Coverage
A 750ml tin provides coverage of up to 12.5m² per coat, depending on the surface and application method.
For a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is required.
On suitably prepared non-porous surfaces, such as laminate or metal, a 750ml tin should provide approximately 6m² of coverage when applying two coats.
Porous surfaces, including bare wood and MDF, may absorb more paint and require additional coats to achieve the desired finish and durability.
Coverage on porous surfaces may therefore be less than 6m² per 750ml tin when applying the required coats.
Avoid applying the paint too thinly, as insufficient coating thickness may affect durability.
Actual coverage depends on surface porosity, preparation, application thickness and the desired finish.
Surface Preparation
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, sound and free from wax, grease, loose paint and other contaminants before painting.
Remove loose or flaking paint from previously painted surfaces.
Clean thoroughly using Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse and allow the surface to dry completely.
Lightly sand surfaces as appropriate to provide a suitable key for paint adhesion.
Remove all sanding dust before applying paint.
For bare MDF and other highly porous surfaces, additional preparation may be required to achieve a smooth and even finish.
For a smoother finish on bare MDF, Frenchic recommends applying two coats of Frenchic Finishing Coat before painting.
For bare or rusty ferrous metal, remove rust and loose coatings before applying an appropriate metal primer in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Some previously treated or difficult surfaces may require specialist preparation or additional priming.
Take care when opening the tin and use a suitable paint tin opener.
Stir thoroughly with a wide implement, such as a Frenchic Paint Paddle, before each use.
When using multiple tins on the same project, check batch numbers and intermix paint from different batches where necessary to maintain colour consistency.
Application and Drying
Apply using a good-quality paintbrush or roller suitable for furniture painting.
For spray application, the paint may be thinned with up to 15% tap water where permitted by the manufacturer's instructions and suitable for the equipment being used.
Additional coats may be required when the paint has been thinned for spraying.
Avoid repeatedly brushing over the paint as it begins to dry to allow the self-levelling formula to minimise brush marks.
Allow a minimum of 1 hour between coats, even if the surface feels touch dry.
Apply at least two coats to achieve a durable finish.
Additional coats may be necessary depending on surface porosity, colour change and the required finish.
Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before returning furniture to normal use.
Curing and Durability
Frenchic Lazy Range generally requires approximately 2–3 weeks to fully cure and achieve its intended hardness under normal conditions.
Handle painted furniture carefully during the curing period.
Avoid heavy use, abrasion, excessive cleaning and prolonged moisture exposure until the coating has fully cured.
Keep soft furnishings away from freshly painted surfaces for at least 48 hours.
For frequently used surfaces, such as kitchen cupboards, tables and drawers, allow sufficient curing time before returning them to heavy use.
Once fully cured, the wax-infused coating provides a water-resistant finish suitable for everyday indoor furniture use.
Cleaning and Storage
Reseal the tin securely after use.
Clean up spills promptly using water.
Wash brushes, rollers and equipment in warm, soapy water immediately after painting.
Store the tin securely in a dry location, protected from damp, frost, freezing conditions and excessive heat.
