Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Swanky Pants Wall Paint in Grey is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matte finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as primer, sealer, and topcoat, simplifying the painting process significantly. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for interior use and avoidance of very wet areas. Key features include its washable and breathable formula, excellent coverage, self-priming and self-sealing properties, and a scrubbable finish.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

It is suitable for most bathroom walls and ceilings, but it is not recommended for areas with direct water contact or very high humidity, such as shower cubicles or around the immediate edge of a bath where it might be constantly splashed.

How many coats do I need?

One coat provides coverage, but two coats are recommended for the best depth of colour and maximum durability.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and other interior wood surfaces, offering a durable, scrubbable finish.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5L tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat, or about 17.5m² with the recommended two coats.

Is the paint safe for children?

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

How do I clean the paint finish?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. The Class 1 Wet Scrub rating means it is highly resistant to scrubbing.

What is the drying time?

Drying times can vary depending on humidity and temperature, but typically it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Allow 7-14 days for full curing.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or streaky.

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect the finish. Ensure application tools are appropriate and not dry.

Uneven colour or coverage after one coat.

This is normal for many paints. Apply a second coat as recommended for full depth of colour and durability. Ensure consistent application technique.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous flaking paint before application.

Difficulty cleaning the painted surface.

While the paint is washable, allow it to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-in-one product reduces the need for multiple purchases (primer, sealer).
  • High durability with a scrubbable finish makes maintenance easy.
  • Child-safe certification offers peace of mind for family homes.
  • Low VOCs and minimal odour improve the painting environment.
  • Excellent coverage saves time and paint.
  • Approved by Good Housekeeping Institute and Ideal Home Awards.

Cons

  • Not suitable for very wet areas like shower interiors.
  • Ultra-matte finish may show brush strokes more readily than higher sheens if not applied carefully.
  • Requires two coats for optimal depth and durability, increasing project time.
  • Primarily for interior use only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, using smooth, even strokes. For best results and durability, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid use in areas with constant high humidity or direct water contact, such as shower cubicles.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. The paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, meaning it can withstand vigorous cleaning without damage. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
