Reseal tin after use. Clean up any spills immediately with water. Wash brushes in warm, soapy water. Rust-Oleum Chalky Furniture Paint works great over old paint, varnish and wax and is made in the UK, available in a 750ml tin Avoid painting in direct sunlight, only when the air and surface temperatures are between 10 oC and 32 oC 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 oC. This means that certain times of the year are unsuitable for painting outside projects - as a general rule of thumb Summer is recommended.

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 750ml tin will provide less than 6m 2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected. For ferrous metal, treat rust, remove any loose or flaking coatings and sand smooth - in these circumstances, we recommend 2 coats of Frenchic Finishing Coat as a base for the paint. A 750ml tin will provide a single coat of up to 12.5m 2. For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for just over 6m 2 on non-porous surfaces like laminate or metal. Limited Edition 500ml tins will provide a single coat of up to 8. 5m 2 . Easy to use with no priming or sanding required on most surfaces, revamp desks, wardrobes or an old chest of drawers effortlessly with a smooth, chalky matt finish

An Introduction To Frenchic’s Al Fresco Inside/Outside Range

Don’t have a headboard? Let pink do the work for you. Choose a statement colour like Auburn Flame for the larger section of your walls and top the upper half in a lighter tone for contrast. Paint a headboard in a shape that suits your bed in a third tonal colour. Use pale neutrals for trim and accessories, then dress your bed with shades of pink to enhance your fabulous walls. Trying to paint a design? You could use masking tape, but it has a tendency to bleed. Invest in decorator’s tape which will give your edges a beautifully crisp finish. All shades of grey go with blush pink, meaning there's a colour combination for all settings. Stronger, more dominant shades of grey from charcoal to slate grey take on blush pink as a soft accent shade, best used for accessories throughout the living room to break up the strong colour scheme.
