Sigma S2U Nova Primer is a water-based acrylic primer. This ensures better adhesion to your surface and the paint, resulting in a better final appearance. Additionally, this primer will not smell in your home because it is water-based. We can mix this primer in any possible color. This primer serves as a base coat for wood, hard PVC, and other plastics (excluding polyolefins like PE and PP), concrete, plaster, etc. It is also applicable on cleaned and sanded alkyd resin paint layers.
This primer is intended for indoor application. It is a premium brand product of very professional quality. Due to its reliability, quality, and long lifespan, many painting companies and professional painters use Sigma. This paint is ready to use and does not need to be diluted. However, you may dilute it with water or an acrylic thinner if you prefer.
Which paint roller do I need?
To create a smooth and even final result, the right roller is essential. You naturally want no irregularities in your paintwork. For a good paint roller, absorption and release are crucial. We recommend the superflock acrylic roller for working with acrylic paint or lacquer.
Which brush do I need?
For the best final result, a good brush is indispensable. A good brush ensures optimal absorption and release of the paint. We find that a mixed fiber brush is very suitable for applying this paint because these brushes use both synthetic fibers and traditional pig bristles. Therefore, we recommend the VP Gold Mix Fiber brush for this product.

Advantages of water-based paint
For indoor work, acrylic paint is the ideal product. This paint does not smell during application in your home, and because it does not contain turpentine, your colors will not yellow over time.
What is the consumption per m²?
The consumption of Sigma paints is 12 to 16 m² per liter. However, our experience shows that most painters achieve a consumption of 10 to 12 m² per liter for Sigma paint. It is better to have a little too much paint than too little.

What is LTA+ Technology?
The LTA+ technology acts as a shield thanks to the special binder combinations. This shield protects the paint from skin oils and wear. Skin oils can hardly affect the paint layer, and any penetrated skin oil does not adhere to the paint. Thanks to LTA+, the paint remains rock-hard even after prolonged exposure to skin oils. Ideal for homes where people live actively.
Which gloss do you recommend?
There is no gloss level for a primer. However, for your lacquer, you can read our recommendations below. For outdoor lacquer, high gloss is the most suitable. High gloss lacquer has a longer lifespan. The surface is smooth, so less dirt adheres to the paint, and 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. A satin gloss has a gloss level of 30 to 60, and matte paint should remain below 30. These values are measured by the factory. In some cases, we recommend a satin gloss lacquer. This is done when the surface is not 100% perfect. Inexperienced DIYers also choose satin gloss lacquer because small imperfections in your surface are easier to conceal.
High gloss (60-90): ideal for outdoor work
Satin gloss (30-60): ideal for surface imperfections
Matte paint (less than 30): ideal for indoor work
Which primer do I need?
Primer and base coat are the same and serve the same purpose: ensuring good adhesion of the final product. Additionally, it is cost-effective for absorbent surfaces. A primer makes surfaces less absorbent, allowing more square meters to be covered per liter of paint. This will ultimately result in the best final result and save costs.
Are there alternatives?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer: This is a similar primer that is also water-based. This primer pairs well with the other BL Rezisto lacquer series, such as Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Satin.
VP Platina Aqua Primer: This is a water-based primer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market. This is also reflected in the price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product you need.
