FAQs

How much paint do I need?

A 750ml tin covers up to 12.5m² per coat. Remember that a minimum of two coats is recommended, so calculate accordingly based on your project's surface area.

Do I need to sand before painting?

Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Otherwise, minimal sanding is required.

Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, Frenchic Funky Dora is suitable for kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture.

How do I clean my paint brushes?

Clean your brushes with water immediately after use. Avoid letting the paint dry on the brush.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

What is the drying time?

Drying time varies depending on environmental conditions, but generally, allow for at least 2-4 hours between coats.

Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?

This paint is recommended for interior use only.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, degreased, and lightly sanded. Consider using a bonding primer on laminate or very smooth surfaces.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Allow the paint to self-level.

Poor coverage.

Ensure you're applying two coats. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Make sure you are applying the paint at the recommended thickness.

Paint color different from expected.

Ensure the paint is fully mixed and that you are using the correct batch number. Test the color on a small, hidden area before painting the entire project.
