FAQs
Do I need a primer before using Frenchic Village Fayre Trim Paint?
No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no separate primer or top coat is required for most suitable surfaces.
How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin will cover approximately 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish requiring two coats, expect coverage of roughly 3.5m².
Can I use this paint on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for use on powder-coated radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean and dry before application.
Is this paint suitable for kitchen cupboards?
Yes, it can be used on kitchen cupboards made of wood or laminate. Proper cleaning and preparation are essential for a durable finish.
What is the best way to clean painted surfaces?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
It provides a soft-satin sheen, offering a subtle and attractive finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, de-greased, and lightly abraded if necessary. Re-apply, ensuring sufficient drying time between coats.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, working in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure sufficient paint is loaded onto the applicator.
Paint is too thick to apply smoothly
Ensure the paint is well-stirred. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect the finish. Ensure the ambient temperature is not too cold.
Low sheen level after drying
This is expected as the paint dries to a soft-satin finish. If a higher sheen is desired, consider a compatible top coat, although this defeats the self-sealing benefit.
