Paint Guides

When it comes to painting a boat, everyone needs to keep in mind that there are two different types of paint for painting the boat’s exterior. One is the topside paint, also called above-water-line paint, and the other is bottom side paint, also called below-water-line paint. Topside Paint cannot be used to paint underwater areas of the boat. If kept continuously wet, most topside coatings will blister. When a boat is kept in the water for an extended period, a growth of organisms occurs on the hull, which ultimately affects the speed, performance, and durability of your boat. That’s why we coat the underside of the boats and yachts with bottom side paint which prevents this growth.
