Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Trim Paint in 'Victory Lane' is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and furniture flippers looking to achieve a durable, soft-satin finish on interior woodwork and furniture. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formulation requiring no primer or topcoat, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that the coverage is based on two coats for durability, meaning one tin covers a smaller area than initially apparent.

FAQs

Do I really need a primer and topcoat with this paint?

No, Frenchic Trim Paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you typically do not need a separate primer or topcoat.

How much area does a 500ml tin cover?

A 500ml tin covers up to 7m² with a single coat. However, Frenchic recommends two coats for a more durable finish, meaning approximately 3.5m² coverage is expected per tin when applying two coats.

Is this paint suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it is suitable for various furniture, including kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture, both wood and laminate.

Can I use this paint on metal radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for application on powder-coated radiators.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes with warm, soapy water immediately after finishing your painting session.

How long should I wait before cleaning painted surfaces?

It's best to allow the paint to cure for at least 14 days before cleaning painted surfaces, and then use only a slightly damp cloth.

What makes this paint safe for children's toys?

The paint is EN71-3 certified, a European safety standard that ensures it is safe for use on toys as it contains low levels of harmful substances.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent brush strokes and maintain a wet edge.

Paint not drying

Check environmental conditions; high humidity or low temperatures can slow drying. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly.

Scuff marks appearing quickly

Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 14 days before heavy use. Ensure two coats were applied for optimal durability.

Pros and Cons

  • Water-based, low VOC, and low odour for a better user experience.
  • Certified safe for use on children's toys.

Cons

  • Coverage stated is for two coats, effectively halving the area covered per tin compared to a single coat.
  • Requires careful application to avoid brush marks due to its self-sealing nature.
  • May not adhere well to poorly prepared or excessively glossy surfaces without minimal prep.
  • Drying times between coats can still be a factor for project completion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and furniture (including wood and laminate). It is also EN71-3 certified for use on children's toys.

Care: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with warm soapy water. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish. For maximum durability, allow at least 14 days for the finish to cure fully before subjecting it to heavy wear.
