FAQs
What finish does Frenchic Olivia Wall Paint have?
It has an ultra-matte finish, which is a very flat, non-reflective surface.
Do I need a primer or top coat with this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no primer or top coat is required.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
While one coat offers coverage, two coats are recommended for a deeper color and a more durable, scrubbable finish.
What is the coverage rate per liter?
A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. Therefore, expect coverage of around 17.5m² per 2.5l tin when applying two recommended coats.
Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?
It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and ceramic wall tiles in general areas, but it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms or toys?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in environments like nurseries or playrooms.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the paint is highly scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or dust. If painting over a glossy surface, a light abrasion might be necessary.
Uneven color or coverage
This can occur if only one coat is applied. Apply a second coat for full depth and evenness. Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application.
Marks difficult to remove
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days before deep cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent with water. Scrub gently.
Brush marks visible
Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Ensure paint is applied at the recommended temperature and humidity.
