Frenchic Smudge Wall Paint - Grey

No, Frenchic Smudge is formulated as a self-priming paint, meaning it can be applied directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.

It has an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and provides a sophisticated, velvety look.

Once fully cured (allow 2-3 weeks), the paint is scrubbable. You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Yes, it's suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior walls/ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or directly behind a bath surround due to its porous nature when not fully cured.

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with one coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, which would cover approximately 17.5m².

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

Smudge is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings, offering an ultra-matte finish and exceptional scrubbability. Other Frenchic ranges might be formulated for furniture (like the original Artisan range) or have different finishes.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overloading the brush/roller. Ensure you are working with consistent strokes.

While coverage is excellent, very porous or dark underlying colours might require a third coat. Ensure you are applying a sufficient thickness of paint, but avoid applying it too thickly, which can lead to other issues.

This can happen if applied too thickly or in humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow extra drying time. If persistent, it may require a light sanding and reapplication of a thin coat.

The paint may not have fully cured. Wait the recommended curing period (2-3 weeks) before attempting to scrub stubborn marks. Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth with a mild detergent for cleaning.
