Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
Which brush do I need?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss should be applied with the following brush: VP All-round Synthetic Brush. For applying acrylic paint and lacquer, it is important to choose the right brush. The right brush ensures the lacquer is applied evenly, with optimal absorption and release. We believe the VP Synthetic Brush contains the right synthetic fibres for the best result. This brush is made up of various fibres, combining a selection of synthetic fibres.
Which roller do I need?
We recommend always using a roller specifically designed for water-based paint and lacquer. Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss is best applied with the superflock acrylic roller. Use a roller when painting doors, as it allows you to achieve a smooth and streak-free finish on larger surfaces.
When should I use this product?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto is suitable for protecting all indoor woodwork, such as doors, stairs, and window frames. Sikkens Rubbol BL is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
What are the benefits of water-based lacquer?
For indoor projects, acrylic lacquer is the ideal product. This lacquer does not produce unpleasant odours during application in your home, and because it does not contain white spirit, your colours will not yellow over time. An alkyd lacquer will always yellow indoors after a few years, but Sikkens Rezisto Semi-Gloss does not yellow at all.
When should I apply this product?
The ideal application temperature is 5-30 degrees Celsius, with a maximum humidity of 85%. Under ideal conditions (20 degrees), this lacquer is repaintable after 8 hours, allowing you to complete the job over the weekend. Another major advantage of this lacquer is that it is ready to use and does not need to be diluted. Of course, this lacquer is mostly used indoors, where temperature is not an issue, as it is typically around 20 degrees indoors.
Is this paint wear and scratch-resistant?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss, like the other Rezisto lacquers, is highly wear and scratch-resistant. This makes Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss perfectly suitable for stairs and floors. This is very important for indoor paint, as wear on stairs is something we absolutely want to avoid.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss is 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, our experience is slightly different, as most painters achieve a coverage of 10 to 12 m² per litre with Sikkens lacquer. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little.

Which primer do I need?
For applying Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss, we recommend using the Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer on bare wood. This provides the perfect base for high-quality paintwork.
If you want to paint over an old paint layer, we also recommend first applying a Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer. Only if you are 100% sure that the existing layer is water-based paint can you skip the primer and directly finish with Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss.
For plastic, it is advisable to first apply a multiprimer for adhesion. After this, you can finish with one coat of Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss.
Metal can also be painted with Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss, such as a steel beam you want to paint black or white. We recommend treating metal first with a multiprimer before finishing with Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss.
In general, one coat of Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss is sufficient, provided a primer in the same colour is applied first for optimal coverage.
