Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Lilac Hue Wall Paint is ideal for homeowners seeking a calming, understated purple for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is an ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that the chalky finish may not be suitable for very high-moisture areas without proper sealing. The paint offers excellent coverage, is water-based with low VOCs, and has been recognized by the Good Housekeeping Institute and Ideal Home Awards.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use Frenchic Lilac Hue paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It can also be used on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid very wet areas like shower surrounds.

Do I need to use a primer and top coat?

No, Frenchic Lilac Hue Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need to use a separate primer or top coat.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning approximately 17.5m² coverage.

Is this paint suitable for children's rooms?

Yes, the paint is certified EN71-3, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint has an ultra-matte finish, which is chalky and sophisticated.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, it is a water-based formula with virtually no odour.

Can I get this color in a different finish?

Yes, the same shades are available in Frenchic's soft-sheen Trim Paint range, which can be used on skirting boards, doors, and frames for a matching or complementary look.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and free from dust, grease, or previous flaky coatings. If applying over a glossy surface, light abrasion may be needed.

Uneven finish or brush marks showing

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Color appears different from the tin

Color can appear different on the wall than in the tin due to lighting and surface texture. It is recommended to paint a small test area first. Ensure two coats are applied for full color depth.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect the finish or durability. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
