FAQs

What is the coverage of this paint?

A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats are recommended for optimal depth and durability, covering approximately 17.5m².

Do I need a primer and top coat with this paint?

No, Frenchic Velvet Crush Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no separate primer or top coat is required.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior walls/ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its water-based formulation.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying times can vary depending on conditions, but typically allow 2-4 hours between coats. Refer to the product packaging for specific recommendations.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for use on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, and kitchen cupboards, providing a durable and washable finish.

What does EN71-3 certified mean?

This certification indicates that the paint is safe for use on children's toys, as it complies with strict European safety standards regarding heavy metals and harmful substances.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering well in one coat

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply a second coat as recommended for best results and durability.

Visible brush marks or roller texture

Apply the paint with a consistent technique, using light, even strokes. For brushes, use a high-quality synthetic brush. For rollers, use a short-nap roller suitable for matte finishes. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint is difficult to clean

Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully (up to 14 days). Once cured, the paint should be scrubbable. If marks persist, try a slightly more concentrated mild detergent solution.

Uneven colour or sheen

Ensure the paint has been thoroughly mixed before and during application. Use paint from the same batch number for the entire project to avoid slight colour variations. Apply coats evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. While the paint is self-priming, any glossy surfaces should be lightly abraded. For new plaster or porous surfaces, a mist coat of thinned paint (e.g., 70% paint, 30% water) may be beneficial.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best colour depth and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines. Use in a well-ventilated area.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also compatible with wooden furniture, interior wood, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid using in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days), the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the finish.
