Review: Nice paint - 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
Review: WOW - New Tub/Shower!! - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this as a ceiling paint for a shower? For the tub / shower surround? What were the results? Thank you.**
A: Yes! If you get the tub repair/ paint kit you're spending $30-$60 or more,  and this does a better job at $15. Seriously can't beat it.

**Q: Can this paint be sprayed in an hvlp gun?**
A: I have sprayed gallons of this using a Harbor Freight gun.  Using 2 parts paint, 1 part acetone, and 6% paint volume of enamel hardener it will be dry in two hours and look beautiful!

**Q: do you have to use primer first on new marine plywood?**
A: I would definitely use a good primer like Total Boat before coating with Topside.
Also, I make sure that all voids in the edges of the plywood are filled, if necessary. (Boat Life is good for this)
(good marine grade ply should be totally sealed, but it never hurts to double-check)  Good luck.

**Q: Has anyone used this to paint over a Marine Tex patch?  I patched a crack on my gel-coated, fiberglass popup camper roof and I'm looking for paint.**
A: I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product but it takes a few coats
*by A***N on November 22, 2025*

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.
