Marine Paints and Coatings for Boats and Decks


Marine vessels require coatings that not only enhance performance but protect surfaces exposed to harsh sea conditions. Colourful marine topcoats provide a durable and attractive finish for topside applications. Teamac's High Performance Finish and Duracote Red Oxide are ideal examples - engineered to resist weathering on wood, GRP and metal. These coatings can be used both internally and externally, offering long-lasting protection with visual impact. Many topcoats come in two-pack systems, combining base and hardener for increased resilience against salt, spray, and corrosion.

Deck safety and durability are critical, especially in wet conditions. Hardwearing deck coatings such as Teamac Suregrip provide anti-slip protection, essential for sea-faring crew members. Suregrip is ready-mixed with aggregates and gives a textured, slip-resistant finish suited to wood, metal, GRP, and concrete. For a smoother option, Teamac Deck Paint Smooth enhances durability and lifespan on prepared surfaces. These products ensure reliable grip and weather resistance while extending the functional life of marine decking areas.

Boat and Marine Paint FAQs


Can I apply marine gloss paint over an existing topcoat?

Yes, but the surface must be thoroughly prepared first. Remove any loose or flaking paint, clean off contaminants, and lightly abrade the surface for better adhesion. If the existing coating is compatible and well-adhered, a marine gloss like Teamac Marine Gloss can be applied directly. Always test compatibility or speak to technical support before overcoating older finishes.

Do I need to use a primer with boot-topping paint?

It depends on the substrate. Teamac Boot-topping Paint can be applied directly to GRP. However, other materials - such as wood or metal - require appropriate priming first to ensure durability and adhesion. Skipping this step may result in poor performance and reduced longevity of the coating. Always follow product guidelines or consult technical support for specific recommendations.
