Coverage
Tuff Cab offers very good coverage, although the amount required will vary considerably depending on the surface, number of coats, desired texture and application method.
Bare MDF, plywood and other absorbent timber surfaces will normally require at least two coats. The first coat generally uses more paint as it seals and covers the bare surface, while subsequent coats usually require considerably less and help produce an even texture and consistent finish.
When refurbishing cabinets with a sound existing painted surface, a single coat may often be sufficient to refresh the finish.
New Formulation
Tuff Cab manufactured from September 2026 replaces all previous versions of the product. Customers matching or touching up older black Tuff Cab finishes should allow for possible differences in colour, sheen and texture.
