Rust-Oleum 207005-4PK Marine Coatings Topside Paint, Quart, Battleship Gray, 4 Pack

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.

Perfect

Great on fiberglass boats to durable stronge. Looks great.

a+ very good paint

Used the paint to refurbish a long neglected 14' fibreglass canoe. It actually went further than I had been led to expect, and I managed to get three thin coats coats out of one can. The canoe looks excellent ... only time will tell how durable the paint will be, though I know other users have been pleased with it.

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!
