Would you like to update the look of your kitchen quickly and easily? Painting your kitchen backsplash with paints from the Frenchic Al Fresco range is a quick, easy, and affordable way to refresh your kitchen's appearance without a major renovation.

Why paint your kitchen backsplash?

Painting the kitchen backsplash is an excellent solution if you're looking for a fresh new look or want to easily update the color scheme. Painting the backsplash saves money and avoids expensive renovations. A fresh, clean painted surface looks modern, and you could also replace old backsplash lights with new, efficient, energy-saving LED lights. 

How to get it right - step-by-step backsplash painting:

1. Cleaning is the most important step
Thoroughly clean the backsplash of grease and dirt using a powerful degreaser, such as Sugar Soap. Remove the old silicone sealant at the same time and replace it after painting. 

2. Protect surfaces carefully
Use masking tape and protective paper to clearly define the area to be painted and keep the surrounding surfaces clean.

3. Priming ensures durability
Depending on the backsplash material, you can apply Frenchic Paint paint directly or use a primer to ensure a particularly durable finish.

4. Painting - apply thin coats
Apply the first coat of paint thinly and evenly. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Let it dry for at least 2 hours.

5. Apply a second coat
Apply a second coat and let it dry as instructed. You may need a third coat if there's a big difference between the base color and the paint color you've chosen. Fortunately, Frenchic paints dry quickly, so you can finish in a day.

6. Finishing and cleanup
Remove the masking only once the paint is completely dry, and tidy up the edges if needed. Let the paint dry and cure undisturbed. 

Tips for a successful paint job:

• Thorough cleaning ensures the paint adheres to the surface.
  * Allowing enough drying time between coats ensures a beautiful result.
  * Thoroughly mixing the paint ensures the right color and coverage
• Protect the painted surface near the oven from hot steam with a glass panel or Tuff Top Coat
