Rust-Oleum Marine Topside Semi-Gloss White Boat Paint

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

This product is very easy to apply and the results are awesome. I followed the instructions as stated on can. I did use a primer as I wanted the product to stick. I think I could have skipped the primer. This product flowed beautiful. I waited the 24 hours for second coat. The sheen is perfect. I wish I had found this product sooner.

Used this paint my bathroom including the acrylic shower base. A professional painter recommended that it works well and is cheaper and easier than special bathroom finishes. The vanity and shower looks brand new!

Was hoping it would cover in one coat, but it took two. Finished paint looked very good and appears to be very durable.

I got this for my laundry tub (plastic, typical tub). Cleaned & sanded the bottom and sides. Rolled on one coat and let dry for 3 days. Result: looks great, but I can scratch the paint off with my thumbnail, it doesn't adhere. First time the washer exhausted water (cold, not hot) some of it released and I could see old stains beginning to come out from underneath.Tube was never used for anything greasy, no acid type chemicals, etc. Just a plain laundry tub.I understand that two coats would be better, but if the bottom coat is not adhering two coats isn't going to make any difference.[EDIT 8/01/2026] Ok, it's been 1.5 weeks since my first application. The paint is hard and tight on the tub now. It took several days to really dry and cure. 3 days wasn't enough. Upgrading my review to 5 stars.

outstanding - dries quickly - a little overpriced

Refinished bathroom sink. Great results. Easy to use. Kept exhaust fan on to keep fumes down. 2 coats did the job.

Great topside coat and easy to apply. Last for a few years and then had to redo a coat. Easy to apply with a roller and paint brush. Looks good for paint and not a gel coat.

Perfect

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!

Excellent Product. Great value and quality. Goes on very easy and covers well. Battleship Grey is an excellent color for my aluminum boat.

This is a very good quality marine paint and definitely feels more durable than regular paint options. Yes, it costs a bit more, but in my opinion the extra price is absolutely worth it for the longevity and protection it provides.I used it on my canoe, and one of the main reasons I chose this paint was to avoid having to repaint every single year. The finish looks great, applies nicely, and is designed to handle the tougher outdoor and water conditions that regular paint struggles with.If you want something that lasts longer and saves time and effort in the long run, this is a solid investment for marine projects.

We use this paint on our exterior brick mold and wooden trim on our house. The last color lasted over 25 years with zero peeling or chipping
