FAQs

How much coverage can I expect from a 750ml tin?

A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for 6m² on non-porous surfaces. Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, Frenchic Al Fresco paint is weatherproof and designed for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Do I need to prime before painting?

No, Frenchic Al Fresco paint is self-priming, saving you time and effort.

Is it safe to use on children's toys?

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

For a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is recommended.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for furniture, woodwork, laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles, kitchen cupboards, front doors and interior wood and concrete floors.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

The paint has a matte finish.

What should I do if I need more than one tin of paint?

When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded). Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Uneven finish.

Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing. Ensure the paint is well-stirred before application.

Paint is chipping or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation and apply at least two coats. Avoid using in very wet areas. Consider the surface type, i.e., porous surfaces will affect coverage.
