Application, drying and curing (hardening)
Paint in shaded areas when temperatures range between 10°C and 32°C, with humidity below 85%, and avoid painting if rain, frost, fog, or condensation is expected within 48 hours. Summer is generally the best time for outdoor projects.
Ensure exterior wooden surfaces are fully dry before painting, as they can retain moisture for up to 48 hours after rainfall or preparation.
For ferrous metal, remove rust and loose coatings, sand smooth, and apply 2 coats of Frenchic Finishing Coat before painting.
Use a high-quality brush or roller for application, or thin the paint with up to 15% tap water for spraying.
Avoid overworking the paint to allow for self-levelling.
Wait a minimum of 2 hours between coats, even if the paint feels dry to the touch.
Allow up to 3 weeks for the paint to fully cure in normal conditions, and handle delicately during this time.
For floors, avoid walking on the area for 4 hours after painting, then wear socks for the next 7 days. Keep pet claws off the surface and avoid getting it wet for at least a week. Treat with care for up to 3 weeks after painting.
