The TotalBoat Marine Topside Boat Paint Primer is an essential product for any boat owner looking to achieve a professional finish. This one-part marine primer is specifically designed for use on fiberglass, wood, gelcoat, and previously painted surfaces in good condition. Its durable and flexible undercoat makes it an ideal choice for both 1-part and 2-part polyurethane and enamel marine topside paint applications.
One of the standout features of this primer is its ability to cover completely in just one coat. The high-solids formula seals the surface effectively, allowing you to achieve a smooth finish without the need for multiple applications. If you encounter large surface imperfections, it is recommended to use the TotalBoat TotalFair epoxy fairing compound before applying the Topside Primer for the best results.
Application is a breeze with the easy-to-apply formula. Whether you prefer brushing, rolling, or spraying, this primer accommodates all methods. For brushing, a natural bristle paint brush works best, while a 1/8 inch solvent-safe foam roller is perfect for rolling. If you choose to spray, a 1.1mm tip is recommended. Always remember to wear proper personal protection and work in a well-ventilated area to ensure safety during application.
One of the most impressive aspects of the TotalBoat primer is its quick drying time. It is ready to sand in just 60-90 minutes at 65F, allowing you to move on to the next steps of your project without unnecessary delays. Once sanded, simply wipe the surface clean and apply your desired topside finish, such as TotalBoat Wet Edge or TotalTread marine non-skid deck paint.
Available in both white and gray, this primer comes in quart and gallon sizes, making it suitable for projects of all scales. For brush or roller application, you can thin the primer with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100, while xylene is recommended for spray application. It is crucial not to apply the Topside Primer thicker than the recommended thickness, as this may affect the curing process.
In summary, the TotalBoat Marine Topside Boat Paint Primer is a reliable choice for boat enthusiasts looking to enhance the longevity and appearance of their vessels. With its easy application, quick drying time, and excellent coverage, it stands out as a top-tier product in the marine painting category.
