Get glossy, professional-looking results without spraying

Wet Edge was created so anyone could easily paint their boat’s topsides with pride and not pay a premium to do it. Of course, you can spray it on if you want to, but simple rolling and tipping produce praiseworthy results. Just remember always to brush from the wet edge into new paint, then leave it alone and it’ll lay down flat, smooth, and glossy. Be careful you don’t get a big head from all the compliments. If you need to prime first, our high-solids TotalBoat Topside Primer was created expressly for use under Wet Edge.

Lay it on thin

To get Wet Edge to cure to a rock-hard, super shiny finish, you have to think thin. Coats, that is. It’s loaded with solids so you don’t need to lay it on thick to get better coverage. You wouldn’t want to either, because it won’t dry as fast as it should. For best color and finish, we recommend 2-3 thin coats.

Very tough and very flexible

Wet Edge topside paint adheres to fiberglass and wood like wet on water, and expands and contracts effortlessly with your ever-shifting hull. Other one-part topside paints can lift, peel, or crack under this type of pressure.

Choose from 22 UV-stable colors or create your own

Consistency and UV stability are hallmarks of the available Wet Edge boat paint colors. From serene to bold and brilliant, these colors will always look as good as the day they were laid down. If you want to make your own color, just mix any of the existing Wet Edge boat paint colors.

Specifications:

• Coverage: 350-400 sq. ft. per gallon (approximately 80-100 sq. ft. per quart)
• Finish Sheen/Gloss: High Gloss (standard) (85-90°); Flattened (5-10°)
• Application temperature: 50-90°F; humidity 0-90%
• Application methods: Brush, roll and tip, or spray
• Recommended brush: High-quality natural bristle or badger hair brush
• Recommended roller: We recommend a solvent-safe 1/8" foam roller, designed for leaving glossy surfaces without any stipple or lint. This includes products such as ArroWorthy Mighty Mini rollers, or foam rollers that fit on regular paint roller frames.
• Do not apply with nap rollers. Nap rollers leave small hairs, as well as a stippled effect in the paint that will stand out once it cures, and will generally lay down too much paint for a proper cure.
