Product information: Waterproof, hardwearing and suitable for interior and exterior use Matte finish Self-priming Self-sealing Self-levelling Water based Chalk and mineral paint formulated for furniture and woodwork, laminate, powder coated radiators, UPVC, ceramic wall tiles, (we recommend avoiding very wet areas like shower/bath surrounds) kitchen cupboards, front doors, interior wood and concrete floors. Minimal VOC content with virtually no odour UKCA and EN71-3 certified (safe for use on children’s toys) EN71-3:2019 A1:2021 Finish – flat, almost no sheen Self-levelling – meaning little to no brush marks is achievable Coverage A 750ml tin will provide a single 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 just over 6m2 on non-porous surfaces. Porous, or ‘thirsty’ surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 750ml tin will provide less than 6m2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected. Preparation Ensure surface is in suitable condition for painting and free from grease, wax or penetrating substances. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint. Fill any holes/imperfections with a suitable filler Remove any rust and apply a suitable metal primer – also apply primer to bare ferrous (iron based) metal Surface preparation required in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface. Wipe off any dust. To promote a smooth finish, treat porous surfaces like bare MDF, with an application of 2 coats of Frenchic Finishing Coat prior to painting Exterior wooden surfaces in particular can retain moisture for up to 48 hours after rainfall or preparation. Ensure the surfaces are thoroughly dry prior to painting Take care on opening the tin lid – a Frenchic tin opener is recommended Stir thoroughly with a wide implement, such as a Paint Paddle, prior to each use. Application, drying and curing (hardening) Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Also suitable for spraying – thin with up to 15% tap water and apply additional coat(s) – such as Frenchic Brushes To allow self-levelling, avoid overworking the paint Also suitable for spraying – thinning may be required with tap water up to 15%, apply additional coat(s) Avoid painting in direct sunlight, only when the air and surface temperatures are between 10oC and 32oC and humidity is less than 85%. Do not apply if, in the following 48 hours, there is likelihood of rain, frost, fog, condensation or if the temperature is likely to drop lower than 10oC Exterior wooden surfaces in particular can retain moisture for up to 48 hours after rainfall or preparation. Ensure the items are thoroughly dry prior to painting.. Allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats (even if the paint feels touch dry). Curing (hardening) time is up to 2-3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat gently until curing is complete. For floors, to avoid damaging the finish, do not walk on the area for 4 hours after painting and then with socks for the next 7 days. Also, try to keep pet paw claws off as well during this period. Do not allow the surface to become wet for at least a week. Continue to treat with care for up to 3 weeks. Painted floors may require maintenance Clean up and storage Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water. Do not store where the tin could be subjected to damp, frost, freezing or high temperatures. Advice for choosing colours We make every effort to match our online colour swatches to the paint, but colours can vary depending on a number of factors, including screen settings. This means that we cannot guarantee the paint will exactly match what you see on screen. Please order a colour chart, small tin or sample sachet (where available) or visit us in store.
