FAQs

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

No, Frenchic And breathe... Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared interior surfaces without a separate primer.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

While one coat may provide coverage, two coats are recommended for a deeper colour, a more durable finish, and to ensure the best performance.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. When applying two recommended coats, the coverage is approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth with mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'low VOC' mean?

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Low VOC paint means it releases fewer chemicals into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality and a virtually odour-free painting experience.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is suitable for interior furniture, including wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and even metal and uPVC surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous flaky coatings before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, working in sections. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see where paint has been applied.

Colour appears lighter than expected

Apply a second coat. The ultra-matte finish and self-priming nature mean two coats are recommended for full colour depth and durability.

Paint remains tacky after drying

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Drying times can be extended in humid or cold conditions. Avoid applying excessively thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before application. No primer is required. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also adheres to pre-prepared wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid application in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Allow the paint to dry for at least 2-4 hours between coats. The paint is fully cured and washable once it has dried for a minimum of 16 hours, achieving its full scrubbability after approximately 7 days. Clean application tools with water. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
