## Overview

TotalBoat Marine Topside Boat Paint Primer is a premium, one-part marine primer designed for above-waterline surfaces like fiberglass, wood, and gelcoat. It offers exceptional coverage with just one coat, dries quickly within 60-90 minutes, and is compatible with all 1- and 2-part polyurethane and enamel topside paints. Easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray, this chromate- and lead-free primer ensures a durable, flexible undercoat that prevents peeling and lifting, making it the go-to choice for millennial boat owners who demand fast, reliable, and eco-conscious marine paint prep.

## Description

To ensure the topside paint on your boat adheres well and won't lift or peel, apply TotalBoat Topside Primer first. This one-part premium marine undercoat is compatible with all 1- and 2-part polyurethane and enamel topside paints. Its high-solids formula flows easily, requires only one coat, dries quickly, and is easy to sand. Perfect for priming decks and hulls above the waterline before applying a topside hull paint, such as Total Boat Wet Edge, or a non-skid marine deck paint, such as TotalBoat Total Tread. Topside Primer is easy to apply by brushing, rolling, or spraying on properly prepared wood, fiberglass, gel coat and previously painted surfaces in good condition. Because of the high solids content, it's important to stir this primer for a full five minutes before applying, to ensure it's mixed thoroughly. If needed, thin with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 when brushing, and xylene when spraying. As for application tools, we recommend the following: Brush Application - natural bristle brush; Roller Application - 1/8" solvent-safe foam roller cover; Spray Application - 1.1mm spray tip. Most applications will require only one coat. It's not necessary to achieve full hide from Topside Primer, and additional coats should not be applied to achieve full hide. It's more important to have a thin, consistent coat. If a second coat is needed, sand lightly with 220-grit sandpaper and remove any sanding residue with a clean, dry lint-free rag or vacuum. Choose white or gray in quart or gallon sizes. TotalBoat Topside Paint Primer provides excellent coverage, requires fewer coats, dries faster, and is more flexible than other one-part marine-grade primers. Compare to Rustoleum Marine Paint Primer, Pettit Easypoxy Topside Paint Undercoater and Interlux Pre-Kote Primer. All TotalBoat products are formulated to provide great value and great results. 100% made in the USA.
