Our topside primer is a one coat wonder!

The substantial solids in our Topside Primer create a coating that covers completely, in a single application. You actually want to paint it on thinner so the solids can fill any small surface imperfections and dry properly. A thinner coat is also more pliable and able to flex without lifting. When it’s dry, just sand lightly, wipe clean, and apply your topside finish. It doesn’t get any easier. Just remember to spend a full five minutes stirring it well before applying, so you get more solids off the bottom of the can and onto your brush or roller. Or into your sprayer.

Under or over, this primer goes above and beyond

This versatile topside primer is a solid, easy-sanding undercoat for both one and two-part polyurethane or enamel paints. If you need to hide larger imperfections first, use TotalFair epoxy fairing compound, then overcoat with Topside Primer before applying your topcoat. It’s the recommended primer for our Wet Edge topside paint, TotalTread non-skid deck paint,and TotalGold marine paints. Compared to the competition, it goes on thinner, covers more area, is more flexible, requires fewer coats, and dries faster.
