Frequently Asked Questions about this product
Which brush should I use?
For the best result, a good brush is essential. A good brush ensures optimal absorption and release of the paint, creating an even layer on the surface. We recommend the VP Gold Mix Fibre brush, which contains the right synthetic fibres for the best result. This brush is made up of a combination of selected synthetic fibres.
Which paint roller should I use?
A good paint roller is essential for a seamless painting result. A quality roller won’t leave lint in your paintwork. To achieve a smooth and seamless finish, the absorption and release of the paint are crucial. We recommend the VP Superflock Acrylic Roller for working with acrylic lacquer or paint.
When should I use it?
Sigma S2U Nova is suitable for protecting all indoor woodwork, such as doors, stairs, and window frames. Sigma S2U Nova is an easy-to-use product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Advantages of water-based lacquer
For indoor work, acrylic lacquer is the ideal product. This lacquer doesn’t produce strong odours during application in your home, and since it doesn’t contain white spirit, your colours won’t yellow over time.
What is the difference between Sigma S2U and Sigma Contour?
Sigma is a large and well-known brand worldwide. Sigma sells its products under different names in different countries. Sigma S2U is the Dutch line, while Sigma Contour is the name used in Germany for products with the same properties and quality.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sigma lacquers is 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, our experience shows that most painters achieve a coverage of 10 to 12 m² per litre with Sigma lacquer. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little.
In which colours can it be mixed?
We can mix any colour with our mixing system. To mix your desired colour, simply select it in our colour selector or contact us. For mixing Sigma paints and lacquers, we exclusively use the official Sigma mixing machine, including the corresponding pigments.

What is LTA+ Technology?
The LTA+ technology acts as a shield thanks to its special binder combinations. This shield protects the lacquer from skin oils and wear. Skin oils have minimal effect on the paint layer, and any oils that do penetrate do not adhere to the lacquer. Thanks to LTA+, the lacquer remains hard even after prolonged exposure to skin oils. Ideal for homes with active lifestyles.
Which Gloss Level Do You Recommend?
For exterior lacquer, high gloss is the most suitable. High gloss lacquer has a longer lifespan. The surface is smooth, which means less dirt adheres to the lacquer. Additionally, it is easier to clean. Gloss is always indicated with a number.
A high gloss lacquer should have a gloss level of 60 to 90. Satin gloss has a gloss level of 30 to 60, and matte paint should remain below 30. These values are measured by the manufacturer. In some cases, we recommend satin gloss lacquer. This is advised when the surface is not 100% perfect. Less experienced DIYers also often choose satin gloss paint as it hides minor imperfections more effectively.
High gloss (60-90): Ideal for exterior work
Satin gloss (30-60): Ideal for surfaces with imperfections
Matte paint (less than 30): Ideal for interior work
Which Primer Do I Need?
Primer and undercoat serve the same purpose. It’s simply an alternative term for what it does: ensuring good adhesion for the final product. Additionally, it is cost-effective for absorbent surfaces. A primer reduces the absorbency of surfaces, allowing more square metres to be covered per litre of paint. This ultimately ensures the best final result and saves costs.
Are There Alternatives?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi Gloss: This is a similar type of lacquer that can be used both indoors and outdoors due to its resistance to yellowing. Did you know that all alkyd-based paints used indoors without a “dark yellowing resistance” will always yellow? Keep this in mind. This Semi Gloss has a different gloss level, sitting between high gloss and satin gloss.
VP Platina Aqua Satin: This is an interior lacquer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you.
VP Platina Aqua Gloss: This product is the same as the Aqua Satin from our own brand. This is also a water-based interior lacquer with a good price-to-quality ratio. This lacquer has the highest gloss level and is therefore a high gloss lacquer that reflects light beautifully, giving your colour a stunning effect.
