Pros and Cons
- Quick drying
- Easy to apply
- Customisable in any colour
- Not suitable for outdoor use
Which roller do I need?
Using the right roller ensures a smooth, even finish. To avoid fibres in your paintwork, we recommend the VP superflock acrylic roller for working with acrylic lacquers or paints.
Which brush do I need?
The VP all-round synthetic brush is ideal for this product. Its synthetic fibres ensure even absorption and release of the paint, ensuring a seamless, smooth, and flawless result.
When should I use it?
Nelfalite Xcellent Gloss is perfect for protecting all indoor woodwork, such as doors, stairs, and window frames. It's an easy-to-use product suitable for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Benefits of water-based lacquer
For indoor projects, acrylic-based lacquer is the ideal choice. It does not emit unpleasant odours during application, and its lack of turpentine prevents colours from yellowing over time.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage for Nelf lacquers is between 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, in practice, most painters achieve around 10 to 12 m² per litre with Nelf lacquer. It’s always wise to have a little extra paint rather than running out.
What colours can it be mixed in?
We can mix any colour using our official Nelf mixing machine and its proprietary pigments. Simply select your desired colour using our colour picker or contact us for assistance.

What gloss finish is recommended?

High-gloss (60–90): Suitable for high-visibility areas
Satin-gloss (30–60): Best for surfaces with minor imperfections
Matte (less than 30): More suitable for interior aesthetics
Which primer do I need?
Primers facilitate better adhesion and reduce paint absorption on surfaces. This ensures optimal coverage while minimising costs. Always use a high-quality primer for best results.
