Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Crystal Blue Wall Paint is ideal for homeowners seeking a fresh, cool, and clean aesthetic for interior walls and ceilings, offering a washable and breathable chalk and mineral paint. Its key benefit is the ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat for users is that while highly durable, the paint is recommended for interior use and not in very wet areas like shower surrounds.

FAQs

What is the coverage rate of Frenchic Crystal Blue Wall Paint?

A 2.5L tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For best results, two coats are recommended, meaning approximately 17.5m² coverage per tin.

Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and top coats on most suitable surfaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or sponge for cleaning. For stubborn marks, a mild detergent and water can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it's washable and durable, it is not recommended for use in very wet areas such as shower or bath surrounds. It is suitable for general interior walls and ceilings.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It has an ultra-matte finish, which provides a sophisticated, non-reflective look.

Can I use this paint on wooden furniture?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior wood, providing a durable and attractive finish.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms or toys?

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and ideal for use in children's rooms.

What are the VOC levels?

The paint is water-based with low VOCs, contributing to better indoor air quality during and after application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or peeling.

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease before application. Previous finishes may require light abrasion for better grip. If the surface is prone to chalking, a suitable primer might be necessary, although this paint is designed to be self-priming.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before use. Apply paint evenly using long, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Colour does not appear as expected after one coat.

This is normal for ultra-matte finishes. Apply a second coat as recommended to achieve the full depth and true colour. The coverage is excellent, but two coats are suggested for optimal results.

Paint seems too thick to apply.

Stir the paint well. If still very thick, a very small amount of water (e.g., 10% or less) can be added, but this may slightly affect the durability. Apply in a slightly warmer environment if possible.
