FAQs

Do I really need to prime or use a top coat?

No, Frenchic Mister A. Trim Paint is designed to be self-priming and self-sealing. This means you typically do not need to apply a separate primer before painting or a top coat afterwards for durability, simplifying the process.

What is the coverage of a 500ml tin?

A 500ml tin is expected to cover up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning approximately 3.5m² coverage per tin.

Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen cupboards, including those made of wood and laminate. Its robust and scuff-resistant finish makes it practical for this use.

What kind of sheen does the paint have?

The paint provides a soft-satin sheen, offering a subtle sheen rather than a high gloss finish.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.

How should I clean my painted surfaces?

Clean gently with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What does EN71-3 certified mean?

EN71-3 certification means the paint meets the European safety standard for toys, indicating it is safe to use on items that children may come into contact with.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. For very glossy or difficult surfaces, a light sanding might be beneficial, although not strictly required by the product.

Streaky or uneven finish.

Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid applying too thickly. Ensure you have applied the recommended two coats for a more uniform appearance. Stir the paint well before and during use.

Paint appears too thick.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, consider adding a very small amount of water (check manufacturer's recommendation if available, but typically minimal dilution is advised for chalk paints).

Scuff marks appearing too easily.

Ensure two coats have been applied and allowed to cure properly. The scuff resistance improves as the paint fully cures over several days. Avoid heavy use immediately after painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Ensure the surface you intend to paint is clean, dry, and free from grease or grime. For heavily soiled or glossy surfaces, a light clean and degrease is recommended. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility:

This paint is recommended for:

  • Interior woodwork (trims, skirting, doors)

  • Kitchen cupboards (wood and laminate)
  • Built-in furniture
  • Powder-coated radiators
  • Metal
