Al Fresco Inside/Outside Range
Frenchic is bringing the inside out with this durable, weatherproof chalk paint range specifically developed to protect and transform your garden furniture but perfectly fabulous for indoors too!
Self priming, self sealing with a very low, almost flat finish, it is suitable for wood, laminate, UPVC and composites and metal. Self levelling, meaning little to no brush marks. Very low VOC, it has also gone through rigorous testing to be certified safe for use on children's toys (EN 71:3).
Preparation:
All surfaces should be clean and dry. Previous coatings, loose of flaking paint should be removed prior to painting.
Application:
Before applying give your paint a stir so that the weatherproofing material mixes with the paint.
Minimum of 2 coats required allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second.
If painting outside ensure that conditions during application and cure are favourable, do not apply if there is a likelihood of rain.
Allow to dry overnight before exposing to the extreme Singapore weather.
Dry:
Product will be touch dry in 1 hour and you will be able to apply the second coat after a minimum of 2 hours in normal weather conditions. There is no maximum time to apply the second as long as the surface is clean and in sound condition. On areas subject to wear, such as garden furniture, allow a few days before heavy use or contact with soft furnishings.
Coverage:
A 750ml can of Al Fresco paint covers approximately 7.5m2 per coat. Coverage will vary depending on the condition of the surface. Rougher wood will reduce the coverage.
