Nelf Nelfapre Xtreme Primer Coat
The Nelf Nelfapre Xtreme Primer Coat is designed for outdoor use. It serves as a base coat for lacquer on wooden surfaces. Xtreme Primer Coat is solvent-based, providing excellent adhesion to the substrate.
This primer also offers excellent flow and is highly scratch and wear-resistant. This means you won’t have to worry about scratches on your painted surfaces. The Xtreme Primer Coat is easy to clean using your regular cleaning products. The ideal application temperature ranges between 5°C and 30°C, with a maximum humidity of 85%. Under optimal conditions (20°C), this primer can be recoated in just 6 hours, enabling you to complete your project within a weekend. Another significant advantage of this primer is that it is ready-to-use and does not require dilution. However, if preferred, you can thin it using turpentine.
We are an official Nelf dealer and are equipped with the Nelf mixing machine. Nelf was one of the first paint manufacturers in the Netherlands to use electricity in paint production. From the very beginning, Nelf has focused on the professional market. Their products were used to protect carriages, shops, homes, commercial spaces, and factories. Today, Nelf has grown into one of the leading paint brands for professionals. Be sure to also check our Sikkens offers for great deals on Sikkens products.
Pros and Cons
- Fast drying
- Base coat designed for outdoor use
- Can be mixed into any colour
- Less suitable for indoors
Which brush should I use?
Choosing the right brush is essential for applying alkyd paint and lacquer evenly. The VP Gold Mixed Fibre Brush contains optimal bristles for the best finish. This brush combines traditional pig bristles with high-quality synthetic fibres.
Which paint roller should I use?
To achieve a smooth and even finish, using the right roller is crucial. No one wants lint in their paintwork. Proper absorption and release are key. For alkyd paint or lacquer, we recommend the Copenhagen Pro Finishing Roller or the Anza Velvet Roller.
When should I use it?
Nelfapre Xtreme Primer Coat is suitable for protecting all exterior woodwork, such as doors and window frames. This primer enhances the adhesion between the substrate and the lacquer. Using a primer ensures a more durable and polished final result. The Nelf Nelfapre Xtreme Primer Coat is easy to work with, making it ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Advantages of solvent-based paints
For outdoor projects, alkyd lacquer is the ideal choice. It is more resistant to weather conditions, which gives it a longer lifespan compared to water-based products.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Nelf paints is about 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, our experience shows that most painters achieve around 10 to 12 m² per litre. It’s better to have extra paint than to run out halfway through your project.
Which colours can be mixed?
We can mix any colour using our advanced mixing system. Simply choose your desired colour from our colour selector or contact us for assistance.
Most popular colours
We can mix any colour for you. The most popular colours for this product include:
RAL 9001 (off-white)

RAL 9016 (traffic white)
Other frequently chosen colours:
RAL 9005 (jet black)
RAL 7016 (anthracite grey)
RAL 7021 (black grey)
RAL 6009 (pine green or monument green)
RAL 3005 (wine red)
Which gloss level do you recommend?
Gloss levels do not apply to primers. However, for lacquers:
High gloss (60–90): Ideal for outdoor use, offering better durability and easy cleaning. Its smooth surface prevents dirt accumulation.
Satin gloss (30–60): Great for uneven surfaces and hides minor imperfections well, making it perfect for DIY enthusiasts.
Matte paint (less than 30): Ideal for a natural finish indoors.
Which lacquer should I use?
Provided you stick to solvent-based lacquers, any will work well over this primer. For the best results, we recommend staying within the same brand. For instance, opt for Nelf Xtreme PU Gloss for a high-gloss finish or Nelf Xtreme PU Satin for a satin-finish lacquer.
