FAQs
How many coats of Frenchic Love Letter paint are recommended?
While the paint offers excellent coverage, two coats are recommended for achieving the best depth of colour and a more durable, long-lasting finish.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds. It is suitable for general bathroom walls if moisture levels are controlled.
Is this paint suitable for children's furniture or toys?
Yes, the paint is safe for use on children's toys and furniture, as it is certified to EN71-3 standards.
What is the coverage rate of a 2.5l tin?
A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats, which are recommended, will provide coverage of approximately 17.5m².
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once cured, the finish is completely scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soapy water. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry.
Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?
No, Frenchic Love Letter paint is self-priming. However, on very glossy or challenging surfaces, light preparation like sanding may still be beneficial for optimal adhesion.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective look.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. Check if a primer was needed for the specific surface type, despite the paint being self-priming.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint using a high-quality brush or roller with even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure the paint is stirred well and applied at a consistent temperature.
Coverage seems lower than expected
Two coats are recommended for optimal depth and durability, which halves the single-coat coverage area. Ensure application is not too thin, especially on the first coat.
Paint seems too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a very small amount of water can be added (check manufacturer guidelines, usually no more than 10%) to aid application, though this may slightly affect durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For particularly glossy surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also compatible with wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid use in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
Care: Once fully cured (allow several days), the paint is highly scrubbable. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing that could damage the finish.
