Quote & price

Is a quote free?

Yes. At Lakkerij Amber you always get a free, no-obligation quote. We only start once you approve it.

What do you need to give a price?

What you want lacquered, the material, the dimensions or number of pieces, the colour and gloss level you want, and preferably a few photos. Our quote form lets you send all of that in one go.

Why are there no fixed prices on the website?

The price depends on the size, the shape and above all the condition of the piece. A radiator with flaking paint needs more preparation than one that only needs a new colour. That is why we always prepare a tailored quote.

How we work

Do you lacquer on site?

No. We work exclusively in our workshop in Tildonk, with a spray booth and controlled drying conditions. That way you get an even, hard finish without dust or runs.

How do I get my pieces to you?

Most clients drop off their pieces themselves during opening hours. For larger jobs or businesses we are happy to discuss collection and delivery.

How long does it take?

That depends on the quantity, the preparation and the workshop schedule. You get a concrete timeline with your quote. Keep our summer and Christmas closures in mind.

What is 2K PU lacquer?

A two-component polyurethane lacquer: the lacquer and hardener are mixed just before spraying and react chemically. The result is a hard, wear-resistant and chemical-resistant coating that is much stronger than ordinary paint.

Colour & finish

Which colours are possible?

All RAL colours, and NCS colours on request. If you have a sample or an example, feel free to bring it along.

Which gloss level should I choose?

Matt looks calm and contemporary, satin-matt and satin are a little easier to clean, high gloss gives a mirror-like, luxurious effect. For kitchens and doors many clients choose satin-matt; for radiators matt or satin.

Which materials can you lacquer?

Metals (iron, aluminium, stainless and galvanised steel), wood (solid or veneer), MDF and plastic. For every material we choose the right pre-treatment and primer.

Practical

Do you work for homeowners and businesses?

Yes. Homeowners come to us with radiators, kitchens, doors and garden furniture. Freelancers, SMEs and large companies have us wet-spray, blast or metallise metal, wood, MDF and plastic.

Where is your workshop?

At Kruineikestraat 99 in Tildonk (Haacht), between Leuven and Mechelen.
