TotalBoat-365400 Wet Edge Marine Topside Paint for Boats, Fiberglass, and Wood (Yellow, 1 Quarts (Pack of 1))

It really dose take 20 hours to dry

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.

I have a 47-year old fiberglass canoe, which was pretty "rough" in places, so I fiberglassed and sanded it, then painted it with this paint mixed with the recommended thinner. It went on very easy and looked great. After the second coat it almost looked like new. We used it the following week, and a lady on the river commented on our great-looking canoe.

Goes on easily. Easy to mix and apply. in coastal Georgia with high humidity it took longer to dry but dried to a hard glossy finish. will use more Wet Wdge on boats.

I used this paint for a floating dock. I used a bunch of different colors and it did a great job and is holding up very well. So far it is enduring weather, sun and tons of kids running across it.

Do not use this product in your boat, start falling down after 18 months.

So far so good! I used it as a base paint for my boat and followed up with a clear fleck. (gold and silver)I wish you guys had a high gloss clear paint. I had to find a different solution for that application.

My husband sanded and painted our son’s Sunfish with this and it’s now the best looking sailboat on the river
