TotalBoat Wet Edge Topside Paint

Comments about TotalBoat Wet Edge Topside Paint:

We put the Wet Egde "Topside" to the test. The finish is seamless with no smear left behind. We've dropped tools and all kinds of junk on the deck & it's tough & easy to clean.
We definitely recommend this product. See ya out there!

Cleaned, primed and two coats of flat paint worked great on the textured part of sailboat deck. I thinned 10-15% with recommended (100) thinner and brushed/rolled it.
I looked long and hard for a non glossy paint. Didn't want something with texture in it either (as deck already had textured surface).

I love this paint just as much as I love Jamestown Distributors. The only thing I buy is Total Boat products because I've been very pleased with what I've used. I wanted to give this paint a 5 star but I couldn't because of one issue I had with it. This paint dries very fast. I rolled and tipped the paint and within 2 to 3 minutes after I painted a small section it became tachy and started to dry. I do not recommend using the paint right out the can without thinning it. If you don't thin it within minutes it's going to start drying on you if it's hot outside. If you don't buy there Jamestown Distributors thinner you can go to your local hardware store and thin this paint with Naphtha. As you can see from the pictures it look like my boat was sprayed but if I don't tell you, you will never no it was rolled and tipped.

This is the second time I've used this product the first time I had problems with it hardening off and as a result it scrap and wore off easily. I am using the paint in SW Florida, high heat and humidy, and called Jamestown for advice to avoid the problem. The service personnel were courteous and helpful. I am waiting to see if their suggestion works. The paint is easy to apply and gives a beautiful finish. Instruction should be included for appling the paint in a broader range of environmental conditions, whi h is the reason for my four star rating, otherwise I would give it a five.

Easy to apply, takes days to harden off (be patient and give it time). Covers well even after thinning. Apply multiple coats and prep surface as recommended.

Paint was outstanding. would def. use again IN A DIFFERENT COLOR! Kingston gray is almost identical to gray primer color, but glossy. Everyone keeps asking me when i'm going to put the paint over the primer :(

17ft 1965 Boston Whaler needed a facelift badly. Called Jamestown for some tips and they were very helpful. I followed their recommendations and those of other users on this forum. Packages arrived next day. Unreal!! Hit the deck with Dewaxer. Sanded the boat with 80 grit to get rid of as much chalking as possible, then hit some of the cracks with Total Boat Gelcoat. Used a disposable brush for that per Total Boat video and then sanded again with 80 grit. Dewaxed gelcoat (not sure this is needed, but did it anyway), then hit the entire boat with acetone, again per video. I put on two coats of Total Boat Boston Whaler Blue with foam rollers and foam brushes. Used brushing thinner quite a bit (maybe too much) when the paint started puling. Five stars based on price, service, delivery, ease of use, and clean up. I may revisit this review after the paint sets a bit to see how it wears.

This paint stood up to rocks and whitewater on a traditionally filled wood/canvas canoe. I broke some ribs in the boat so the canvas had to be removed, even though the canvas was not damaged by the rocks we hit. What really surprised me was the flexibility of the paint upon removal. Look at the video to see how flexible the paint was - it was almost like rubber.

Used this product in whaler blue for topsides and oyster white for bottomand sides on my 1972 Whaler 13 restoration. Looks great and I will recommend it to others.

Painting a skiff craft good but if you don't use all paint the lids don't reseal and paint hardens but other then that it is a great product
