Rust-Oleum 396959​ Marine Coatings Topside Paint, Quart, White

I used this stiff to paint the ‘hello 1960’s’ wall tiles on my bathroom. Underneath I primed with Stix primer which seems to really adhere to the tiles. Once it was dry I could not scratch it off with a fingernail so I assume it is a good base for this paint. Originally, I had issues with cratering when applying this paint and I was a bit hesitant to use it. But when I put on the first coat on a warm/hot, muggy day, no issues with a foam roller. One coat was not sufficient, although some folks might find it acceptable. For coat no. 2 I first scuffed the overnight dry paint with 320 paper, just enough to remove any lumps, bumps etc. Then I used a Mohair roller cover. Being bigger(regular diameter but 4” wide) it held a lot more paint and worked great. At first it took a few strokes to saturate the cover and there were tons of bubbles, but they all went away. This paint job had 80deg humid weather which I think was a plus. Slowed the drying process and allowed the paint to level nicely. Not glass like which might be attainable, but a very subtle texture which looks like its the way the tiles were made. And it is high gloss. We’ll see how it holds up over time but it looks great and a heck of a lot cheaper than a tile job. One caution. The stuff got old school VOC big time. I would not use it when you might have to keep a house closed up. I was thinking of spraying but I figured the masking, need for a respirator etc was not worth the effort. Overall, nice paint. It seems durable and we’ll see how ot works in a bathroom. I also painted the ceramic towel bar fixtures. They look like white smooth ceramic which I think was the result of brushing. To cut in edges I used the throw away chip brushes which worked fine. Not worth trying to clean an expensive brush with this paint

WOW, amazing stuff!! My 30 year old tub/shower looks brand new. My bathroom was long overdue for a huge face-lift and I was dreading the task of updating the tub/shower insert. This product worked magic, I am highly impressed & would definitely recommend!! It was easy to apply, covers beautifully with self-leveling & the end product looks phenomenal. Better than I imagined. If you have the time & patience, do it. Ensure your tub and/or shower is bone dry. Allow yourself ample drying time between coats and at least 3 days of cure time for the finished result. The odor is strong, wear a mask & have good ventilation.

I like it. Excellent abrasion resistance and adhesion. I got a quart of red for and old threadbare 14' solo fiberglass canoe. I usually use petit easypoxy...this is different. Easypoxy covers better but this seems to have better abrasion resistance and it is cheaper. I started by scrubbing the canoe with the normal purple concentrated cleaner (from any autoparts or hardware store) and water. I used acetone where the registration numbers were in case they still had the original mold release in the gel coat. I added in a few kevlar skid plates with pc-7 epoxy and feathered them in. I scuffed the whole canoe hard and tacked it. I then proceeded to roll this product on foregoing the cleaner and primer that they recommended. It was a low budget job and I was covering a red gelcoat with red, so I didn't want to see primer through any future scratches. It goes on thin, don't cut edges ahead or you'll see the lap. Don't do it in sunlight or the roller will pull strings. And don't roll over areas you just completed if you see a translucent area because it will run and sag. Let it dry as they say (think it says 24hours) and scuff it down and tack it again. This is when you realize how abrasion resistant it is...it takes a lot to scuff it. I did three coats if I recall...it was 6 months ago. Had I known I would have just coated where my skid plates and patches were because they were the only areas that stood out as a different color after the second coat. I used ithe canoe quite a bit and still launched it wet because it is only paint, but I beached it a number of times and shot a handful of old beaverdams with only superficial scratches. I did dig one spot when I slid it too close to a sharp metal edge, but I rolled a strip of fresh paint over it and it blended well. It does smell so moving it outside to off-gas is a must. I'll update if it fades badly from uv but so far it's still brilliant.

I used this paint to put a protective layer in the engine bay of my boat. We just rebuilt a bunch of the interior and the old paint wasn't the easiest to clean and looked worn out. I think it turned out great! The white is very very white, it will reflect in the sun, I also painted the cubbies in the boat. I did use 2 coats of the paint on each piece. The paint is pretty thick and seems to have some self leveling factor which is great avoiding brush marks. The paint is dry to the touch in 4 hours but any thicker parts will take longer. I used one quart on the engine bay and I ordered another to do any trim pieces and the cubbies. I have about half a quart left over. This stuff smells strong, I would recommend a mask for the vapors. It's also very hard to clean off skin and brushes so gloves are a must. We ended up using gas to clean the brushes and that worked perfectly.

Was hoping it would cover in one coat, but it took two. Finished paint looked very good and appears to be very durable.

I live in an apartment and the landlord refuse to upgrade the bathroom when I moved in I complain about the bathroom not being okay they have the all round tub and the paint had fallout the tub and it need reconstruction I wrote so many complaints they never did anything. I needed to feel comfortable in my home i couldn’t stand looking at bathroom like that. I kept researching So I came across this lady video on YouTube and she remodeled her bathroom with this paint . They said it’s for boats but it works wonders for my bathroom. I brought this paint in two colors and I painted by bathroom it has been two years now and my bathroom still looks great the quality is amazing you can see in the pictures how it changed my whole bathroom the rust prevention is great the color varies from the old one the texture is really good you just have to wear a painting mask and keep airflow within the area of use. It dries really quickly. If you ask me I would recommend using this paint .

I recently used Rust-Oleum Marine Topside Paint in Navy Blue, and I am thoroughly impressed. Quality and Finish The paint quality is exceptional. It provides a smooth, glossy finish that looks professional and high-end. The navy blue color is rich and vibrant, giving a sleek and polished appearance to the surface. Application Applying the paint was straightforward and hassle-free. It goes on evenly and dries relatively quickly, allowing for a seamless painting process. The consistency is perfect, neither too thick nor too thin, making it easy to work with. Durability This paint is designed for marine environments, and it shows. It holds up well against the elements, providing excellent resistance to water, UV rays, and general wear and tear. We used this for our trailer and it looks fantastic. Overall Experience Overall, Rust-Oleum Marine Topside Paint in Navy Blue is a great product. It offers excellent quality, easy application, and impressive durability. Highly recommended.

Need to thin with mineral spirits but about three coats does the job.

Perfect

RUST-OLEUM 207000 Marine Coatings Tops is a great paint with excellent coverage and quality. I originally purchased it to do some touch-ups on our baseboards, and it worked beautifully. The matte finish looks clean and smooth, and it did a fantastic job covering up stains left behind after our wood floors were refinished. It applied evenly and dried nicely without streaks. Overall, a solid buy—highly recommend for detailed or high-coverage touch-up work!

This boat paint is perfect on our Adirondack chairs. Lasts a very long time even by the sea. I’ve used the black and blue and color is rich

I purchased this to refinish a fully enclosed 36 inch shower. I used a high density foam roller to apply the finish. Overall it looks good except for one small spot that didn't level itself like the rest. In hindsight I should have used a spray finish for a perfect result. The paint dries in a few hours but I let it stand for 24 hrs before applying the second coat. Be aware the smell is very strong and after more than a week the paint smell is still very noticeable. I have used the shower and there are no issues with adhesion or water marks. Using a roller required the entire can for 2 coats. A spray finish would require less paint. This white paint covered the original bone color well. I feel the paint is durable,shiny and suited for this project. The only downside is you must be prepared for the strong paint smell that will take a while to dissipate even after it dries.

I have used Rustoleum "tub and Tile" MANY times on 3 different shower/tub enclosures to DIY and fix them up. It is a very messy thin and toxic smelling product. This is NOT any of those things. It is "thicker" so it covers better. It flows together better and DOES NOT RUN! Please take my advice and try this you will not be disappointed. I wish it was available in Canada but it is not, we are fortunate Amazon carries it for us. I am always wondering why we have such terrible products we must use in Canada as the good stuff is not made available to us. This is much easier to use as well, a beginner can easily refinish their tub/shower with one can, and giving it 2 coats as it goes very far. I see many people speak about the smell, well it smells much less then the Tub and tile product. That product smells very toxic this does not. The smell it does have disapates with in 1 hour. Good luck with your project and try this "Top side" out it will make you proud!
