Océan Nuit No. 65 Lacquer

Océan Nuit No. 65 carries the hour after sunset within it: deep, composed, with maritime calm and no leaning towards the loud. As a lacquer, this shade takes on a surface that gathers light rather than spreading it wide. On an old chest of drawers, that looks like a decision.

Depth that only shows in the sheen

Only in satin sheen does the blue reveal how much depth it holds. On flat fronts it sits rich and solid; along edges, chamfers and profiles, the sheen traces a lighter line, so panels and handle rails gain contour without you having to pick them out separately. On wood with visible grain, the structure stays perceptible beneath the colour, and the blue reads a touch softer there. In daylight the tone comes across clear and cool, under evening light it moves towards ink. It carries large pieces of furniture just as well, because it has no restlessness to it.

Furniture, doors, stairs: what this lacquer is made for

Behind this shade is re-box protect, the satin-gloss furniture and multi-purpose lacquer for furniture, wood and interior surfaces. It withstands mechanical stress, everyday soiling and outside influences.

• Chests of drawers, sideboards, cabinets and shelving made of wood or wood-based material
• Interior doors with frames, when a dark tone is what ties the hallway together
• Stair strings, treads and railings that get touched every day
• Built-ins and fixed interior surfaces that get colour instead of a wood look

First core, then protect

The build-up has two layers and a fixed order: first re-box core Haftprimer, then the lacquer in the chosen shade. core is designed for strong adhesion on a wide range of surfaces, and it's the reason this blue stays put even on an old lacquered cabinet, where it belongs. The surface must be clean, dry, load-bearing and free of loose material; sand old lacquer surfaces matt beforehand and remove all dust completely, since in satin sheen every speck shows.

What holds its own next to this blue

Océan Nuit needs neighbours that let it keep its depth. Azure Bay No. 25 Lack looks light and airy beside it, almost like backlight. Bleu Faïence No. 64 Lack holds the same maritime line but stays friendlier. It goes darker still with Blue Dark No. 27 Lack, and quieter and greyer with Dove Horizon No. 26 Lack. The whole family lives under Lackfarben Blau. If wall and furniture are meant to carry the same tone: the same shade is also available as a wall paint, Océan Nuit No. 65, in matt or soft matt.

750 ml – how far does that take you?

The calculation is based on approx. 6 to 8 m² per litre and coat. For 750 ml that's approx. 4.5 to 6 m² per coat, so with two coats approx. 2 to 3 m² of finished surface. On dark or uneven surfaces, consumption can be higher.

• Chest of drawers with four drawers: one tin is usually enough
• Open shelving: one tin, though it gets tight with a back panel
• Interior door, both sides, two coats: plan for two tins
