Pros and Cons
Durability up to 8 years Easy to apply Can be mixed in any colour Not suitable for interior use
Sikkens Rubbol SB should be applied with a professional brush to ensure the correct layer thickness and achieve a top-quality result. Cheaper brushes often risk improper absorption and release. With the VP Gold Mix , you’ll always achieve a professional result with minimal effort.
Sikkens Rubbol SB can also be applied effectively with a lacquer roller , especially for larger surfaces to speed up the job. Always use a felt roller to ensure proper absorption and release, resulting in a perfect layer thickness.
Sikkens Rubbol SB is most suitable for protecting doors and window frames against weather conditions. Sikkens Rubbol SB is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Rubbol SB can be easily cleaned with your usual household cleaning products. A major advantage of this lacquer is that it is ready to use and does not need to be thinned. Sikkens Rubbol SB can be applied directly without dilution.
Sikkens Rubbol SB is an alkyd-based lacquer, which is white spirit-thinnable and lasts longer outdoors than water-based topcoats. Sikkens Rubbol SB is an alkyd paint with a long lifespan, offering excellent resistance to weather conditions.
The coverage of Sikkens Rubbol SB 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 Sikkens lacquer. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little. Fortunately, Sikkens Rubbol SB is available in various sizes, from 0.5-litre to 2.5-litre tins, ensuring you’ll always have enough for your painting project. If you run out, you can pick up an extra tin from our stores in Leeuwarden or order online with our super-fast service.
The ideal application temperature is 5-30 degrees Celsius, with a maximum humidity of 85%. Also, consider the painter’s comfort—it’s never pleasant to paint in 30-degree heat. Under ideal conditions (20 degrees), this lacquer is recoatable after 18 hours and dust-dry after 4 hours.
Sikkens Rubbol SB is silicone-based, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Why choose a silicone-based lacquer?
A silicone-based lacquer is flexible, allowing it to last longer as it can expand and contract with the wood.
Advantages of silicone-based lacquer: Flexibility and longer lifespan
Disadvantages of silicone-based lacquer: Can feel sticky during application and may cause contamination when used with sealants.
Sikkens Rubbol SB is the most popular product among professional painters. DIY enthusiasts often choose the Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss . The reason is simple: painters have been using Sikkens Rubbol SB for over 10 years—if a product works well, why change? Additionally, Sikkens Rubbol SB has been improved several times. But what are the differences between these two top products?
Sikkens Rubbol SB is a thicker (more viscous) lacquer that dries to a perfectly smooth finish. However, inexperienced painters may find it less pleasant to work with. Sikkens Rubbol SB is fully siliconised, which explains its slightly stiffer application.
Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is a thinner lacquer that is easier to apply. Sikkens heavily advertises this product, and while professional painters are not easily swayed, DIY enthusiasts often choose the product they trust most. This is also due to its lifespan—Sikkens Rubbol XD lasts 10 years, while Sikkens Rubbol SB lasts 8 years.

The most chosen colours for Sikkens Rubbol SB are:
Off-White - RAL 9001: Sikkens Rubbol SB is an excellent choice and a frequently ordered colour. Sikkens Rubbol SB RAL 9001 pairs well with darker colours for a perfect result.
Cream White - RAL 9010: For a modern and sleek look. Sikkens Rubbol SB RAL 9010 ensures the best result.

Common darker colours:
Jet Black - RAL 9005: This can be a tricky colour as it absorbs a lot of heat, which can reduce its lifespan. Sikkens Rubbol SB might be the best option for this, as it can expand and contract well, making it resistant to temperature fluctuations.

Sikkens Rubbol SB is a high gloss lacquer specially developed for exterior work. This paint withstands the most extreme weather conditions, making it our recommendation for any outdoor project. High gloss topcoats last longer than satin gloss due to their gloss retention and smooth finish, which makes it harder for dirt to adhere.
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
We recommend different primers depending on the surface. Here’s a handy guide to ensure you always use the right primer:
Bare wood: For bare wood, we recommend the following system: always start with Sikkens Rubbol Primer . This primer fills well and adheres strongly to bare wood. Next, apply Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra, a glossy primer that helps the gloss of Sikkens Rubbol SB last even longer. After these two layers, one topcoat layer (Sikkens Rubbol SB) is sufficient.
Old paint layers: Old paint layers should first be re-primed using Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra . This glossy primer ensures a solid base, allowing you to finish with one layer of Sikkens Rubbol SB.
Metal and plastic: These are challenging surfaces and should first be treated with a multiprimer . After applying the multiprimer, use Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra before finishing with Sikkens Rubbol SB.
How many layers of Sikkens Rubbol SB should I apply? This is a frequently asked question. If you follow the steps above, one layer is sufficient!
VP Platina SB: This is an exterior lacquer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is reflected in the price. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you.
Sikkens Rubbol Finura High Gloss: This is a high gloss lacquer that can be used both indoors and outdoors due to its anti-yellowing properties. This ensures your colour won’t yellow indoors, keeping your lacquer looking great. However, this lacquer is not silicone-based, unlike Rubbol SB.
Step 1: Degreasing is always the first step. Use a degreaser for this.
Step 2: After degreasing, you can start sanding. Do this for both bare wood and existing paint layers. After sanding, you can optionally fill any imperfections.
Step 3: Once the surface is perfect, it’s time to make it dust-free and apply primer. Always prime bare wood first with Sikkens Rubbol Primer , followed by Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra . Existing paint layers only need to be primed with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra.
Step 4: Once everything is well-primed, it’s time to apply the topcoat. Use Sikkens Rubbol SB for this, and one layer will suffice!
