Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in Pink is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, beautiful, and easy-to-use finish for interior spaces. Its key benefit is a tough, scrubbable, ultra-matte finish that requires no priming or sealing, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that achieving the deepest colour and durability may require two coats, impacting coverage estimates for a single coat.

FAQs

Do I need to prime before using this paint?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most surfaces without a separate primer.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen cupboards and interior walls/ceilings. Its scrubbable finish makes it practical for these areas, but it is not recommended for surfaces with prolonged direct contact with water like shower enclosures.

How long does it take to dry?

Touch dry in approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. Re-coat after 2-4 hours. Allow 7 days for the paint to fully cure and achieve maximum durability.

What is the coverage per litre?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For recommended two coats, coverage is approximately 17.5m².

Can I use this paint on wooden floors?

Yes, it is suitable for wooden floors, offering a durable finish. For very high-traffic areas, consider applying extra coats for enhanced longevity.

How do I clean the paint off my brushes?

As this is a water-based paint, clean your brushes and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after use.

What makes this paint 'breathable'?

Breathable paints allow moisture vapour to pass through them, helping to prevent issues like condensation build-up and potential dampness within walls, particularly useful for older properties or areas prone to humidity.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to create a better key for the paint.

Streaks or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly, working in consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.

Colour appears uneven after one coat

Apply a second coat as recommended for depth of colour and durability. Ensure even application in the first coat.

Paint is too thick

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for your liking, you can add a very small amount of water (no more than 5-10%) to aid application, though this may slightly affect the finish or coverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For best adhesion, lightly sand glossy surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before application.

Compatibility:

This paint is recommended for interior walls and ceilings. It is also suitable for primed or previously painted wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Not recommended for exterior use or surfaces subject to prolonged moisture.

Care:

Once cured (typically 7 days), the paint achieves its full durability. Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the ultra-matte finish.
