FAQs

How much coverage can I expect from a tin?

A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for 6m² on non-porous surfaces.

Is Frenchic Al Fresco Blackjack suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and is weatherproof and UV resistant.

Do I need to prime before painting?

No, Frenchic Al Fresco is self-priming, saving you a step in the painting process.

Can I use this paint on children's toys?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Is the paint really odourless?

It is virtually odourless, making it pleasant to use indoors.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It has a very low, almost flat matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded if necessary. Apply a thin first coat and allow it to dry completely before applying the second coat.

Brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply thin, even coats. The self-levelling properties of the paint help to minimize brush marks.

Coverage is poor.

Ensure you are applying the paint thinly. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Make sure the paint is well mixed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation

  1. Surface Cleaning: Clean the surface with sugar soap or a similar cleaner to remove dirt, grease, and grime.
  2. Light Sanding: Lightly sand the surface to create a key, especially on glossy surfaces. This is not always necessary due to the self-priming nature of the paint, but can aid adhesion.
  3. Repair: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth.

Application

  1. Stir Well: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency.
  2. Apply Coats: Apply two thin coats of Blackjack, allowing sufficient drying time between each coat (typically 2-4 hours). Porous surfaces may require additional coats.
  3. Brush or Roller: Use a good quality brush or roller for a smooth finish. The self-levelling properties of the paint minimize brush marks.

Compatibility

  • Suitable for use on wood, laminate, uPVC, metal, and various other surfaces.
  • Avoid use in very wet areas like showers or bath surrounds.

Care

  • Clean up spills immediately with water.
  • Allow the paint to fully cure for optimal durability.
  • Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
