FAQs

How many coats of Frenchic Chateau Chic paint are recommended?

Two coats are generally recommended for the best depth of colour and a more durable finish. However, coverage can vary based on the surface condition and colour being overcoated.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, it is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including kitchens and bathrooms. However, it is not recommended for use in very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds where it would be constantly exposed to water.

What is the coverage rate for this paint?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For two coats, you can expect to cover approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

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

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is typically touch dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours. Full curing takes approximately 7 days, after which it achieves its maximum scrubbability.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?

While it is self-priming, for very glossy surfaces, a light scuff-sand will help ensure optimal adhesion. Clean the surface thoroughly afterwards.

What is the difference between the Chateau Chic Wall Paint and the Trim Paint?

The Chateau Chic Wall Paint is designed for walls and ceilings with an ultra-matte finish. The Trim Paint has a soft-sheen finish and is intended for skirting boards, doors, frames, and furniture, allowing for colour matching across different surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of contaminants before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding might be needed.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Ensure paint is well-stirred and apply in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller and maintain a wet edge. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Colour appears different than expected

Lighting conditions can affect colour perception. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for full opacity. Consider purchasing a sample pot for testing in your specific environment.

Paint is difficult to spread

Ensure the paint is at room temperature and has been stirred thoroughly. If the paint is too thick, consider a very small amount of water (less than 10%) to aid application, though this may slightly affect coverage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces prep time due to self-priming and self-sealing properties.
  • Durable and scrubbable finish makes maintenance easy.
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOCs and minimal odour.
  • Achieves a sophisticated, high-end look with its ultra-matte finish.
  • Award-winning recognition adds consumer confidence.

Cons

  • May require more careful application on very porous surfaces to ensure even coverage.
  • While versatile, it's not recommended for extremely wet areas like shower interiors.
  • The ultra-matte finish can show brush strokes more readily if not applied carefully.
  • Colour matching across different Frenchic ranges (e.g., Trim Paint) is recommended for a cohesive look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For most interior walls and ceilings, no primer is required. If painting over glossy surfaces, a light scuff-sand may improve adhesion.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours).

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, primed wood, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid direct contact with water in showers or bath surrounds.

Care: Once fully cured (allow 7 days), the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean spills and marks with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
