TotalBoat Wet Edge is a one-part, high-gloss polyurethane topside finish. This thick, rich topside paint is easy to apply and has excellent coverage characteristics. Advanced UV stabilizers ensure high gloss and color retention. Choose from 21 popular colors in quarts or gallons.
Wet Edge is easy to clean, resists staining, & has incredible abrasion resistance. Our unique urethane formula provides superior adhesion and flexibility, allowing the natural expansion and contraction of your boat's hull without causing the finish to lift or crack. Elasticity provides longer life and increased durability over leading marine one-part enamels.

Select colors are now available in pints, perfect for boot stripes.

Can I paint vinyl with this paint? If so, how do I prepare the surface?
Gary
  I'm skeptical.  If you're talking about rigid vinyl, you might get away with it, if you can find a good plastic primer. I've found SEM productsto be very good in this regard.  If it's flexible vinyl, I'd forget it. I haven't found anything that'll stick to that.  For what it's worth.   -2wire

Vinyl will probably not accept this product very well and is not recommended. There are paints that are specially designed for use on vinyl.

Can I paint Wet Edge over heavily oxidized topside?
Roger
Hi Roger, this depends mostly on what the material is for your topside. If it is paint, you will probably want to remove it. If it is gelcoat, you will want to sand it with 180- to 220-grit sandpaper before applying. You want to get through the heavy oxidation for proper adhesion.

For boats not kept in water will topside be ok on bottom
Tommy
I put this paint on the bottom of a 14 fiberglass Jon boat that is kept on ahoist. No problems so far with adhesion or blistering. I would nothesitate to do it again.
jbesemer
Yes. We commonly see customers using this on the bottom of boats that go in for a couple hours up to a couple days at a time.

Is your TB-0754 Pint White paint non-metallic? I would like to use it on my vhf radio antenna which Shakespeare says the paint must not contain a metal so as not to degrade the signal. Thanks, Ron
Ron
Hi Ron, this is a great question. Basically, almost any paint that is white contains TiO2 (titanium dioxide). There are a lot of people who question whether a thin film of this in the form of paint would have enough RF reflective properties. We have not tested this concept for RF interference, so if you are concerned, I would keep looking or researching.

Hello there, hey I'm wondering if I should use your topcoat stuff "wet edge" on my little fiberglass rv I have, and if so I need some filler for nicks etc, what say you?
Jay
I live in Texas where it gets quit hot and used the one part poly (we edge) on the top side of my boat last summer ( 36 ft. sail craft). I spent a lot of time prepping and taping. I must admit I'm Quit dissatisfied with the product. It is coming up and pealing everywhere. Did not even last a season. Now I will have to scrape and sand it off and go back to a more superior product. I would suggest Awlgrip or West products. Have used these in the past and they have given me years of service.Sorry, I couldn't be more helpTony. Â
tonypydyn
I used on my boat real done a fine job just make sure u sand like it says to and make sure u have it were the wind doesn't blow dust and pollen on it before it drys
scottiegregory
Hi Jay, we have had a number of customers use Wet Edge on RVs. TotalBoat Polyester Fairing Compound is a quick and easy way to fill any low spots, nicks or scratches before painting. You will probably want to prime over the fairing compound for best results.
JD Tech Associate
can you add glitter to the paint or add it to the clear coat if you add a clear coat to the paint
stevo
Hi Stevo, the paint is a little too opaque for adding sparkle into Wet Edge directly. A clear coat would be the best way to add glitter, pearloid, or other effects, and it will also give you the most dimension.

Which color best matches the original Tan color of the a 1989 13 foot whaler?
Daniel
We do not have a color that is all that close to your color, which if I remember correctly is a Desert Tan. Hatteras Off White or Sand Beige are pretty far from that color, but probably the closest thing in the Wet Edge paint line.
JD Tech Associate
do you happen to have swatches for paints (especially top side and non skid products)?
andrea
We have color cards for our Wet Edge topside paints, you may want to call one of our sales associates and see if they have any swatches on hand for the TotalTread at (800) 497-0010

Hello,I'm an artist using your products for paintings. For some reason, my last order of gallon Wet Edge cans arrived with rubber covers over top edge making it impossible to open. I punctured with screw driver to access. Not what I should be doing, I know. Help!Peter Skinner
Peter
Peter- hopefully you would be able to cut the rubber covers to enable themto be pulled off.The gallon can which has been punctured- seal the holes with tape until youcan get emptypaint cans at a hardware store to pour the rest of the gallon of paint intofor storage. Leaveas little air space as possible in the new cans to help prevent the painthardening.I've used this paint and have found it to be somewhat resistant tohardening in containers.Good luck!Rick

You can pry it off with a decently sized screwdriver.
vylanthan
Hi Peter, we have found that the plastic ring has far better performance in getting paint cans to the customer safely. There are a couple tricks that I have noticed with these rings. Usually they have one weak point from where they stretched to fit on the can where they are easiest to pry off by hand. If you cant find that point, a simple razor blade or utility knife cut toward the outside of the ring will allow you to pry it off, or cut the ring off entirely. Prying with a screw driver or any other tool tends to bend the can before the ring will come off. These rings can simply be recycled with regular plastic recycling, but they should not be reused.

Rolled three light coats over TotalBoat primer.Didn't have to fuss too much with the SpecialBrushing thinner but you do want to have it on hand.Wish I had faired more,Flag blue tends to excentuate the flaws or maybe I'm just looking to hard!

AQUA MIST! Best "sea foam" color on the market
5
I used the Aquamist Wet Edge Topside to repaint my 1989 Gheenoe Classic and it turned out better than expected. As a first time painter, this product was VERY easy to use. I purchased totalboat primer along with it for maximum adhesion and followed the steps on the can; 1 quart was enough for my 15'9" boat. The finished product turned out great and I get NONSTOP compliments on the color.

Rolls so smooth you almost don't have to tip it. I use Total Boat products exclusively and will not use anything else. 76 degrees and humid. I worked in small areas. Final coat used a 1 quart slightly thinned just to keep a wet edge. Look at the before and after pictures!

Easy Application, smooth, Great coverage

I used Wet Edge to re-paint the raised molded portion of the deck on my CP25. I thinned it slightly an it went on easy with full coverage, even into the bottom of the non skid pattern. It's slightly more glossy than I wanted for the deck, but it looks fantastic. I believe it'll last a long time, but time will tell.

TotalBoat special brushing thinner a must have.Once the flow is right goes on and covers well.I used HD foam roller.

this is an excellent paint

Used on a small boat after the total boat primer. A second coat was required but the results were excellent and easy. Used a foam roller as instructed for best results for my project. Boat would not be left in water so product was applied to sides and bottom. Because of South Georgia humidity, took a little longer to cure.

I was shocked
5
I wasn't expecting the finish to be that nice. I can literally see my reflection in the dry paint. The finish feels like glass. The trick is to roll it very, very thin, way thinner than you would expect, with several coats. If you go with thicker coats, the finish won't be as smooth. Go thin at optimal temperature. I was shocked at how nice it turned out.
