FAQs
How much area does a 2.5L tin of Frenchic Wall Paint cover?
A 2.5L tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal depth and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning one tin typically covers approximately 17.5m².
Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer. This significantly simplifies the preparation process.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior woodwork, but it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower or bath surrounds due to potential moisture issues. For general kitchen and bathroom walls, it can be used, provided there is adequate ventilation and it's not subjected to constant high humidity or direct water splashes.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is typically touch-dry within 30 minutes to an hour, and recoatable after 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Full curing, where the paint reaches its maximum durability and scrubbability, can take several days to a few weeks.
What is the finish like?
The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is a sophisticated, non-reflective look that is excellent at hiding surface imperfections.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, this wall paint is also suitable for use on wooden furniture, providing a durable and easy-to-clean finish.
Is the 'Cool Beans' colour a warm or cool tone?
'Cool Beans' is described as a stylish neutral with calming, pale, and creamy taupe tones, leaning towards a neutral to slightly warm beige.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and free from contaminants like grease or dust. The surface may need light abrasion if it is extremely glossy.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply paint in consistent, even strokes, maintaining a wet edge. Avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a high-quality synthetic brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint well. If the paint is still very thick and difficult to apply, a very small amount of water (e.g., 10-20ml per litre) can be added and mixed thoroughly, though this is rarely necessary.
Difficulty cleaning the surface
Ensure the paint has been fully cured (allow several days to weeks depending on conditions). Once cured, the finish becomes highly scrubbable. Use a soft sponge and mild soap.
