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.
Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss is also suitable for interior painting. Usually, a satin lacquer is used for this, such as Sikkens Rubbol Finura Satin. The gloss level of paint is often a matter of personal taste. Nowadays, we see more and more customers opting for a high gloss or matte finish indoors. With Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss, this is no problem, and it will make your stairs, doors, or window frames shine beautifully.
A high gloss lacquer should have a gloss level of 60 to 90. A satin finish 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 a satin lacquer. This is advised when the surface is not 100% smooth. Inexperienced DIYers also often choose satin lacquer, as it is easier to hide small imperfections in the surface.
High Gloss (60-90): Ideal for outdoor work
Satin (30-60): Ideal for surfaces with imperfections
Matte Paint (less than 30): Ideal for indoor work
Which primer do I need?
Choosing the right primer is easy! However, it does depend on the surface to be painted. Here are the different paint systems for applying Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss:
Bare wood: Bare wood must first be primed. Use the Sikkens Rubbol Primer, and then finish with Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss.
Existing paintwork: If the existing paintwork is still in good condition, no primer is needed. If the paintwork is less smooth and intact, we recommend filling and sanding everything, then applying Sikkens Rubbol Primer before finishing with Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss.
Plastic or metal: Plastic and metal are surfaces that are difficult to adhere to. The Sikkens Rubbol Primer will not adhere to these surfaces, so you will need a multiprimer. After this, you can perfectly finish with Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss.
Are there alternatives?
Sikkens Rubbol Finura Satin: This is a satin lacquer that can be applied both indoors and outdoors due to its resistance to yellowing in darker conditions. This means the lacquer is specially developed to minimise yellowing indoors.
VP Platina PU Satin: This is an exterior lacquer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you.
Sikkens Rubbol XD Semi-Gloss: This product is the same as the Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss, but in a semi-gloss finish, which is between satin and high gloss. If you are looking for a semi-gloss lacquer of the same quality, choose this product.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Degrease with a professional degreaser before sanding.
Step 2: Lightly sand bare wood or old paint layers to ensure a smooth surface. Fill any imperfections where necessary.
Step 3: On bare wood, apply a primer to ensure good adhesion for Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss. Existing paint layers can be directly coated with Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss after degreasing and sanding.
Step 4: Finish with one coat of Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss.
