FAQs

Do I need to prime or seal Frenchic Lazy Range Paint?

No, Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is self-priming and self-sealing. This means you don't need a separate primer before painting or a top coat/sealer afterwards, simplifying your project.

How many coats of paint are required?

A minimum of two coats is required to achieve a durable finish. On highly porous surfaces, you may need additional coats for full coverage and durability.

What is the coverage like for a 750ml tin?

A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m². For a durable finish requiring a minimum of two coats, it should provide full coverage for approximately 6m² on non-porous surfaces.

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

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

Can I use this paint in my kitchen?

Yes, it is suitable for interior wood work, including kitchen cupboards (both wood and laminate), providing a durable matte finish.

Is this paint low in VOCs and odour?

Yes, it is a water-based paint with low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and low odour, making it a more pleasant and environmentally friendly choice for indoor painting.

What should I do if I need more than one tin of paint for my project?

It is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix all batches prior to commencing painting. This helps ensure consistent color across your entire project.

Can I use this paint for outdoor projects?

No, Frenchic Lazy Range Paint is specifically formulated for interior furniture and woodwork. It is not recommended for exterior use.

Troubleshooting

Paint finish appears streaky or thin.

Ensure you are applying in thin, even coats. Thicker coats can lead to streaks. Also, confirm you've applied a minimum of two coats for optimal coverage and opacity.

Paint is not as durable as expected.

Durability is best achieved with at least two coats. Applying a single, very thin coat may compromise the self-sealing properties. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Color variation between different tins of the same paint.

Always intermix paint from different tins into a larger container before starting your project. This ensures a uniform color across the entire piece, especially for larger surfaces.

Poor coverage on porous surfaces.

Porous surfaces like unfinished wood will absorb more paint. Expect to apply additional coats (3-4 may be necessary) to achieve full opacity and a durable finish on such surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose dirt, grease, or flaking paint. A light sand is often beneficial but not always strictly necessary due to the paint's self-priming nature.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and periodically during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and color distribution.
  3. Application: Apply with a brush or roller. Work in thin, even coats.
  4. Batch Consistency: If using multiple tins for one project, especially on larger items, intermix them before starting to ensure absolute color consistency across the entire piece.
  5. Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time between coats. This typically ranges from 1-2 hours depending on humidity and temperature, but always refer to the tin for specific recommendations.

Compatibility

  • Interior Furniture: Perfect for wardrobes, tables, chairs, dressers, and bedside cabinets.
  • Interior Woodwork: Suitable for trims, skirting boards, door frames, and internal doors.
  • Kitchen Areas: Can be used on kitchen cupboards, both wood and laminate, for a fresh look.
  • Children's Items: Its EN71-3 certification makes it safe for use on children's toys and nursery furniture.
  • Not Recommended For: Exterior use or surfaces subjected to extreme heat or continuous water immersion.

Care

  • Cleaning: Info needed: [General cleaning instructions for painted surfaces, such as using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for spills.]
  • Protection: While durable, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the matte finish.
  • Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of paint for future touch-ups if minor damage occurs.
