Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer is designed for indoor use. This is a primer for a lacquer layer on wood, metal, and hard plastics. This product is a premium brand, ensuring absolute quality.
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer is a water-based acrylic primer. This ensures better adhesion between your surface and the lacquer, resulting in a superior final finish. Additionally, this primer will not produce unpleasant odours in your home as it is water-based. We can mix this primer in any possible colour. It serves as a primer for wood, hard PVC, and other plastics (excluding polyolefins such as PE and PP), concrete, plasterwork, and more. It is also suitable for cleaned and sanded alkyd resin paint layers. Ideal as a base for a skin oil-resistant paint system; in cases where skin oils have damaged the old paint system, this primer prevents the new paint system from being affected from the base layer onwards.

This primer is intended for indoor application. Sikkens paint is a premium product of very professional quality, as Sikkens is a brand of the Dutch paint company AkzoNobel.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
Which brush do I need?
For applying acrylic paint and lacquer, 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 Synthetic Brush contains the right synthetic fibres for the best result. This brush is made up of various fibres, combining a selection of synthetic fibres.
Which roller do I need?
When using a roller, it is important to achieve a smooth and even finish. You don’t want to be picking lint out of your paintwork. Absorption and release are essential here. We recommend using the VP Superflock Acrylic Roller for working with acrylic lacquer or paint.
When should I use this product?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Primer is suitable for protecting all indoor woodwork, such as doors, stairs, and window frames. This primer is used to improve adhesion between your surface and the lacquer. Using a primer ensures a much better final result. Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
What are the benefits of water-based lacquer?
For indoor projects, acrylic lacquer is the ideal product. This lacquer does not produce unpleasant odours during application in your home, and because it does not contain white spirit, your colours will not yellow over time.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sikkens lacquers is 12 to 16 m² per litre. However, our experience is slightly different, as 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.
In which colours can it be mixed?
We can mix any possible colour with our mixing system. To mix your desired colour, you can simply select the colour in our colour picker or contact us. For mixing Sikkens paints and lacquers, we exclusively use the official Sikkens mixing machine, including the corresponding mixing pigments.

Which gloss level 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, which means less dirt adheres to the lacquer. Additionally, 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 finish has a gloss level of 30 to 60, and a matte paint should remain below 30. These values are measured by the manufacturer. In some cases, we recommend a satin lacquer. This is advised when the surface is not 100% smooth. Inexperienced DIYers also often choose satin lacquer, as it is easier to hide small imperfections in the surface.
High Gloss (60-90): Ideal for outdoor work
Satin (30-60): Ideal for surfaces with imperfections
Matte Paint (less than 30): Ideal for indoor work
Which lacquer do I need?
The world of lacquers is so vast that it can be overwhelming. At De Verfmenger, we recommend sticking to the same product line. Sikkens has released a water-based lacquer series that perfectly complements the Rezisto Primer. This lacquer series is called Rezisto, such as the Sikkens Rubbol BL Rezisto Semi-Gloss. This is a semi-gloss lacquer that sits between high gloss and satin. Of course, the high-gloss and satin variants are also available from us at the lowest price.
Are there alternatives?
Sikkens Rubbol BL Primer: This is a similar type of primer that is also water-based. This primer works well with the matte lacquer from Sikkens, the Magura Matte.
VP Platina Aqua Primer: This is a water-based primer from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is also reflected in the price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you.
