TotalBoat- Wet Edge Marine Topside Paint for Boats, Fiberglass, and Wood (Fighting Lady Yellow), 1 Gallon (Pack of 1)

First, I had never painted a boat and was dubious about reports of near-spray quality results with any of the boat paints. My boat is old so I figured anything would be an improvement. I chose Total Boat mainly because it was easier through Amazon. I mixed two parts Yellow with one part Fighting Lady. (Can't add pigment. You have to mix Wet Edge paint instead).I was amazed at the smooth finish of the final paint job. I think that it is 85% of a spray job. If I had thought that it would turn out this well I would have been more careful with the primer coats and prep.Advice: Painting outdoors is challenging. Each coat takes several days to dry and then you have to fight rain, humidity and temperature. I finished it in the garage and it was a snap. For me, the primer was really thick, went on with a lot of orange peel and it dried slowly, and it was clumping during sanding because I didn't let it cure (all problems were user error). When the primer was cured it was easily sanded down and may have helped with smoothing the fiberglass imperfections. The primer prep is he key to a quality paint job. Take your time here.The paint went on well. The first coat had some orange peel because I put it on too thick and didn't have a quality paint brush. It was remediated when I sanded it down (again, wait for it to cure!). I applied the last coat uncomfortably thin with tip and roll, and it turned out marvelous! It took 1 gallon of primer and about 1/2 gallon of paint for an 18' boat.Use a 1/8" foam roller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168S0ETE?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) for the areas you want to look perfect, and use a true badger hair brush (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000N9LE80?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1). It is worth the money for this task.

Bought this to paint my pool slide in place instead of taking it down and taking it to a body shop to be sprayed with automotive enamel. Pleasantly surprised when I opened the can - color and consistency both very good. Emptied it into my bucket and then used mineral spirits to “wash” the can in order to pick up any pigment residue. I used mineral spirits as a thinner since I was brushing this on and wanted to give it time to flash out before drying. Paint went on smoothly and covered very well using a Purdy nylon brush. Cleaned my brush with gasoline for first two cleaning and mineral spirits for the last one each time. Drying time between coats was overnight and there were no soft spots. Couple of sags where I over applied it but they sanded out quickly. Have now applied three coats scuffing between coats with a Scotchbrite pad and I am very pleased with the results. Appears to have bonded well and the gloss is outstanding.As with any oil based enamel it takes some practice when brushing it on - it is prone to sags and runs if too much is applied. Will be interesting to see how this holds up through a swimming season and the blazing sun.

This is a very amazing and wonderful product. I do resinous floor systems for a living so I know a thing or two about epoxies and polyurethanes and this is the BEST there is for DIY projects!

I bought this paint to do something it wasn't made for. I'm using it on old tires to make white walls on my VW rat rod. Way, way cheaper than buying white walls. Just needed to scuff up and clean the area of the tires I wanted to paint. Seems to be working more or less so far. It's obviously not show quality but it makes the old tires and car look cool. Easy to touch up as needed also. Now, I only need to come up with some sort of boat to finish up what's left in the can.

First, I stirred the 1 gallon Wetedge can with a drill attachment for a few minutes. thinned it using 10% Thinner 100. And stirred again with drill attachment.I used a roller only. And it was a Wooster nap roller with a 1/4" nap (not recommended by Totalboat) . Totalboat recommends to used foam rollers for the Topside paint , but it was easier for me to use a nap roller. It still looks great imo . But if I could tip and roll , then I'd go that route. Unfortunately, I had nobody to help me tip so I took a risk and used a nap roller.I thinned the paint with 100 Thinner by %10. Stirred and applied. My boat is a 12' ft boat. I'm almost positive I'll have enough for 4 coats and then some. I'll use the leftover Topside to paint parts of the trailer.For the record, the pictures I provided show only 1 coat of Topside Wetedge (over 1 coat of 1 part Primer) color : Sea Green

Works great levels it self out

just like the label wet edge very easy to use
