FAQs

Is Frenchic Anguilla Al Fresco suitable for bathrooms?

It is suitable for ceramic wall tiles in bathrooms, but not recommended for areas with constant high moisture or direct water contact, such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

How much surface area does a 750ml tin cover?

A 750ml tin typically covers up to 12.5m² with a single coat. For a durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning approximately 6m² coverage per 750ml tin.

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

No, Frenchic Anguilla Al Fresco is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer or sealer coats on most surfaces.

Can this paint be used on children's toys?

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

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a beautiful, low, almost flat matte finish.

How should I clean painted surfaces?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to maintain the finish.

Is this paint water-based or solvent-based?

Frenchic Anguilla Al Fresco is a water-based paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from any contaminants like grease or dust. For very glossy surfaces, a light keying with sandpaper may be necessary.

Uneven or streaky finish

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply paint in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint in one area. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Matte finish appears too flat or chalky

This is characteristic of the matte finish. Ensure the recommended number of coats (typically two) have been applied for a uniform appearance. Allow paint to fully cure for optimal finish.

Paint feels tacky after extended drying time

Ensure the paint was applied in a well-ventilated area and that environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) are suitable for drying. If issues persist, contact Frenchic support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. For most surfaces, no priming or sanding is required. If painting over a very glossy surface, a light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper can improve adhesion.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for wood, laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (excluding very wet areas), kitchen cupboards, front doors, interior wood floors, and concrete floors.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two thin coats are recommended for optimal durability and finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines.

Care: Clean up spills and brushes immediately with water. For maintenance, wipe surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, especially on freshly painted surfaces, to preserve the matte finish.
