FAQs

Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?

No, Frenchic Lazy Range paint is self-priming and self-sealing, designed to eliminate the need for separate primers and topcoats.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture or toys?

Yes, this paint is certified safe for children's toys (EN71-3), making it an excellent choice for items in nurseries or playrooms.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a durable, matte finish, perfect for a contemporary look on interior furniture and other suitable surfaces.

How much area does a 750ml tin cover?

A 750ml tin covers up to 12.5m² per coat. For a durable two-coat finish on non-porous surfaces, it covers approximately 6m².

Can I use this paint outdoors?

This specific Frenchic Lazy Range paint is formulated for interior use only to achieve its stated durability and finish.

What should I do if my surface is very porous?

Porous surfaces, such as raw wood, may require more paint and potentially an extra coat to achieve full coverage and a durable finish. Always apply in thin, even layers.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

As it's a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be easily cleaned with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. For very glossy or slick surfaces, a light scuff sanding prior to painting can significantly improve adhesion. Avoid applying paint to dusty or oily surfaces.

Coverage seems poor, or the finish is uneven.

Porous surfaces absorb more paint. Apply additional thin coats, allowing ample drying time between each. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use, and apply evenly without overworking the brush/roller.

Subtle colour difference between tins on the same project.

Always check batch numbers before starting. If using multiple tins with different batch numbers, mix them together in a larger container before applying to ensure a consistent colour across the entire project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation

Clean Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or flaking old paint. Use a good degreaser if painting kitchen cupboards.
Light Sanding (Optional but Recommended): For very smooth or glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand can help with adhesion, though the paint is self-priming.
Stir Thoroughly: Before use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.

Application

Apply Thin Coats: Apply paint with a good quality brush or roller in thin, even coats.
Allow Drying Time: Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Info needed: *Exact drying time between coats*.
Two Coats for Durability: For a durable finish on non-porous surfaces, two coats are recommended. Porous surfaces may require additional coats.

Compatibility

Interior Furniture: Ideal for wooden furniture, dressers, tables.
Wood Trim & Skirting: Excellent for refreshing architectural details.
Doors: Suitable for interior doors.
Kitchen Cupboards: Transforms kitchen cabinetry with a durable finish.
Laminate Surfaces: Can be used on certain laminate surfaces, ensure proper cleaning and light sanding for best adhesion.
Children's Toys: Certified safe (EN71-3) for children's items.

Care

Tool Cleanup: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Paint Storage: Store the tin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Batch Numbers: If using multiple tins for a project, check batch numbers to ensure colour consistency. If batch numbers differ, mix paints together before use to avoid subtle colour variations.
