Rolling and Tipping Paint can be hard to get right. In this video we have called on boat painting pro, Hillary, from the Total Boat Tech Team. With proper preparation and lots of patience and the right method, your topside paint job will look like it was sprayed on by pros in a paint booth.
The TotalBoat Wet Edge Topside Paint is a great paint for topside use and also for cabin tops, cockpit and bulkheads and even down below. Get your WetEdge Paint at TotalBoat.com and choose from 20 colors to make your boat looks its best.
VIDEO NOTE: WE painted the entire hull of this sailing dinghy. Both topsides and the "bottom." This is acceptable use of TOPSIDE paint because the boat will never be left in the water when not in use - discounting any need for an antifouling bottom paint.
Wet Edge Topside paint should NOT be used on boat's bottoms if the boat will remain in the water unused for any period of time.
Thanks for watching.

Nice to have a helper. I painted a camping trailer using Brightside with roll & tip method by myself. I used a 9" foam roller and foam brush (instead of bristle). Use the better quality brush w/ wood handle and denser foam. The trailer had flush sides which made it easy. The end caps were curved fiberglass, similar to a boat. Need to be careful at corners, even though rounded they would promote runs if too much paint squeezed out of the roller. You can smooth runs w/ the foam brush if you catch them early. The purpose of the brush is to pop the tiny bubbles from the rolling. If the rolling gets too far ahead of the brushing, the foam brush will start chattering on the surface to leave ripples. Roll in new paint if that happens. Once you get a good rhythm going, it runs smoother and a helper makes that easier.

This video is great. Simple to understand. Great prep tips. Cuz we all know PREP is KEY to a great paint job. Her tipping is impressive, too. Thanks, JD. U always put out great vids that help my boat out!

Thanks for the video. I’ve only used Total Boat bottom paint and penetrating epoxy and both have been excellent. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with your varnishing guru Hillary several times and my varnish job came out great. I’ve got too small boats I want to try to paint now. Update: I called about using this polynomial an aluminum boat but learned you have a product just for that.

Do you know how to add color to FB resin? Use oil base paint? Limit to 10%? Mix w/resin, then add hardener? Thanks

I'm studying up on how to paint my fiberglass boat, 17' stays on a trailer. You just painted the bottom of your boat with topside paint. You got me a little confused captain. In the sanding process right now, haven't purchased paint yet. Would you have any recommendations for me?

We painted the bottom b/c it will NOT be staying in the water for any period of time that would require Antifouling paint. Skiffs and dinghies that will be launched just for short periods of use are AOK with topside paint.

I was all ready to see the final look and you zoomed so fast around the boat could see nothing at all about how the finished paint surface actually looks.

Yes, let's grab a chair and admire their work, great job Hillary and Eric :) In the meantime try the pause button or the HD settings, the video can be watched at different speeds, from .25 up to 2x. I watch a lot of other videos sped up to get to the good parts, JD does a good job of pacing, fast forwarding as needed. Where did the little skiff go?

@jay-rroquillas33 3 жыл бұрын

yes because they did not sanding again the primer paint they put before painting coz if u want it to be shinny like a mirror the primer must be sanded lightly with a higher number of sanding paper,not a master but thats what we always do in inland ships.

Am I missing something? Topside paint on a boat bottom? I am probably assuming Topside means above the waterline only.

@TOMVUTHEPIMP 3 жыл бұрын

The boat does not stay in the water so you can paint the bottom with whatever you want. You must not know much about boats. "Bottom paint" is anti fouling paint for boats that stay in the water 24/7

Why or what is the reason to tip?

@kentblairl 5 жыл бұрын

The tip smooths out any bubbles that the roller may have left, gets the paint going in one direction so it can self level. It is important to use the right roller cover as well, JD sells a great Mighty Mini roller kit for these type paints and a Redtree Fooler chip brush.

What is the point of the tip part?

@JamestownTV 8 жыл бұрын

+DBay Boyds Tipping removes the bubbles from rolling the paint on and gives a uniform and smooth finish when done right. A good roll and tip job will look like a mirror when done with no "orange peel" or sagging. It takes practice, though! Good luck!

You really should be block sanding between coats instead of using your hand. Using your hand has the potential to leave grooves where the contours of your hand apply uneven pressure to the dinghy.
