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.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded. Consider using a primer on particularly glossy surfaces.

Paint is chipping or peeling.

Make sure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint has fully cured. Apply additional coats.

Ensure you're applying thin, even coats. Porous surfaces may require more coats. Stir paint well before use.
