Frequently Asked Questions about this product
Which brush do I need?
For applying alkyd 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 recommend the VP Gold Mix Fibre brush.
Which paint roller do I need?
Using a roller allows you to achieve a smooth and even finish. You don’t want to be picking lint out of your paintwork. Absorption and release are key. We recommend the Copenhagen Lacquer Roller or the Anza Felt Roller for working with alkyd lacquer or paint.
When to use?
Sigma S2U Multiprimer is suitable for protecting all exterior woodwork, such as doors and window frames. This primer improves adhesion between your surface and your lacquer. Using a primer ensures your work lasts longer and results in a neater finish. The Sigma S2U Multiprimer is easy to work with for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Advantages of solvent-based lacquer
For outdoor projects, alkyd lacquer is the ideal product. This lacquer is more resistant to weather conditions, giving it a longer lifespan compared to water-based products. Normally, alkyd lacquer yellows when used indoors. If you want to use alkyd paint indoors, make sure it contains an “anti-yellowing agent” to prevent yellowing.
What is the coverage per m²?
The coverage of Sigma lacquers 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 Sigma lacquer. It’s better to have a little too much paint than too little.

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 exterior 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. Satin gloss has a gloss level of 30 to 60, and matte paint should remain below 30. These values are measured by the manufacturer. In some cases, we recommend a satin gloss lacquer. This is advised when the surface is not 100% perfect. Inexperienced DIYers also choose satin gloss lacquer because it is easier to hide small imperfections in the surface.
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
Which Lacquer Do I Need?
When choosing your lacquer, there are many options. As long as you stick to the same base, you can use any solvent-based lacquer over this primer. If you want the best results, we recommend staying with the same brand. For example, choose Sigma Contour Gloss. If you find high gloss too shiny, there are also satin gloss lacquers available on a solvent basis, such as Sigma Contour Satin. Unfortunately, a matte lacquer on a solvent basis does not exist. If you want a matte finish, you would need to switch to a water-based lacquer.
Are There Alternatives?
Sikkens Rubbol Primer Express: This is a similar type of primer, also solvent-based. This primer has the advantage of being quick-drying and can be applied at 0 degrees Celsius.
VP Platina Primer: This is a solvent-based primer 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.
