Coverage:
A 2.5l paint container is enough for up to 35 m2.
To achieve a durable finish, at least 2 coats are required, so a 2.5l paint can covers about 17.5m2 with two coats.
For new plaster, the industry standard is to first apply a thin mist coat when spray painting, allowing Frenchic wall paint to be thinned with clean tap water up to 10%.
Porous and uneven surfaces affect coverage and paint consumption and may require additional coats.
If the color difference between the surface and the chosen shade is large, additional coats may be required.
Unmixed paint does not cover well, read more instructions in Painting Instructions.
Preparation:
Ensure that surfaces are in suitable condition for painting - clean, dry, unwaxed, degreased, free from other substances, and in good condition.
Make necessary preparations and protections well in advance before starting work.
Remove loose or peeling old paint.
Clean dirty surfaces with Sugar Soap, clean the surface, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Roughen the surface by hand or sand mechanically.
Wipe off dust and paint on a clean and dry surface
Be careful when opening the can lid - we recommend using the Frenchic paint can opener.
Stir the paint thoroughly from the bottom with a wide tool before the painting project and during long painting sessions.
Painting, paint drying, and curing:
Use only clean, intact, and high-quality tools for painting; brush or roller.
Also suitable for spray painting - thin about 10-15% (depending on your equipment) with clean tap water and apply the required number of coats.
The painted surface reaches its final hardnessin 2 weeks under normal conditions. Handle the freshly painted surface carefully until curing is complete.
Avoid scratching and damaging the freshly painted floor by not walking on the fully painted area for 4 hours after painting and then without shoes for the next 7 days. Also try to keep pets' claws off the freshly painted area during the paint drying and curing process. Do not let the surface get wet for at least a week. Continue care carefully for up to 3 weeks. In the future, care for your painted floor with non-scratching cleaning tools.
Storage and cleaning:
Always close the paint can lid tightly after use.
Protect the paint can from needles, pollen, and other debris when painting outdoors.
Clean splashes immediately with warm water.
Wash brushes in warm soapy water immediately after use.
Do not store paint cans in places where the paint can be exposed to moisture, frost, freezing, or high temperatures.
Instructions for choosing a shade:
Order a small 250ml test can to your home and test the shade before a larger project.
We strive for the best possible accuracy with the color samples on our pages. However, we cannot always guarantee perfect color reproduction because shades may appear differently on various devices, screen types, and device settings. Additionally, colors may appear differently at home due to lighting and environment, and they may vary depending on the texture and porosity of the surface. The best way to choose a shade is to visit a Frenchic retailer to see the shades in person or order a small 250ml sample can or a color sample sheet and try the paint yourself at home.
Make sure to reserve enough paint to complete the project. The industry standard advice is that if you need more than one can of paint, ensure they are from the same batch number or, if that is not possible, mix the paint batches before painting to ensure a uniform finish.
One coat of paint or thinned paint can negatively affect durability. Porous and uneven surfaces, such as fiberglass wallpaper or raw wood, usually require a bit more paint than the instructions suggest. All Frenchic series paints are applied at least twice. Examine the shade only when dry, after two coats as per instructions.
Remember that the nature of colors changes depending on lighting and adjacent colors. The color also appears differently on horizontal or vertical surfaces. Coverage and yield are also affected by the paint mixture and the color of the base.
