Frenchic Al Fresco is a water based, washable and durable, interior/exterior chalk and mineral paint with very low VOCs. It has been specially developed for outdoor us but is now used equally as much indoors especially in areas where you may need extra durability. Little to no prep required (a good clean with our Sugar Soap and scuff sand is generally enough) and no need to add wax or finishing coat unless you wish to create a certain look or finish. Safe to use, even on childrens toys!
