The list truly does continue, the paint is so versatile and what better time to upcycle your furniture than during a lockdown, eh?
Where can I buy?
- Local stockists
My advice would always be to shop directly on the Frenchic website. That way, if you have any issues with your order you totally cut out the middle man.
How much does Frenchic Paint cost?
Well there are several different ranges and the price is variable from £6.95 to £19.95.
How far does it spread?
A little goes a long way with Frenchic paint and it takes a couple of strokes to get used to product overload! I’m yet to get through an entire tin of anything.
Are Frenchic brushes worth it?
I have tried the Frenchic Large Oval Brush (which was very kindly sent to me with no obligation to post!) It is £16.95 and honestly I’m on the fence about if it’s worth the dosh… Personally I would say it’s not life changing with the way it applies product and I KNOW that I can purchase similar brushes for cheaper from my local DIY stores, I’ve also linked one here which is only a fiver from amazon.
That being said, it did wash really, really well and dried almost immediately. In that sense, yes the quality is superior to DIY stores own brushes. plus, you really look the part with the actual brush so I guess it’s a 50/50 from me. Purchase at your peril my darlings!

What exactly can I paint with the Frenchic then?
Anything. Yes, I am being serious. The Al Fresco Inside / Outside range is weatherproof, UV resistant, self priming, self sealing *takes deep breath*, low in VOC and is perfect for (but not limited to) the following projects:
- Exterior doors and window frames (wood, metal and UPVC)
- Plant pots
- Composites
- Outdoor play equipment (it’s certified safe for children’s toys)
- Furniture
- Kitchen cabinets
- Flooring
Pretty much anything you can think of, you can paint. Which brings me onto;
Do I need to prep and prime before I paint?
Now this massively depends on your project. I would always recommend you give your project a thorough clean and wipe down before starting any application of paint. You can use sugar soap and a cloth to rid your project of sticky debris, grease and grime!
Most of the paints come with a self prime and self seal, just take a read in the description before clicking purchase!
How long does it last?
Well I painted my internal doors with Blackjack some months back and I must say it’s faired extremely well. Not a single chip or crack and the finish is just gorgeous! It’s lived through renovation hell and for that I’ll give it 10/10
I also painted a few vases in the Lazy Range and they look brilliant, like they were bought that way! And the plus side is, you don’t have to touch it up!
So, we know you love Frenchic Paint but are there any negatives Chlo?
Yes. Yes there are! please see below my list of “cons” for this paint.
- The tin lid is near impossible to put back on once opened
- It dries incredibly fast and so your brush build up gets crumbly and crusty in no time
- Advertises as two coat however I would say three is perfect
- Frenchic does smell funny however it’s not disgustingly overpowering
- They don’t sell in the likes of Homebase, B&Q, Wickes and so it’s mostly online order.
My negatives for this paint are far outweighed by the positives.
