Frenchic Wall Paint - Lady Grey

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning it functions as an all-in-one product and does not require a separate primer or top coat for most applications.

Once cured, the paint is washable and scrubbable (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating). You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

It's suitable for interior walls and ceilings, as well as wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles (excluding very wet shower areas).

A 2.5L tin covers approximately 35m² in a single coat. However, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability, meaning coverage for a two-coat finish is approximately 17.5m² per 2.5L tin.

Yes, the paint is certified EN71-3 safe for use on children's toys, is water-based, has low VOCs, and virtually no odour, making it a safe choice for indoor environments, including nurseries and playrooms.

While the paint may be touch-dry much sooner, it typically takes 7-14 days to fully cure. During this time, it's best to be gentle with the surface to ensure maximum durability and washability.

The paint has an ultra-matte finish, which is sophisticated and non-reflective. It's important to note that this finish can sometimes highlight imperfections in the surface more than a satin or gloss finish.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants) and that any glossy surfaces were lightly abraded to improve adhesion. Check that no incompatible treatments were applied previously.

Apply paint in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge. Work systematically and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure your brush or roller is suitable for water-based paints and is clean.

Ensure two coats have been applied as recommended. Stir the paint thoroughly before use, as pigment can settle. Lighter application of the first coat can sometimes aid coverage of the second.

This may indicate inadequate ventilation or the presence of moisture. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the paint is applied in dry conditions. Allow more time for drying; in humid conditions, this can take longer.
