Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Vintage Rosie Wall Paint in 2.5L is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a sophisticated, durable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is its all-in-one formulation, acting as self-priming and self-sealing, which significantly reduces preparation time and the need for multiple products. A potential caveat is its ultra-matte finish, which may show more imperfections than higher sheens if the surface is not properly prepared. This water-based paint offers excellent coverage and is washable, making it a practical choice for busy households.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
It is suitable for kitchen cupboards and can be used on interior walls and ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No, Frenchic Vintage Rosie Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning no separate primer is required for most suitable surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Remove any loose paint and reapply, ensuring all previous finishes (like waxes or oils) were removed or adequately primed for if necessary.
Uneven colour or finish after application
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking. Ensure consistent application technique between coats. Check that the surface is not porous or uneven, which can absorb paint differently.
Brush or roller marks are visible
Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matte finishes. Apply paint in a consistent direction, cutting in edges carefully. Avoid applying too thickly, and ensure even coverage.
Paint coverage seems poor
While coverage is excellent, achieving full opacity often requires two coats. Ensure you are applying an even layer and not spreading the paint too thinly. Darker colours may require more coats over very contrasting undercoats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. Minor repairs may be needed for significant imperfections.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Apply with a good quality brush or roller.
Apply a second coat for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Surfaces to Avoid: Very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds. Not recommended for exterior use.
Care:
Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) for maximum durability and scrubbability.
Clean spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Gently scrub if necessary, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the matte finish.
