Coverage

• A 500ml tin will provide a coat of up to 7m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 500ml tin should provide full coverage for 3.5m² on non-porous surfaces like laminate or metal.
• 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 500ml tin will provide less than 3.5m² of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected.

Preparation

• Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting – clean, dry, free from wax, grease or penetrating substances and in sound condition. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint.
• Surface preparation required in addition to the above –clean with sugar soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface. Wipe off any dust, paint away! For a great demonstration, see our video.
• 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 Frenchic brush or roller
• To allow self-levelling, avoid overworking the paint
• Allow a minimum of 4 hours between coats (even if the paint feels touch dry)
• Curing (hardening) time is up to 3 weeks in normal conditions. Treat gently until curing is complete

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 your nearest stockist to see the colours yourself.
