Another Frenchic project

[Macca04]

They all look lovely I would love to do that with my fireplace. Might give it a go we were going to replace it anyway so if it doesn’t work out we’ll not be any worse off. Just not very arty 😩

All these pictures look great and has spurred me on!

I've only used it the once (table pic above) as only discovered thus paint in the last couple of weeks but did lots of research beforehand. I lightly sanded table, cleaned with sugar soap and painted using soft paintbrush once dry. You're supposed to put it on very very thinly like ur running out of paint; apparently if after the 1st coat you don't get the `≈≈≈ have I done` finish then you've done it wrong! Took 3 coats then touched up a couple of areas 😊

Just sugar soap then rinse leave to fully dry before painting. I would lightly sand any loose paint if there was any. Frenchic doesn't need any primer or after coat but needs 3 weeks to fully cure as its chalk paint and will rub if touched before the 3 weeks are up. Normally takes 2 coats which can be done an hour apart. Brushes rinsed in water. Its fantastic paint.

You don't need to be arty that would look lovely painted. Just apply thinly rather than trying to thick coat. After the first coat you'll prob think what have I done. The second coat goes on amazing.

Yes. I use Al fresco for outside. I did the garage door and picnic bench in that.
