FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While the paint is washable and durable, it is not recommended for very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds. It can be used on bathroom walls and ceilings in areas that do not experience direct water exposure.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is typically touch dry within 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, it takes 7-14 days to fully cure and achieve its maximum scrubbable finish.

Do I need a primer or topcoat?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need a separate primer or topcoat. This significantly simplifies the preparation and painting process.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is suitable for various surfaces, including wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior woodwork, providing a durable and attractive finish.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal results and durability, two coats are recommended, covering approximately 17.5m² per tin.

Is the paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms. It is also water-based with low VOCs and virtually no odour.

Can I match this paint to my trim?

Yes, Frenchic offers a matching soft-sheen Trim Paint range in the same shades, allowing you to coordinate your walls with your skirting boards, doors, and frames.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from imperfections. Stir the paint well before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Consider a second coat if necessary.

Streaks or brush marks visible

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint in consistent strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. For stubborn marks, light sanding once dry and a subsequent thin coat may help.

Paint seems too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a minimal amount of water (e.g., 5-10%) can be added, but avoid over-thinning, which can affect coverage and finish.

Surface still looks patchy after two coats

Ensure you are using consistent application techniques. Check if the surface has absorbed the paint unevenly due to its porosity. A third thin coat might be needed on problematic surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. As the paint is self-priming, no additional primer is required. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It can also be used on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid using in very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days), the paint is fully scrubbable with an ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating. For cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing immediately after painting.
