Unfortunately Jotun are not able to provide any correlation between old and new colours. We would advise taking a 3 litre tin to try before purchasing the full 20 litres.

Unfortunately the Jotun Demidekk colour range doesn't match up to RAL colours so we wouldn't be able to advise.

Jotun Demidekk Ultimate is currently available in the colours listed on our website.

Yes this should be fine, as long as the primer is suitable for the substrate/environment then Jotun Demidekk Ultimate is suitable to be used over existing paints after cleaning and preparation as per the product data sheet.

We can see a colour in the Butinox 2 & 3 colours called '732 Nut Brown' the nearest colour to this in Jotun Demidekk Ultimate would be '452 (6318-Y55R) Torvbrun'. The only colour containing 'Walnut' is in the the Butinox 1 product called '12 New Walnut' the Demidekk alternative to Butinox 1 would be Jotun Demidekk Translucent Woodstain and this has a colour called '676 Walnut' which would be the closest.

Yes, Demidekk Ultimate has a satin finish and Demidekk Ultimate Windows and Doors has a Semi-Gloss finish. The Windows and Doors version also leaves a harder finish to withstand the wear and tear expected from contact around windows and doors.

Yes this should be fine. Full details of preparation and application can be found in the Demidekk Ultimate data sheets found in the 'Attachments' tab on the product page. However in short, assuming the existing coatings are sound and well adhered it should be simply to thoroughly clean and abrade to provide a key and then apply the Demidekk Ultimate directly.

There isn't a direct equivalent as one is a transparent and one is opaque but looking at the colour charts, 1434 (S7502-Y) Labrador looks the closest colour in Jotun Demidekk Ultimate.
