Product Description

TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Paint gives aluminum and galvanized metal boats an attractive, corrosion-resistant, non-reflective low-sheen finish that improves concealment in natural settings. Great for aluminum duck boats, jon boats, bass boats, pontoon boats, trailers, and any other aluminum boats or boat parts, such as railings and spars. It comes in camo colors that you can apply one layer at a time to get a custom camouflage pattern, or mix together for a more realistic blend for your particular hunting or fishing area. You can apply it direct to metal and use it as a topcoat, or use it as a primer and apply the topcoat of your choice over it. This easy-to-use, water-based polyurethane can be applied directly to properly prepared substrates using a brush, roller, or spray gun. No need to etch the aluminum or prime first, which saves time and effort. You'll also finish faster because Aluminum Boat Paint dries extremely fast—overcoat in just 1 hour at 72°F, without sanding between coats. Before applying the final coat, wait 12 hours, sand lightly, and remove residue. Let the final coat dry for 48 hours, and you're ready to put the boat in the water. TotalBoat Aluminum Boat Paint can be used above or below the waterline on boats that float in fresh or salt water. This , chromate-free paint has an extremely low VOC content of 75 g/L, and very little odor. You'll also appreciate how easy it is to clean up with just a little soap and water. Compare to Sea Hawk Aluma Hawk, Parker Coatings Duck Boat Paint and Duralux Aluminum Boat Paint. All TotalBoat products are developed by boaters for boaters. We know what works and what doesn't. 100% made in the USA.Application temperature: 50-90°F

    Perfect color!
    Let me start by saying this is the first Amazon review I can remember doing but after using this paint, I felt compelledI know I’ll catch some heat for this but I did absolutely no prep on the boat before applying this paint, and went on perfectly. I was hesitant on the color because it’s so hard to get a solid idea of the shade from pictures but this was the exact shade I had in mind. I purchased 1qt and applied 2 coats, using 4” roller, inside and have plenty left over for touch ups when needed. This boat is outside all year is only used a few times a year for fishing or retrieving ducks (used redneck stencils for the bottomland camo). We have rocky clay around our banks and have seen little to no paint chipping even from launching off rough ground. Couldn’t be happier with this paint!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023
    Can was dented up during shipping but no paint spilled out in the box as some other reviewers have mentioned. I used this to paint the exterior of a 15/36 Jon Boat. I wire wheeled all rivets, sanded exterior with 80 grit on a palm sander, washed boat with dish soap and water, dried, wiped with acetone, applied Gluvit epoxy sealer to entire bottom and all rivets below waterline, allowed to cure for 3 days, washed again with dish soap and water, dried, used maroon scotch bright pad on palm sander to roughen epoxy coating, washed again with dish soap and water, dried, wiped with acetone, then sprayed Total Boat Aluminum Boat Paint with a Wagner Flexio 890 paint sprayer. Two coats, one hour apart. I did NOT thin the paint. Used middle settings on paint sprayer for both flow and boost. Went on smooth. Painting was the easy part. The prep work was 90 percent of the job. I can’t speak for durability yet but it looks and feels great. I hope it hold up.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
    I've painted cars for 20+ years, I prepped the boat correctly. A week after painting the boat noticed the paint scratched off with my finger nail, ended up pressure washing every bit of the paint back off. I've never seen paint not stick at all, not sure how so many people had good luck with it.
