Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Kiss Me Sloely Trim Paint is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers looking to add a rich, purply-blue hue to interior woodwork, furniture, and more. Its key benefit is the simplified application process, as it's self-priming and self-sealing, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that the coverage stated is for one coat, and two are recommended for durability, effectively halving the area coverage per tin.

FAQs

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

No, this paint is self-priming, meaning you can apply it directly to most suitable surfaces after preparation.

Is a topcoat required after painting?

No, the paint is also self-sealing and provides a durable, robust finish on its own. Two coats are recommended for best results.

What is the coverage rate of the 500ml tin?

A 500ml tin covers up to 7m² per coat. For a more durable finish requiring two coats, you can expect coverage of approximately 3.5m².

Can this paint be used on exterior surfaces?

No, this particular paint is formulated for interior use only. Frenchic offers other ranges, like Al Fresco, for exterior projects.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, which means it is safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It provides a soft-satin sheen, which is a subtle, low-lustre finish.

How do I clean my painted surfaces?

Clean painted surfaces gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pads.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a *very* small amount of water can be added (less than 5%), but avoid over-thinning which can compromise the finish.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller. Apply paint with smooth, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Surface still shows imperfections after painting.

Ensure the surface was adequately prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Minor imperfections may require a light sanding and an additional thin coat of paint.

Paint is not adhering well.

The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Glossy surfaces may need light abrasion. Ensure no primer or topcoat was applied, as this paint is designed to be self-priming and self-sealing.
