Product Information
Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh interior spaces with a durable, washable, and eco-friendly paint. The Frenchic Irish Dance Wall Paint in Green offers an ultra-matte finish with exceptional coverage and minimal prep, saving you time and effort. A key caveat is its specialized formulation, which requires proper application for optimal results, and it is best suited for interior walls and ceilings, not high-moisture areas.

FAQs
Do I really need a primer and top coat?
No, this Frenchic paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without the need for additional primer or top coat.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully washable?
The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but it needs to cure completely to achieve its full scrubbable and washable properties. This typically takes 7-14 days.
Can I use this paint in my bathroom?
This paint is not recommended for very wet areas like shower or bath surrounds. It is suitable for general interior walls and ceilings where moisture levels are normal.
What is the coverage of a 2.5l tin?
A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect coverage of approximately 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 furniture, and it is water-based with low VOCs and virtually no odour.
Can I get this colour in a different finish?
Yes, the same shades are available in Frenchic's soft-sheen Trim Paint range, which is suitable for skirting boards, doors, and frames for a coordinating look.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The paint is rated Class 1 Wet Scrub, so it can withstand thorough cleaning once fully cured.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from grease or dust). Check that no unsuitable sealants or finishes were previously applied.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint with a good quality brush or roller, using smooth, even strokes. Work in manageable sections and maintain a wet edge. Stir paint regularly during application.
Colour doesn't match expectations
Always test the paint colour on a small, inconspicuous area before painting the entire surface. Colour appearance can vary based on lighting and surface type.
Paint seems too thick or thin
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (no more than 5%) can be added, though this is rarely necessary with this formulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. No primer or top coat is required.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also suitable for wooden furniture, interior wood work, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Not recommended for very wet areas such as shower or bath surrounds.
Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) for maximum durability. Clean spills and marks promptly. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the matte finish. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth can be used, and for tougher stains, a wet scrub (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating) is possible once fully cured.
