Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in 'Hot Lips Red' is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a vibrant, durable, and easy-to-apply finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation, acting as primer, paint, and topcoat, saving time and effort. A minor consideration is that while self-sealing, achieving the most durable and richest color may benefit from two coats. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers excellent coverage and a scrubbable, ultra-matte finish, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas.

FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to cure fully?

While the paint may be touch dry within a couple of hours, it can take up to 7 days to fully cure and achieve its maximum scrubbable durability. Avoid heavy cleaning during this period.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds where it would be constantly exposed to water. Ensure good ventilation if using in a bathroom.

What is the coverage rate per liter?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For two recommended coats, you can expect to cover approximately 17.5m² per 2.5l tin.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

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

Do I need a separate primer or topcoat?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer or topcoat. However, two coats are recommended for best results.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth to wipe away marks. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use the 'Hot Lips Red' shade on furniture?

Yes, this paint is versatile and suitable for use on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, kitchen cupboards, and even metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces. Check for excessive moisture on the surface.

Uneven color or coverage

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply in thin, even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Ensure you are applying the recommended two coats for depth and consistency.

Brush marks are visible

Use a high-quality synthetic brush suitable for water-based paints. Apply paint in a consistent direction and avoid overworking it. Ensure paint is applied at the recommended temperature.

Paint appears too thick

Stir the paint well. If still very thick, a very small amount of water (no more than 5%) can be added, but this may affect durability and coverage. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Cons

Ultra-matte finish may show brush strokes more readily than glossier finishes.

Specific shade 'Hot Lips Red' might be too bold for some aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For new or porous surfaces, one coat may be sufficient, but for best results, two coats are recommended.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. For best coverage and a durable finish, apply two thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also compatible with wooden furniture, interior wood, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid direct contact with water in very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured, the paint is scrubbable (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating). Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the ultra-matte finish.
