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 Ventura Satin is suitable for protecting all woodwork, both indoors and outdoors, such as doors, stairs, and window frames. Sikkens Rubbol BL Ventura Satin is an easy-to-apply product for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The two major advantages of this lacquer are that it is a primer and topcoat in one can, so you don’t need to look any further! Additionally, this lacquer is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
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.

Cream White - RAL 9010
Traffic White - RAL 9016
Other common colours:

Anthracite Grey - RAL 7016
Black Grey - RAL 7021
Pine Green or Monument Green - RAL 6009
Wine Red - RAL 3005
Which gloss level do you recommend?
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. A satin finish 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 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 primer do I need?
You don’t need a primer for this product because it is a one-pot system, meaning it serves as both a primer and a topcoat. Primer and undercoat essentially perform the same function: ensuring good adhesion for the final product. Additionally, it is cost-effective for absorbent surfaces. A primer reduces absorbency, allowing more square metres to be covered per litre of paint. This ultimately ensures the best result and saves costs.
Are there alternatives?
Topdeq Aqua WA: This is a similar type of lacquer that also doesn’t require a primer because it is also a one-pot system! Like Sikkens Ventura, it is water-based.
Nordiq Frag: This is also a one-pot system from our own brand, which we have brought to the market ourselves. This is reflected in the price. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative with the same qualities, this is the product for you. However, this product is alkyd-based and therefore not suitable for interior use.
