Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in Dusky Blush is ideal for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, soft pink hue with a modern, ultra-matte finish. Its key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, acting as a primer, paint, and sealer for effortless application. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it's not recommended for very wet areas like shower surrounds. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers excellent coverage and is easily cleaned, making it suitable for walls, ceilings, furniture, and various interior surfaces, including wood, metal, and tiles.

FAQs

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

No, this paint is self-priming, meaning it contains properties that allow it to adhere directly to most surfaces without a separate primer.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, it's suitable for kitchen cupboards and walls. For bathrooms, it can be used on walls and tiles but avoid areas of constant direct water exposure like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

How do I clean the painted surface?

The paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, meaning you can clean it with a damp cloth or a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with one coat, or around 17.5m² with two coats.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, and it has low VOCs with virtually no odour.

What kind of finish does it have?

It has an ultra-matte finish, which is a very flat, non-reflective surface.

Can this paint be used on floors?

Yes, it can be used on interior wooden floors, provided they are properly prepared. For high-traffic areas, consider two coats for enhanced durability.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before painting. Remove any grease, dust, or old flaking paint. For non-porous surfaces, a light sanding may be required to create a better key for the paint.

Streaky or uneven finish after painting.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Use a good quality brush or roller and apply paint evenly, working in consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint in one area. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Colour appears different than expected.

Colour perception can vary depending on lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Ensure you have applied the recommended number of coats for full opacity. Test a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Paint seems too thick to apply smoothly.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water (no more than 5% by volume) can be added, but this may affect coverage and durability. Ensure paint has not been stored in freezing conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

All-in-one primer, paint, and sealer saves time and materials.
Durable, scrubbable finish simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
Low VOC and virtually no odour create a healthier indoor environment.
Versatile application suitable for a wide range of surfaces.
Attractive, modern ultra-matte finish.
Certified safe for children's toys.

Cons

Not recommended for very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
Two coats may be necessary for deeper colour or enhanced durability, impacting coverage per tin.
Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion on certain materials.
Ultra-matte finish can be unforgiving to surface imperfections if not properly prepped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface you intend to paint is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sanding non-glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for a wide array of interior surfaces including plaster, previously painted walls and ceilings, wood (bare or painted), metal (primed or powder-coated radiators), interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. It is not recommended for areas with constant high humidity or direct water contact, such as shower cubicles or the surrounds of a bathtub.

Care: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks or stains, a slightly more abrasive sponge or cloth can be used. The paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, meaning it can withstand rigorous cleaning without compromising the finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the paint surface.
