Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and furniture upcyclers looking for a durable, easy-to-use paint for interior projects. The key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, requiring no primer or top coat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is its specific formulation for trim and furniture, which may not be ideal for large wall areas without testing. Frenchic Anguilla Trim Paint is a water-based chalk and mineral paint offering a soft-satin sheen, designed for simple application on various interior surfaces including woodwork, furniture, and even radiators. It features a robust, scuff-resistant finish, is low in VOCs and odour, and is safe for children's toys.

FAQs

Do I really need a primer and top coat with this paint?

No, Frenchic Anguilla Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you typically do not need separate primer or top coat layers for most applications.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

We recommend applying two coats for a more durable and robust finish. This will also ensure the best colour depth and coverage.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It's suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, radiators, metal, and various furniture items including kitchen cupboards and laminate surfaces. It's also certified safe for children's toys.

How should I clean painted surfaces?

Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, especially during the initial curing period.

What is the coverage rate?

A 500ml tin covers approximately 7m² with a single coat. For a durable finish requiring two coats, expect to cover around 3.5m².

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior use only.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

Frenchic Anguilla Trim Paint provides a soft-satin sheen.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Check that no incompatible products were used as a primer or base.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.

Paint seems too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for your liking, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added, but this may affect the finish. Ensure the paint has not been stored in extreme temperatures.

Scuff marks appearing too soon

Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days before heavy use. Ensure two coats were applied for optimal protection and durability.

Pros and Cons

  • Water-based, low VOC, and low odour for a safer and more pleasant user experience.

  • Safe for use on children's toys due to EN71-3 certification.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for trim and furniture; performance on large wall areas may vary.
  • Requires two coats for optimal durability, effectively halving the coverage per tin for a finished job.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For best adhesion, a light clean with sugar soap or a similar degreaser is recommended. No priming is required.

Compatibility:

This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, radiators (powder-coated and metal), and a variety of furniture including wood, laminate, and kitchen cupboards. It is also safe for use on children's toys (EN71-3 certified).

Care:

Allow at least 24 hours for the paint to cure before subjecting it to heavy use. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, especially in the initial curing period. A second coat is recommended for maximum durability. Coverage is approximately 7m² per litre per coat (500ml covers approx. 3.5m² with two coats).
