Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic French Shutter Wall Paint in 'Ooh-la-la' (a duck egg green with grey undertones) is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable, washable, and low-odor paint for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the ultra-matte, scrubbable finish that minimizes prep work as it's self-priming and self-sealing. A potential caveat for some users might be the limited colour palette within this specific product listing, although the range boasts over 150 colours overall.

FAQs

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 2.5L tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. For best results and deeper color, two coats are recommended, providing coverage of approximately 17.5m².

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

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

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. You can clean it with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.

What does 'low VOC' mean for this paint?

Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air, resulting in virtually no odor and a healthier environment during and after painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is streaky.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Check if the paint was stirred sufficiently. Consider if the surface is unsuitable (e.g., excessively glossy or waxy).

The finish appears uneven after drying.

This can sometimes occur if the paint was applied too thickly or not evenly brushed/rolled. Ensure consistent application technique. Light sanding and a further thin coat may resolve minor issues.

Drying time seems longer than expected.

Drying times can be affected by temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and within the recommended temperature range for application.

Color does not match expectations.

Colors can appear different under various lighting conditions. Check the paint swatch in the intended room. Ensure you are using the correct shade and have applied the recommended number of coats.
