PPG ProLuxe® Wood Finishes deliver a premium, long-lasting finish for exterior wood surfaces. The ProLuxe 1 Primary Coat RE and ProLuxe 23 Top Coat RE work together as a system to enhance and protect wood with a rich, translucent satin finish.

Step 1: ProLuxe 1 Primary Coat RE (Formerly Sikkens Cetol 1)
This penetrating base coat primes the surface by saturating wood fibers for superior adhesion and durability. It enhances the natural beauty of wood grain while providing the foundation for long-lasting protection.

Steps 2 & 3: ProLuxe 23 Top Coat RE (Formerly Sikkens Cetol 23)
Applied as two coats over the Primary Coat, this durable, flexible finish protects against UV damage, moisture, and weathering while maintaining a rich, translucent appearance.

COVERAGE:On rough and weathered surfaces, 200–300 sq. ft. (19–28 sq. meters) per U.S. gallon (3.78 L). On smooth surfaces or hardwoods, 250–350 sq. ft. (23–33 sq. meters) per U.S. gallon (3.78 L). Actual coverage may vary depending on the type, age, and texture of the wood, and application method.

DRY TIMES:

  • To Touch: 12 hours
  • To Recoat: 24 hours

SURFACE PREPARATION:  All wood surfaces must be thoroughly clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grim, mildew, mill glaze and previous coatings before application. Spray all wood surfaces with clean water, completely wetting the wood. Apply a cleaning solution of four (4) ounces of 100% powdered Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP) or phosphate-free substitute with one (1) quart of liquid bleach and three (3) quarts of water to the wood surfaces with a garden sprayer or a heavy nap roller cover. Scrub surface with a hard bristle brush for 15-20 minutes to help remove mill glaze or weathering. Do not allow solution to dry on the wood surface. Power-wash wood surface with clean fresh water using 500-800 psi with the nozzle 8-12 inches away to remove cleaning solution. Allow the surface to dry for 48 hours, or to have a moisture content of 18% or less before application. Sand all cleaned wood using 80-120 grit sandpaper. Always sand in direction of the wood grain and remove sanding dust. Finish should be applied within four weeks, provided that the surface remains free of dirt, grease, grim and mildew.

NEW WOOD - Clean and prepare all wood surfaces as specified above. Pressure treated wood must be properly seasoned, dry with a moisture
content of 18% or less and free of salts and other water soluble materials. Water- repellent treated lumber requires one year minimum of weathering.
EXOTIC HARDWOOD - Ipe, mahogany, iron wood, tiger wood and teak woods exhibit a dense cell structure which may reduce the ability of a
coating to penetrate the wood surface. Clean and prepare surface as specified above. Immediately prior to applying coating, wipe surface with
acetone.
PREVIOUSLY COATED WOOD - Previous coatings must be completely removed prior to application. Once previous coatings are removed, clean
and prepare surface as specified above.

NOTES: 

  • 1 Primary Coat RE must be applied as a base coat before applying two coats of Pro Luxe 23 Top Coat. Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours between coats.
  • *Pro Luxe 23 Top Coat is not recommended for outdoor furniture or fences. Since outdoor furniture and fences are considered to be in a high-moisture environment, only two coats of Pro Luxe 1 Primary Coat RE would be your best method of application.

APPLICATION: Test wood for absorbency by sprinkling water on the surface – if water is absorbed within 30 sec. to 2 min., depending on climate, the surface is ready for finishing. If water is not absorbed, wait 30 days and re-test. Before starting, test your color choice on a small area. Buy sufficient product for the whole job. Intermix all product together before starting to avoid color variance. Stir thoroughly before and during application. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

  • Application using a natural bristle brush is the preferred method. If applied by roller or airless sprayer, back-brush immediately to ensure penetration and to avoid an uneven finish. Apply one even coat of 1 Primary Coat RE, avoiding heavy application. Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours. Must be topcoated with two coats of Pro Luxe 23 Top Coat.
  • Airless Spray: Pressure 700 to 800 psi; tip 0.09” to 0.011”. Spray equipment must be handled with due care and in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation. High-pressure injection of coatings into the skin by airless equipment may cause serious injury.
  • Brush: Natural Bristle Brush
  • Roller (nap roller cover): 3/8” - 1/2”
  • Thinning: Do not thin
