint is also self-sealing and provides a durable, scuff-resistant finish on its own, so no top coat is required.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin will cover approximately 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning one tin covers about 3.5m².
Can this paint be used on kitchen cabinets?
Yes, it is suitable for various furniture, including kitchen cupboards, offering a durable finish.
Is it safe for children's furniture?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
How do I clean up paint spills or brushes?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with soap and water. For finished surfaces, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and de-greased before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand may be necessary to improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure brushes or rollers are suitable for water-based paints and are kept clean during use.
Paint appears streaky
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in consistent strokes, working from unpainted to painted areas. Two coats usually resolve minor streaking.
Surface feels tacky after drying
Allow more time for the paint to cure, especially in humid conditions. Ensure thin coats were applied, as thick coats can take longer to dry fully.
