There is no better way to give your boat a like-new look than by applying a fresh layer of paint. And in order for a new finish to do its magic and bring the result you expect, the surface should be smooth, even, and properly prepared. Prepping your boat for the finishing layer actually takes about 80-90 percent of the total work time. Priming is a crucial part of surface preparation, which makes sure the paint adheres properly and stays on for a longer time. Applying the primer is the last step before painting.

Different brands use different paint formulations and develop matching primers for use with their products, and the best way to achieve the right result is to follow the brand’s recommendations. Marine primers may be designed to be used above or below the waterline, or both; work with one-part or two-part paints; some primers can even fill minor imperfections like scratches. We have the appropriate products for your application, sourced from Evercoat, Interlux, and other manufacturers. Here you’ll find the right primer for every surface on your vessel, including gelcoat, wood, fiberglass, aluminum, steel, etc.
