FAQs

Do I need to prime before using Frenchic Trim Paint?

No, it's self-priming, so you don't need a separate primer.

Do I need to apply a topcoat?

No, it's self-sealing, so a topcoat is not required.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and furniture including kitchen cupboards.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

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

How much area will a 500ml tin cover?

A 500ml tin will provide a coat of up to 7m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 500ml tin should provide full coverage for 3.5m² on non-porous surfaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

It has a soft-satin sheen.

What is the best way to ensure consistent colour across multiple tins?

When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning, sanding (if necessary), and priming if the surface is particularly non-porous.

The finish is not durable.

Apply a minimum of two coats. Ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next one.

Uneven colour or coverage.

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding thick application. Porous surfaces may require additional coats.
