NEW SEPTEMBER 2026 FORMULATION
Tuff Cab is back - and tougher than ever.
From September 2026, Tuff Cab is manufactured using a completely new formulation, developed to retain the easy application and distinctive professional finish Tuff Cab is known for while providing an even tougher, more consistent coating.
This RAL 7012 Basalt Grey version provides a deep, neutral grey finish, ideal for new loudspeaker cabinet builds as well as refurbishment of existing enclosures.
RAL 7012 Basalt Grey
Colour code: RAL 7012 (Basaltgrau - Basalt Grey).
► RAL 7012 Basalt Grey colour
► Deep, neutral grey finish
► Professional medium gloss finish
► Excellent coverage - a little paint goes a long way
► Apply by textured roller for the traditional Tuff Cab finish
► Different textures can be achieved by varying roller and application technique
► Suitable for plywood, MDF and other timber cabinet construction
► Water-based and easy to apply
► Minor knocks and scratches can easily be touched up
Coverage
Tuff Cab offers very good coverage, although the amount required varies considerably depending on the surface, number of coats, 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 build an even texture and 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 previous versions of the product. Customers matching or touching up older RAL 7012 Tuff Cab finishes should allow for possible differences in colour, sheen and texture.
