## Overview

TotalBoat Marine Topside Primer is a premium, one-part marine-grade undercoat designed for fiberglass, wood, and gelcoat surfaces above the waterline. It offers superior adhesion for 1- and 2-part polyurethane and enamel paints, dries fast within 60-90 minutes, and provides excellent coverage with just one thin coat. Easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray, this flexible, chromate- and lead-free primer ensures a smooth, durable finish that resists cracking and peeling, making it the go-to choice for professional-quality boat topside painting.

## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Final Results
*by B***Y on October 15, 2023*

The media could not be loaded. We used this product on our large front porch. It faces northwest and gets all the worst of the weather here. The porch was new pressure treated wood primed with two heavy coats of the same brand primer and allowed to dry thoroughly. The final paint coat went on smoothly and quickly, like butter, with no issues whatsoever. The one coat coverage was amazing! It has dried to a beautiful hard glossy finish. To the touch it almost feels like hard plastic. Other than the high price we have no complaints. However on our old porch we had used other high end brands such as Sherwin Williams and it would still peel after only a year or two. We are hopeful that this product applied correctly will outperform the others. Only time will tell I guess. I would definitely recommend trying it if you can stomach the cost. I’m hopeful it will payoff in the long term.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product, don't but it from Amazon.
*by M***E on July 1, 2025*

Excellent product but do not buy it from Amazon. If they send the correct color chances are the packaging is so poor it will be leaking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to apply and durable
*by B***L on July 10, 2024*

Used on the interior decking and gunwales of an open fiberglass dory. Went on easy with a quality roller (don't get the cheap foam ones - this stuff will start degrading those very quickly). Covered the original tan painted gunwales and the raw fiberglass deck with one coat, then applied three coats of Total Boat Wet-Edge topside in white (could have gotten away with two but we had enough for three) . A lot of sandy teenagers in and out and unsecured gear bouncing around in choppy seas with no chips or scratches. Time will tell, but I'm impressed so far.
