FAQs

What kind of surfaces can I paint with Frenchic Lazy Range?

You can use this paint on interior furniture, woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, kitchen cupboards, and built-in furniture, including both wood and laminate surfaces.

Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?

No, the Frenchic Lazy Range is an all-in-one formula that is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and top coats.

Is this paint safe to use on children's furniture or toys?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and other items where child safety is a concern.

How much area does a 750ml tin of Frenchic Lazy Range cover?

A 750ml tin will provide up to 12.5m² for one coat. However, for a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is required, which covers approximately 6m² on non-porous surfaces. Porous surfaces may yield less coverage.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a durable, elegant matte finish.

I need more than one tin for my project. What should I do about color consistency?

If you need multiple tins, it's good practice to ensure all batch numbers are identical. If they are different, or to be extra safe, intermix all tins together thoroughly before you start painting to ensure a perfectly consistent color across your entire project.

What does 'low VOCs' mean?

VOCs stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Low VOC paint means it releases fewer chemicals into the air, resulting in less odor and a more environmentally friendly and healthier painting experience, especially for indoor projects.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or poor coverage after one coat.

This paint requires a minimum of two coats for durability and optimal finish. Ensure your surface was clean and apply a second coat, allowing proper drying time in between. Porous surfaces may require additional coats due to absorption.

Color appears inconsistent across different areas or from different tins.

If using multiple tins, always check batch numbers. If they differ, or even as a best practice, intermix all tins together thoroughly before beginning your project to ensure a perfectly uniform color.

Paint is not adhering well or peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free of grease, dust, or flaking old paint. While simple prep is advertised, thorough cleaning is essential for proper adhesion. Lightly sand very glossy or oily surfaces before painting.
