Review: Works well, but give it a week per coat to dry. - 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.
Review: Nice 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this as a ceiling paint for a shower? For the tub / shower surround? What were the results? Thank you.**
A: Yes! If you get the tub repair/ paint kit you're spending $30-$60 or more,  and this does a better job at $15. Seriously can't beat it.

**Q: Can this paint be sprayed in an hvlp gun?**
A: I have sprayed gallons of this using a Harbor Freight gun.  Using 2 parts paint, 1 part acetone, and 6% paint volume of enamel hardener it will be dry in two hours and look beautiful!

**Q: do you have to use primer first on new marine plywood?**
A: I would definitely use a good primer like Total Boat before coating with Topside.
Also, I make sure that all voids in the edges of the plywood are filled, if necessary. (Boat Life is good for this)
(good marine grade ply should be totally sealed, but it never hurts to double-check)  Good luck.

**Q: Has anyone used this to paint over a Marine Tex patch?  I patched a crack on my gel-coated, fiberglass popup camper roof and I'm looking for paint.**
A: I made a marine tex patch to repair a crack in the deck of my sailboat, then painted 2 coats of this paint over it. It stuck to the marine tex as well as it did to the other fiberglass surfaces I painted. No problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG! Amazing!
*by C***L on January 11, 2024*

I live in a modest home with fiberglass showers and a tub. I'm also a widow in her mid 70s. One day I realized how dull and worn my showers were but I had no desire to have the old surrounds and tub ripped out because that would have ended up being 2 full bath remodels. I'd heard you could paint fiberglass, so I went on line and found out yes, you have to use marine paint, the type used on boats. I read the how-to's and looked at photos and reviews, and I bought the paint, rollers, etc. from Amazon. I painted my showers and tub and THEY TURNED OUT WONDERFUL! They look like they just came from Aisle 37 at Lowe's! The paint dried to the touch in a few hours, hard, bright and shiny. (Though I admit the floor of the tub took a lot longer to dry and kind of scared me. But overnight it dried thoroughly.) As for the smell several people complained about, I'm old enough to remember when all paint was oil based and stinky. It smells like paint, period. Not a big deal. You don't need a mask, goggles, fans and wide open windows. Just get over it. BTW, I had full coverage with one coat. You could do more if you want and maybe over time I'll feel the need. But it looks good to me and I have had no problem in the limited time I've been using the painted shower. Anyway, I did all that with fabulous results and I still have most of half a quart of paint left!
