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.
Brush or spray on fiberglass, wood, or previously painted surfaces above the waterline. For best results, prepare surfaces with TotalBoat Topside Primer.
Select colors are now available in pints, perfect for boot stripes.

What's the correct process to spray Wet Edge Topside Paint? What type of spray gun is needed?
Jonathan
When spraying, thin with xylene (thinning percentage varies by the sprayer andconditions, typically 15-20%). Do not apply paint too thickly or proper drying will not occur.A pressure pot or HVLP sprayer will work.
Richard
Is it possible to add a flattening agent to the gloss paint (in particular the Off-White} to achieve a semi-gloss or satin finish?
Trisailor
Yes, you can add Interlux single part paint flattening agent to this.
Richard
Can I use Total Protect Epoxy Primer as the Primer for this paint
Ty
Yes, it can be used both above and below the waterline.

I'm looking at a Total Boat Wet Edge color chart. I also have a Quantum 99 color chart. I notice both have Aqua Mist, Oyster White and Flag Blue. Both also show Kingston Grey and Whaler Blue.Is this coincidence or are the Wet Edge colors based on and/or matched to the Quantium colors?The reason I ask is the Wet Edge color chart is printed and the Quantium chart are actual paint "chips" and in the sunlight the colors are slightly different. I'm thinking that if the Wet Edge is actually matched to the Quantium colors the Quantium chart my be a "truer "representation of the actual color as they are chips, not printed. Could this be the case?Thanks,robj
Rob
All but the Whaler Blue are real close to the actual color in the Wet Edge to the Quantum color chart. The Quantum Whaler Blue in Quantum is a little bluer than the Wet Edge.

I'm sorry about this but I didn't state my question correctly the other day. I had asked: ""I used TotalBoat Fairing compound and now plan to apply TotalBoat Topside Primer and Wet Edge. Not sure what amine bush is but I take it that the cured fairing compound will have it? How to I prep bare, cured fairing for primer and final coats?"What I MEANT to say was "amine BLUSH", not BUSH. I'm so embarrassed! Somebody mentioned that when the Total Fair cures, it will have a surface that has "amine blush" and that I need to take care of it by thoroughly washing with pads and soap prior to priming and painting. Is this true? Do I sand the cured TF first, then wash it prior to primer?Thanks.Jim
Jim
Amine blush is generated as an epoxy cures, and is sort of waxy, so paintsetc. will not adhere well.Just wash it as recommended. It is pretty standard to find this.

The fairing compound does not blush, just sand with 220 grit and apply the primer.

What Total Wet Edge Topside color would be equivalent to Awl Grip Matterhorn White?
Scott
Sorry, we don't have a Wet Edge match to Matterhorn White.

Will wet edge top edge paint work on FRP panels on houseboatThanks Garry

Yes it will be careful, this paint seems to run very easily. You must rolland tip this paint or it will be a mess.

I am painting a single rowing shell with Wet Edge Flag Blue. I'd like to create. Mirror finish if possible. Would you recommend a clear coat on top of the Wet Edge, possibly followed by polishing compound and wax. Also,for this desired finish, what sanding do you recommend between coats? Thanks
Rob
We don't have a single part clear coat available that could go over the top of the Wet Edge Flag Blue. It should be very glossy when dry. You can compound out any slight defects and protect with a coat of wax. Wait at least a week and be sure the paint is fully cured and hard before wet sanding or compounding. Sand between coats with 220- 320 grit.

I am in the process of painting my 1977 catalina 22 sailboat. The hull has been primed and painted with interlux 1 part epoxy paint. For the non-skid, I have decided to use rubber particles from softsandrubber.com sprinkled onto the wet paint. please recommend which of your paints to use for this application. I would also like to go with a semi-gloss (flatter) finish for the non-skid, versus the glossy finish.
Bob Heaton
The wet edge in flat white will work well for that.

I'm restoring my late aunt and uncle's 50 yr old Columbia 23. Used Totalboat primer and wet edge topside paint on the hull and topside. Used Totalboat anti skid on walking areas of the deck. Thinned with Totalboat brushing thinner and rolled the paint on using cabinet grade finish rollers.

Great Gloss & easy to use.

We just rolled and tiped our 36' Grand Banks Woodie, and the results were truely spectacular. We were careful not to add to much 100 thinner and the white paint flowed out so nicely that we almost didn't have to tip it. Great Stuff, sure e nough!

I really like the paint. I mistakenly used a NAP roller, which tends to put it on a bit too heavy but I continued to work quickly to push it out to the dry edge. Optimally running a thing coat with someone tipping behind you is the best method but I didn't have that convenience. Overall, I am restoring a 1989 Alumacraft and she really looks good.

Transom job on an old 1965 skiff. Faired the transom and hull with Total Fair. Used the Totalboat Primer and Largo Blue Wet Edge topside paint. Flows out very well with just a roller and minimal tipping. I will definitely use the Total Boat products on my next project.

Good product, good sheen and finish

Paint (when properly thinned and applied) lays down beautifully and leaves a very respectable finish from an average skill level DIY kinda person. Buy with confidence and prep with care, you'll be glad you did.

I used this to paint the hull above the waterline of my Columbia 23. Thinned paint with totalboat brushing thinner. Used a 6 inch foam roller for cabinets since I could not roll and tip due to the heat. Paint went on smoothly and dried to a hard glossy finish.

Made a 20yo pool slide look new!!

If it only didn't run.

Good quality, easy to apply and the gloss is very shiny. Gray paint over gray primer-one coat. My reason for only four stars and not five is that it had a tendency to submit to gravity on vertical and even slightly sloped surfaces. Had to keep going back over those areas several times to brush out the run marks. This was true regardless of how thinly I applied it. I recommend purchase tof his product, if you keep in mind the fact that it runs and the runs show, if you don't deal with them before any drying takes place.
