FAQs
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning it adheres well to most surfaces without a separate primer. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
While some coverage may be visible with one coat, two coats are generally recommended for optimal colour depth, durability, and to ensure a uniform finish.
What is the coverage rate?
A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with one coat. For two coats, expect coverage of approximately 17.5m².
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including bathrooms, due to its scrubbable finish. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, this paint is suitable for various surfaces including wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and even interior uPVC.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and offers a sophisticated look.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once cured, the surface can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or a sponge and mild soap. It has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating.
Is the paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms. It is also water-based with low VOCs and virtually no odour.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free of grease or dust. Glossy surfaces may require light sanding for better grip.
Streaky or uneven finish
Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller application. Ensure adequate paint is on the applicator. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Coverage seems poor after one coat
Apply a second coat as recommended. The ultra-matte finish and deep colour often benefit significantly from two coats for full opacity and true colour depth.
Difficulty cleaning marks
Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting heavy cleaning. Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth.
