Crimson Éclat No. 43 Lacquer

Crimson Éclat No. 43 is a warm, earthy red that brings to mind fired clay rather than a signal colour. On a chest of drawers or a door panel, it sets a rich, calm accent. As re-box protect, this shade comes in a silky-sheen satin finish.

Crimson Éclat No. 43 in Satin Sheen

This tone has terracotta at its core: plenty of warmth, a touch of brown, no hint of blue. The satin sheen doesn't reflect, it gives the light back softly – which gives the red depth rather than glare. On light woods like pine or birch, Crimson Éclat No. 43 looks bold yet warm; on dark oak, it turns more muted and velvety. In daylight it shows its brick side, under evening light it slips towards rust. On milled fronts, the gentle sheen traces every profile edge, while on smooth surfaces it stays calm.

Where this red belongs

re-box protect is a furniture and accent lacquer for furniture, wood and interior surfaces. Crimson Éclat No. 43 belongs wherever hands touch every day: chest-of-drawer fronts, kitchen cabinets, a sideboard in the hallway, interior doors, staircase stringers. The lacquer stands up to mechanical wear, everyday dirt and outside influences. One piece of furniture in this red is usually enough as an accent.

What pairs well with Crimson Éclat No. 43

Red needs neighbours that know how to step back. From the Lackfarben Rot family, these four sit well alongside it:

• Pimento Glow No. 34 Lack – lighter and spicier, good for a second piece of furniture in the room.
• Ochre Flame No. 23 Lack – leans towards yellow and warms up shelf bases.
• Berry Veil No. 21 Lack – cooler and berry-toned, a subtle contrast on drawer fronts.
• Velours Shade No. 22 Lack – darker and more velvety, suited to plinths and skirting boards.

The same shade is also available for walls: Crimson Éclat No. 43 as a wall paint, in matt or silk matt. Painted tone on tone, the line between furniture and surface behind it blurs.

From sanding to the final coat

The surface must be clean, dry, stable and free of any loose particles. Sand glossy old lacquer down to a matt finish and remove all sanding dust completely, otherwise the lacquer sits on dust instead of wood. Then comes re-box core as an adhesion primer; it bonds to a wide range of surfaces and forms the base on which the red sits evenly. Only then does re-box protect follow, in two thin coats.

Is one can enough for the chest of drawers?

re-box protect comes in 750 ml. Based on a guide value of approx. 6 to 8 m² per litre per coat, this works out to approx. 4.5 to 6 m² for one coat, or approx. 2 to 3 m² for two coats. In practice, that covers one interior door with frame, a chest of drawers with four drawers, or a narrow shelf. On darker surfaces, consumption may be higher – Tür lackieren ohne Ausbauen shows the process.
