Frenchic Furniture Paint for Wood, New & Improved Lazy Range - Creme de la Creme - 750ml

🛍️ Why Did I Buy This? Feeling a little bit of DIY ambition and aiming for that rustic woodwork look, I decided to give this a go. ⭐ The Good This stuff is brilliant . An absolute must-have. Full disclaimer: I actually tried another brand’s base coat first. It sort of worked, but the wax I used (also frenchic) over the top rubbed off within a week. With this one? Solid as a rock. It’s stayed put beautifully and somehow leaves this gorgeous undertone that makes the wood look even woodier (if that’s a word). Honestly, it’s like witchcraft in a tin. Absolute great value for money . Brilliant coverage + dries quickly . 👎 The Bad Honestly? Nothing bad to say. Save yourself the headache (and the sore wrist from sanding your poor furniture back to life again) and just buy this. ⚖️ The Grey Area No grey here . Just glowing approval. For the love of your wrists and your time, buy it. 💭 The Verdict Would I purchase again? A resounding yes! Although to be fair, it goes on so well I haven’t needed to yet. Would I recommend to a friend? 100% yes! They genuinely didn’t believe me when I said it was painted wood until I proved it. I slapped some on a random bit of MDF, had a coffee while it dried, added the wax and voilà. Absolute sorcery.

I had seen a number of adverts for this paint for the last year or so and finally decided to give it a go on a white MDF windowsill that collects my dog's hairs like it's a full time job! I used Frenchic Creme de la Creme followed by their Browning Wax. Both were very reasonable in terms of price. I purchased two wax brushes from a separate supplier and already had paint brushes on hand. I wiped everything down then applied the paint. The paint flowed really nicely across the wood with a matt finish, very easy to apply, and dried within about half an hour between coats. There was no nasty smell as with normal paint which was great. I then applied the browning wax with the wax brushes and thought I would struggle to get the finish right but it came out perfectly and was surprisingly easy. The windowsill now looks like it's a quality piece of oak rather than the ugly and stained sill that it was before. I have also used it on our banister and it really adds a tough of class where things might have previously looked budget.

I transformed my black kitchen beams with this chalk paint and Frenchic browning wax. Nobody can believe they are painted! They look like natural wood now. Very good!

Heat paint worth the money

Lovely paint especially if you are an amateur
