Pros and Cons
Durability up to 10 years Easy to apply Can be mixed in any colour Not suitable for interior use
Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is a high-gloss lacquer based on alkyd (white spirit). We can mix this lacquer in any possible colour. Note when mixing: for darker colours, the standard content is 900 ml, which becomes a final product of 1000 ml after adding pigment. Sikkens Rubbol XD is designed for painting wood, metal, and various hard plastics that have been pre-treated according to the instructions. This lacquer is intended for exterior use. It is a premium product of very professional quality, as Sikkens is a brand of the Dutch paint company AkzoNobel. Sikkens is generally considered one of the best brands/products in the field of paint and lacquer. Due to its reliability, quality, and long lifespan, many painting companies and professional painters use Sikkens.
Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss offers excellent coverage, outstanding flow, and protection for up to 10 years. This means you won’t need to worry about your paintwork for the next 8 to 10 years. Rubbol XD is easy to clean with your usual household cleaning products. The ideal application temperature is 5-30 degrees Celsius, with a maximum humidity of 85%. Under ideal conditions (20 degrees), this lacquer is recoatable after 18 hours, allowing you to complete the job over the weekend. Another great advantage of this lacquer is that it is ready to use and does not need to be thinned.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss
For applying Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss, 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 Platina Mix Fibre brush contains the right fibres for the best result. This brush is made up of various fibres, combining traditional pig bristles with a selection of synthetic fibres.
When using a roller, it is important to create a smooth and even finish. If you’re painting larger surfaces such as an exterior door or fascia boards, a lacquer roller is most suitable. You don’t want to be fishing lint out of your paintwork. Absorption and release are essential here. We recommend using a felt roller or the Anza felt roller for working with alkyd lacquer or paint.

For outdoor projects, we always recommend choosing a high gloss finish. Not only is it more attractive, but it also has a longer lifespan. Dirt is less likely to adhere to the paint layer. Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is a high gloss exterior lacquer and the best paint you could wish for. Thanks to the latest technology, the gloss lasts even longer, providing extended durability and better protection for your paintwork.
High gloss (60-90): Ideal for exterior work. Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss has the highest gloss level, which will last for a long time. In addition to the right gloss, a UV filter is also very important to guarantee durability.
Satin gloss (30-60): Ideal for surfaces with imperfections. In most cases, we do not recommend this for exterior use as its lifespan is much shorter than high gloss.
Matte paint (less than 30): Ideal for interior work. For exterior work, we usually recommend a high gloss topcoat like Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss to provide optimal protection for the wood.
Primer or undercoat is applied to bare wood or over an old paint layer (re-priming). There are different systems for applying Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss, depending on the situation. Here are the different systems for Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss:
Bare wood: For this, we recommend first applying Sikkens Rubbol Primer , a filling primer that ensures optimal adhesion to the wood. After applying Sikkens Rubbol Primer, we recommend applying a glossy primer. This is the Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra . By applying this primer, the Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss will retain its gloss even longer, guaranteeing a lifespan of 10 years. Now, only one layer of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is needed.
Repainting old paint layers: For repainting, we recommend first priming with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra. This primer will neutralise the old paint layer and create a perfect base for Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss. After applying this primer, one layer of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is sufficient for perfect protection.
Metal or plastic: For these surfaces, we always recommend first applying a multiprimer . After applying the multiprimer, you can prime with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra and then finish with Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss.
Nelf Titan SB: Nelf Titan SB, like Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss, has a lifespan of 10 years. Nelf Titan SB is the top product from Nelf, developed for professional painters. In addition to Nelf Titan SB, there is also Drenth Sublime SB, which has nearly identical features and properties.
VP Platina PU Gloss: This is an exterior lacquer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you.
Sikkens Rubbol XD Semi-Gloss: This product is the same as Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss but in semi-gloss, which is between satin gloss and high gloss. If you’re looking for a semi-gloss lacquer of the same quality, choose this product.
Step 1: Degreasing is the first step to creating the right surface. Degreasing may seem unimportant, but in our experience, it’s perhaps the most crucial step. If you don’t degrease properly or use the wrong product, Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss will not adhere properly.
Step 2: After degreasing, sand thoroughly, always starting with a medium grit (120) and finishing with a fine grit (180). After sanding, you can optionally fill any imperfections and sand again. Make the woodwork dust-free so you can proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Now you can start priming. For bare wood, we recommend first applying a layer of Sikkens Rubbol Primer , followed by Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra . For existing paintwork, we recommend re-priming with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Extra.
Step 4: Now you can start applying the topcoat. We are often asked how many layers of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss are needed. If you follow the steps above correctly, only one layer of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is sufficient for optimal protection.
We are often asked, “What does Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss cost?” and “Why is Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss so expensive?” Our prices are always competitive, and in most cases, we offer the lowest online price. Unfortunately, we must note that the price of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss has risen significantly. This is mainly due to inflation and the ongoing development of Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss. Sikkens Rubbol XD High Gloss is the best topcoat available and aims to remain so.
