Evercoat
<h3>About Evercoat: Over 70 Years of Repair Innovation</h3><p><strong>Evercoat</strong> has been a cornerstone of professional body repair since 1953, when the brand — then known as Fibre-Glass Evercoat — was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its earliest formulations targeted the marine market, helping boat owners and yards restore fiberglass hulls and decks with lasting results. It didn't take long before the automotive aftermarket took notice, and Evercoat expanded its line to deliver the same reliability to collision repair shops and DIY enthusiasts across the country.</p><p>Today, Evercoat operates under Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW), a globally recognized industrial manufacturer, and is manufactured in Blue Ash, Ohio. That American-made heritage, combined with decades of R&D investment, has earned Evercoat its reputation as the number one preferred putty and filler brand in North America. Many of Evercoat's most important formulas are patented — a testament to genuine innovation rather than incremental refinement.</p><h3>A Legacy of Industry Firsts</h3><p>Few brands can claim the volume of "firsts" that Evercoat has racked up over the decades. Their Rage® product line introduced the first stain-free body filler to market, while Quantum 1® pioneered 10:1 filler mixing technology for faster, more precise work. Rage Ultra™ took things further still with Eco Resin™, an environmentally friendly resin that also delivers superior sanding performance — part of Evercoat's ongoing commitment to green manufacturing. The brand has also been a first mover in high-build polyester primers, polyester glazing putties, and direct-to-paint body repair SOPs that help body shops reduce cycle times and boost overall efficiency.</p><h3>Products Built for Professionals and Serious DIYers</h3><p>Evercoat's catalog spans a wide range of repair disciplines. Whether you're restoring a boat or finishing a collision repair, the lineup covers your needs from surface prep to final finish. Their Gel-Coat & Gel-Coat Repair Kits are a go-to solution for marine applications, permanently repairing nicks, gouges, and scratches in fiberglass hulls and decks with color-blendable formulas that cure glass-hard in about an hour.
