FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Funky Dora Trim Paint is self-priming, meaning it contains properties that allow it to adhere directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.
Is a topcoat necessary after using this paint?
No, this paint is also self-sealing. It provides a durable, scuff-resistant finish on its own, eliminating the need for a separate topcoat.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin will cover up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish with two coats, expect to cover approximately 3.5m².
Can this paint be used on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for use on powder-coated radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean and has a compatible surface.
Is this paint safe for children's items?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only and should not be applied to exterior surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or contaminants. For laminate surfaces, a light degreasing is essential. Consider if any incompatible finishes were present.
Uneven sheen or finish
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Maintain consistent brush strokes.
Scuff marks appearing too easily
Allow the paint to cure fully for the recommended 7-14 days before subjecting it to heavy wear. Apply a third coat if needed for extra durability on high-traffic items.
Paint is too thick to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If the paint is very cold, allow it to come to room temperature. Thinning is generally not required, but if absolutely necessary, use a very small amount of water.
