FAQs

Do I really need a primer with this paint?

No, Frenchic Virgin Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared interior surfaces without a separate primer.

Is a topcoat necessary after painting?

No, this paint is also self-sealing and provides a durable, robust finish on its own, eliminating the need for a separate topcoat.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The drying time can vary, but it is typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours. Recoating can usually be done after 2-4 hours, depending on humidity and temperature.

Can this paint be used on kitchen cabinet doors?

Yes, it is suitable for use on kitchen cupboards and other furniture, providing a durable finish.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 500ml tin covers up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish with two coats, coverage is approximately 3.5m².

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

Yes, Frenchic Virgin Trim Paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

How should I clean painted surfaces?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any traces of wax or grease. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuffing may improve adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint well before and during use. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint is too thick to apply

Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. If the environment is very cold, this may thicken the paint slightly. Warming the paint gently (do not heat directly) may help, or consider a very small addition of water if recommended by the manufacturer for specific application methods, but typically it is ready to use.

Surface feels tacky after drying

This can sometimes occur in humid conditions or if the paint was applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for curing. Avoid applying subsequent coats until the previous one is fully dry and non-tacky.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and any loose debris. For most applications, no primer is required. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility:

This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, doors, and furniture. It can also be applied to powder-coated radiators, metal surfaces, and both wood and laminate furniture, including kitchen cupboards. It is safe for use on children's toys (EN71-3 certified).

Care:

Allow the paint to cure fully for optimal durability. For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
