FRENCHIC Al Fresco COOL BEANS 250ml Furniture Paint

A brushstroke of absolute genius. I bought a 250ml pot of Frenchic Al Fresco Cool Beans paint. I intended to have a go at repainting my kitchen units and bought the smallest size just to see how this paint would look when applied. This tiny 250ml tin covered 10 doors and 5 drawers very well. It's unbelievable. Fantastic coverage, a little really does go a long way I've ordered more to give them all a second coat.. It's a pleasure to work with, easy to apply, no noticeable odour, no streaks or runs and dries very, very quickly. And the results are amazing. The colour is beautiful. I intend to buy this for my skirtings and walls soon. Expensive, but the coverage is fantastic and it's well worth the price difference in the visual results. If I could give 100 stars I would.

Love this paint, I painted my kitchen table and chairs they look class.

Amazing paint

I've used many chalk paints and this range is one of the best.This is a lovely neutral colour - described as a creamy taupe. In my grey kitchen it looks more pale grey tinged and in my neutral living room it is more creamy toned.It applies easily and quickly, and as it's self levelling it has a very smooth finish.I've only used it on smaller items, such as mirrors, picture frames, ornaments, candle sticks etc, so can't comment on how effective it is on larger areas/items but it is fab on all I've painted. I do use a coat of wax afterwards for a light sheen and extra protection and have had no chips or scratches. It is more expensive than others but it's worth it and a little paint goes a long way.

Perfect for my projects. Came quicker than expected

Love the consistency and the colour, I just repainted a drawer cabinet and came out great! The only mention would be that the paint claims to be odourless but as soon as I brought the cabinet into the house, the whole room was filled with paint vapours.

It’s not the color that is adverted

I've painted some mid century furniture with this paint and it has gone on an absolute dream. Preparation is key with this brand of paint, as is using one of the Frenchic brushes. I always used to buy cheap and replace after every project but I've used the same Frenchic brush for every project I've done (front door twice and about 8 different furniture projects). You have to treat the newly painted item with care for about 3 weeks until it cures. I've found that on smoother pieces of furniture (like IKEA) it chips very easily until it has fully cured.
