Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Heavenly Blue Wall Paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-use, and visually appealing finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the self-priming, self-sealing, and scrubbable formula that minimizes preparation and simplifies maintenance. A potential caveat is that the ultra-matte finish, while beautiful, may require careful application to avoid showing brush marks.

FAQs

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you can apply it directly to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is fully scrubbable. You can clean marks and stains using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What surfaces can this paint be used on?

It is ideal for interior walls and ceilings. It can also be used on wooden furniture, woodwork, floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, radiators, uPVC, and ceramic tiles.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and general interior use. For very wet areas like shower surrounds or bath areas, it is not recommended.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² per coat. Two coats are recommended, so expect coverage of approximately 17.5m² for a two-coat finish.

Is the paint safe for use around children?

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

What is the finish like?

The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and sophisticated.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, it is water-based with low VOCs and has virtually no odor, making it pleasant to use indoors.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or stringy

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (up to 5%) may be added for application, though this is rarely necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent pressure. For ultra-matte finishes, it is best to work in one direction and avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a high-quality synthetic brush.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Remove any old flaking paint or contaminants. For difficult surfaces like melamine, a light sanding may be beneficial.

Coverage seems poor

Ensure at least two coats are applied as recommended. For significant color changes, a third coat might be necessary.
