Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for a durable, easy-to-use paint for interior walls and ceilings. The key benefit is its 'all-in-one' formula, eliminating the need for primer and top coat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it's primarily designed for walls and ceilings, with other surfaces requiring specific preparation. Frenchic Wall Paint in Peppermint is a washable, breathable, chalk and mineral paint offering an ultra-matte finish with excellent coverage. Its self-priming and self-sealing properties, coupled with a scrubbable finish, make it a practical choice for high-traffic areas and projects requiring easy maintenance.

FAQs

Do I need a primer with this paint?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and does not require a separate primer on most suitable interior surfaces.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

While one coat offers coverage, two coats are recommended for achieving the best depth of colour and a more durable finish.

Can this paint be used on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen cupboards and provides a scrubbable finish that is easy to clean.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. With the recommended two coats, expect coverage of approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it is washable, for very high humidity or splash zones like a shower enclosure, alternative specialised paints might be more appropriate. It is generally suitable for bathroom walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to cure?

The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but full curing, at which point it becomes fully scrubbable, typically takes 7-14 days.

What is the difference between 'Peppermint' and other colours?

The 'Peppermint' shade is a specific off-white colour with a hint of green. The paint's formula and performance characteristics are consistent across all colours in the Frenchic Wall Paint range.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding might be necessary prior to painting.

Uneven colour or finish

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking it. Ensure adequate lighting during application to see coverage.

Difficulty cleaning marks

Ensure the paint has been fully cured (allow 7-14 days after the final coat). After curing, the paint should be fully scrubbable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.

Paint appears too thin

This is a breathable paint designed for a matte finish. Apply thin, even coats. Two coats are recommended for optimal depth and durability. Ensure the paint has not been over-thinned with water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves time and money by combining primer, paint, and top coat.
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to its scrubbable finish.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior surfaces beyond walls and ceilings.
  • Environmentally friendly with low VOCs and minimal odour.
  • Safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for walls and ceilings, other surfaces may require specific preparation.
  • Requires two coats for optimal colour depth and durability.
  • Ultra-matte finish can highlight surface imperfections if preparation is inadequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint before application. No primer is required for most interior surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood (furniture, trim, floors), metal (powder-coated radiators), interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. For highly glossy or slick surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion.

Care: Apply two coats using a brush or roller for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Once fully cured (typically 7-14 days), the finish is completely scrubbable. Clean spills and tools with water.
