Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Trim Paint in Orange is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers looking to add a warm, cheerful hue to interior projects. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation that simplifies preparation and finishing. A potential caveat is that optimal durability may require two coats, impacting coverage on larger projects. This chalk and mineral paint offers a soft-satin sheen suitable for woodwork, furniture, and various surfaces, featuring simple prep and a robust, scuff-resistant finish.

FAQs

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

How should I clean my painted surface?

Once fully cured, the finish is robust and scuff-resistant. Clean with a damp cloth. For best results, clean gently.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

Can I use this paint outdoors?

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease or dust. Glossy surfaces may need light sanding before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint peeling or chipping after drying

A second coat is recommended for enhanced durability, especially on high-traffic surfaces. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that no contaminants were present.

Colour appears different from the tin

Colours can appear differently depending on lighting and the surface colour underneath. Stir the paint well and consider a test patch.
