Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Flamenco Wall Paint in a vibrant 2.5L red is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a durable, easy-to-use, and aesthetically pleasing interior paint. Its key benefit is an ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that the 'ultra-matte' finish may show brush strokes more readily than glossier finishes if not applied carefully.

FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to cure?

The paint is touch-dry in 1-2 hours, but full curing, which grants maximum scrubbability, takes approximately 7-14 days.

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for interior use only.

Do I really need a primer?

The paint is self-priming, meaning for most standard interior surfaces in good condition, no separate primer is required. However, for very porous, unstable, or glossy surfaces, a primer may still offer better adhesion and an even finish.

What is the coverage rate of a 2.5L tin?

A 2.5L tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish and depth of colour, two coats are recommended, giving an approximate coverage of 17.5m².

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

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

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is washable and scrubbable. Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

Can I use a different colour from the Frenchic range in the same room?

Yes, you can coordinate colours from the extensive Frenchic range. The 'Flamenco' shade is also available in their soft-sheen Trim Paint range for matching woodwork.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not overly porous. Apply a second coat as recommended. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Brush strokes or roller marks are visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matte finishes. Ensure paint is not applied too thickly. Work in manageable sections.

Paint seems patchy or uneven in sheen

This can occur if the paint is not stirred adequately or if different amounts of paint are applied in sections. Ensure thorough stirring and even application. Allow the paint to cure fully before assessing the final sheen.

Surface feels sticky after painting

The paint may not be fully cured. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for drying, especially in humid conditions. Avoid touching or cleaning the surface until fully cured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Reduces prep time with self-priming and self-sealing properties.
Durable and easy to clean, maintaining its appearance over time.
Low odour and water-based formula contributes to better indoor air quality.

Cons

Ultra-matte finish can be more prone to showing application marks if not applied evenly.

2.5L tin coverage may be insufficient for very large projects without multiple tins.
Matching trim paint needs to be purchased separately for coordinated finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. While self-priming, any existing glossy surfaces should be lightly abraded to improve adhesion. For very porous or unstable surfaces, a dedicated primer may still be beneficial.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially for achieving full depth of colour and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. It is water-based and low VOC.

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