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 Matt White version provides a clean, low-sheen white finish, ideal for new loudspeaker cabinet builds as well as refurbishment of existing enclosures.
Matt White
White and other light-coloured coatings do not hide dark or contrasting surfaces in the same way as black paint. When applying Tuff Cab Matt White over dark timber, previous black paint, filler, repairs or other strongly contrasting areas, additional coats may be required to achieve an even, solid white finish.
For the best results, ensure the underlying surface is reasonably uniform in colour before applying the final coats. Dark patches or contrasting repairs may benefit from an initial white base coat before building the finished texture.
► Clean matt white colour
► Professional low-sheen matt finish
► Additional coats may be required over dark or contrasting surfaces
► Excellent coverage on suitably prepared surfaces
► 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 applying white over darker surfaces, additional coats may be required to completely cover the underlying colour and achieve an even final appearance.
When refurbishing cabinets with a sound existing light-coloured 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 white Tuff Cab finishes should allow for possible differences in colour, sheen and texture.
