This Frenchic Al Fresco paint in Jitterbug blue is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, versatile, and visually striking finish for both indoor and outdoor projects. Its key benefit is its multi-surface capability and weatherproof nature, allowing for consistent application across various materials. A minor caveat is its matte finish, which may not be ideal for areas requiring a high-gloss aesthetic or very frequent, heavy cleaning.

It is suitable for ceramic wall tiles, but not recommended for very wet areas such as shower surrounds or bath surrounds where constant moisture may affect the finish.
A 250ml tin will cover approximately 2 square meters (2m²).
Yes, this paint is suitable for metal, including powder-coated radiators.
No, the Frenchic Al Fresco range is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning a separate primer is not required. It also dries to a hard-wearing, matte finish, so a topcoat is generally not needed unless extra protection is desired in very high-traffic areas.
Clean your brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
Recoat time is typically 1-2 hours, and the paint cures to a hard finish over 24 hours. Full cure can take up to 7 days.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Consider a third coat if necessary.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease before application. For very slick surfaces, a light scuff sand might be beneficial prior to painting.
Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. Thick coats can extend drying times; apply thinner coats next time.
Colors can appear differently under various lighting conditions. Small test patches on the intended surface are recommended. The description notes a greenish hint in certain light.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease. While the paint is self-priming, a light sanding may improve adhesion on very slick surfaces like certain plastics or previously varnished wood. For best results, stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is recommended for furniture, woodwork, laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (avoiding constant wet areas), kitchen cupboards, front doors, and interior wood and concrete floors. It is safe for children's toys.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two to three thin coats are often recommended for best coverage and durability, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Allow at least 24 hours for the paint to cure fully.
Care: Clean tools and brushes with water immediately after use. For the painted surface, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The paint is hardwearing, but treat surfaces with care, especially in the initial curing period.
