This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and home decorators seeking a versatile, high-quality paint for both indoor and outdoor projects. The key benefit is its durable, weatherproof matte finish that requires minimal prep, offering a quick and easy way to refresh furniture and surfaces. A caveat to note is that while suitable for most areas, it's not recommended for very wet zones like shower or bath surrounds. Frenchic Citrine Al Fresco is a multipurpose, water-based chalk and mineral paint in a spirited lime-toned green, celebrated for its self-priming, self-sealing properties, and ease of use on a wide range of materials.

Yes, it is weatherproof and hardwearing, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture and other exterior applications.
Two thin, even coats are recommended for a long-lasting, durable finish.
It can be used on ceramic wall tiles but is not recommended for very wet areas like shower or bath surrounds due to constant water exposure.
No, this paint is self-priming, significantly reducing the need for preparatory priming coats on most surfaces.
Clean your brushes immediately after use with water.
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, meaning it is safe for use on children's toys.
It provides a beautiful, sophisticated matte finish.
A 250ml tin covers approximately 2m² with a single coat, or about 1m² with the recommended two coats.
Ensure the surface was clean and free from grease/dust. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff sand might be beneficial. Ensure the previous finish was sound.
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush and maintain a wet edge. Avoid over-brushing. Consider using a synthetic brush for best results with water-based paints.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, add a very small amount of water (no more than 5%) to improve flow, but avoid over-thinning.
Ensure consistent application of thin coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Stir paint thoroughly before and during application.
Preparation:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. For most surfaces, no priming or sanding is needed. For highly glossy surfaces or areas prone to heavy wear, a light scuff sand may improve adhesion. Ensure previously painted or varnished surfaces are sound.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Apply two thin, even coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats (typically 1-2 hours, but check ambient conditions). Frenchic Citrine Al Fresco can be applied to furniture, woodwork, laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (avoiding very wet areas), kitchen cupboards, front doors, and interior wood and concrete floors.
Care:
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing to maintain the finish.
Compatibility:
This paint is suitable for interior and exterior use. It is compatible with most standard painting tools. It is not recommended for direct use in shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to constant water exposure.
