Product Information

Full details

Frenchic Stirling Wall Paint in Green is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, easy-to-use paint for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a flawless, ultra-matte finish that is both washable and breathable, making maintenance simple. A potential caveat is that while self-priming and self-sealing, achieving the best depth of colour and durability may require two coats, impacting coverage per tin. This chalk and mineral paint offers excellent coverage and is recognized for its quality, having won awards from the Good Housekeeping Institute and Ideal Home Awards.

FAQs

Is Frenchic Stirling Wall Paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and general interior walls and ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to potential moisture issues.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning a separate primer is typically not required. However, for very challenging surfaces or drastic colour changes, a primer might offer additional benefits.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

While one coat offers coverage, two coats are recommended for a deeper colour and a more durable, scrubbable finish.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once the paint is fully cured (approximately 14 days), it is fully scrubbable. Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. With two recommended coats, expect coverage of approximately 17.5m² per 2.5l tin.

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

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

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint has an ultra-matte finish, providing a sophisticated and non-reflective look.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering well in a single coat.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared. Apply a second coat as recommended for optimal depth of colour and durability. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Marks are difficult to remove.

Allow the paint to fully cure (up to 14 days) for maximum scrubbability. If still an issue, try using a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Always test cleaning in a small, hidden area first.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Lightly sand cured imperfections and reapply if necessary.

Paint is too thick to apply.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick, a small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, though this may slightly affect coverage and durability. Ensure the paint has not been stored in freezing temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and flaking paint. For most surfaces, no primer is required. However, if painting over very dark or glossy finishes, or on problematic substrates, a suitable primer might be beneficial.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results and optimal colour depth and durability, two coats are recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines. The paint cures over time, achieving its maximum durability approximately 14 days after application.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also recommended for wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC.

Avoid: Very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care:

Once fully cured, the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
