TotalBoat Inflatable Boat Paint provides barnacle and growth protection for inflatable boats used in both fresh and salt water. This ablative antifouling paint is specifically formulated for Hypalon, PVC, and rubber boats. It dries to a durable, flexible coating that allows inflatables to be deflated and rolled up without the paint cracking.
TotalBoat Inflatable Boat Paint is water-based, so it can be thinned with water, if needed, and cleaned up with water when you're done painting. Easy to apply by brush, roller, or spraying.
Available in Gray, in a Quart size can, which is typically enough for two coats on an 8 to 10 ft inflatable.

Reviews for TotalBoat Inflatable Boat Bottom Paint

My inflatable stays in the water all summer and this hard to find bottom paint does a great job of protecting it from barnacles.

I bought this product for my 10' inflatable dinky which stay in the water all season. The quart arrived in a timely fashion and we commenced painting as soon as the weather allowed. First thing we noticed was that the paint was much thicker than other bottom paints I've used. The next thing we noticed was "clumps" in the paint. We stirred and stirred and I even tried squeezing the clumps with the stirring stick but I couldn't work them out. So we went ahead and started applying the paint. It soon became apparent that we would not have enough paint for two coats, so following recommendations on the can we added a little water thinned it out some. This helped but we wound up using every last drop and still didn't quite get the coverage in the second coat. Proof is in the pudding so with the boat on the water for 2 weeks now we will see how well it works.

Now my 4th season of using this on my Achilles lightweight RIB that is kept in Lake Erie. This paint made a huge difference in bottom fouling in a warm fresh-water harbor. Almost no weeds and reduced slime. It's very thick, so you have to mix for a long time, then pour out enough to use and thin with water (less than 10%) to reduce viscosity so you can get a thin enough coat. Good adhesion on both the Neoprene and on the plastic bottom. I prepped last two years with a scotchbrite and house scrub detergent, and it seems like I'm not getting a build-up.

Feels like the quart I received was dated and sitting on the shelf for some time. Paint was very thick (even after shaking and stirring) and contained small paint chips that spread on the bottom of my RIB. I would expect better QC, especially for the price that I paid.

Paint had some small lumpy things. I used a professional paint mixer/shaker before opening. The color was closer to white than the grey color shown on label. It was the only "inflatable " paint I could find.

Used this product for two years with great results. I leave my inflatable in the water for 7 months and the marine growth is minimal.

The ablative paint went on easily and two coats covered my 9' boat very well. After two weeks in salt water I can see no marine growth. Earlier this season, before using this paint, two weeks in the water produced hundreds of small barnacles and assorted other sea stuff.

There were problems in shipping causing a delay. The new shipping only system sucks. I will try to shop elsewhere when ever possible.
