  • Weatherproof and hardwearing
  • Matte finish
  • Self-priming
  • Self-sealing
  • Water-based

Suitable for
Multipurpose paint for interior and exterior use. Recommended for furniture and woodwork. Laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (we recommend avoiding very wet areas like showers/bath surrounds), kitchen cupboards, front doors and interior wood and concrete floors.

The Technical Stuff

  • Safe for use on children's toys - EN71-3 certified
  • Contains: Chalk, Clay, Titanium Dioxide, Resin, Talcum, Preservative

Coverage

  • 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
  • Thinner application may affect durability
  • Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats
  • Always ensure you have enough paint for your whole project. 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

How to use

Preparation

  • Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting and clean, dry, free from wax, grease or penetrating substances and in sound condition. 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
  • Recommended surface preparation in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse, dry, hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface and/or to smooth any protrusions after filling. Wipe off any dust
  • You can watch our video on how to prep surfaces for painting here
  • 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
  • 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)
  • For exterior projects, avoid painting in direct sunlight, only when the air and surface temperatures are between 10°C and 32°C 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 10°C. This means that certain times of the year are unsuitable for painting outside projects - as a general rule of thumb Summer is recommended
  • Allow a minimum of 2 hours between coats (even if the paint feels touch dry)
  • Curing time is up to 2-3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat the newly painted surface with care until then
  • 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/rollers in warm, soapy water
  • Do not store where the tin could be subjected to damp, frost, freezing or high temperatures
