Frenchic Trim Paint - White

No, Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you typically do not need separate primer or top coats for most applications. However, ensuring proper surface preparation is crucial.

One 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. Since two coats are recommended for durability, you can expect coverage of about 3.5m² per 500ml tin for a finished project.

It provides a soft-satin sheen, which is a subtle, low-lustre finish that is pleasing to the eye and practical for various surfaces.

Yes, it is suitable for furniture, including kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture, whether they are wood or laminate. Its scuff-resistant finish makes it a good choice for cabinetry.

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, which means it is safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

Clean painted surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Drying times can vary based on conditions, but it is typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours. For best durability, allow it to cure fully for approximately 7 days before heavy use.

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. If still very thick, a *very* small amount of water (e.g., 1 teaspoon per 500ml) can be added, but do so sparingly as over-thinning can affect durability.

The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded for better grip. Ensure the paint has fully cured before putting the item into heavy use.

This can happen if only one coat was applied or if the paint was not stirred adequately. Apply a second, even coat. Ensure consistent brush strokes and adequate paint loading on the brush.
