FAQs

What surfaces can I use Cream Dream paint on?

You can use it on furniture, woodwork, laminate, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (avoiding very wet areas like showers/bath surrounds), kitchen cupboards, front doors, and interior wood and concrete floors.

Do I need to prime before painting?

No, Frenchic Al Fresco Furniture Paint is self-priming, so priming is not typically required. However, for particularly glossy surfaces, a primer may be beneficial.

How many coats of paint do I need?

A minimum of two coats is recommended for a durable finish. More coats may be required on porous surfaces.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

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

How do I clean the painted surface?

You can wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage of a 750ml tin?

A 750ml tin will cover up to 12.5m² with one coat. However, this may vary depending on the surface porosity. For a minimum of two coats, you should get coverage for about 6m² on non-porous surfaces.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface.
