FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, this Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
For best colour depth and durability, two coats are recommended. A single coat offers good coverage but may not achieve the full richness or protection.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
It is suitable for bathroom walls and ceilings as long as they are not areas of constant high moisture or direct water contact, like shower enclosures or bath surrounds. Ensure good ventilation.
How do I clean the painted surface?
The paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, so most common household marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent sparingly.
What is the coverage of a 2.5l tin?
A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. Two coats will cover approximately 17.5m².
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, and it has low VOCs with virtually no odour.
What finish does Frenchic Wall Paint - Sugar Puff have?
It has an ultra-matte finish, which is a non-reflective, modern, and sophisticated look.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (max 5-10% by volume) and mix well. Ensure the ambient temperature is not too cold.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure even application by maintaining a wet edge. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Apply in consistent strokes and avoid overworking the paint.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust, grease, or flaking paint). For problematic surfaces like very glossy finishes, a light sanding may improve adhesion.
Colour appears different after drying
Allow the paint to dry completely, as colours can sometimes appear lighter when wet. Check that two coats have been applied for full opacity and true colour representation.
