Pettit Paint Topside Paint

Pettit Paint Topside Coatings: Professional Finish for Every Boater

When it comes to protecting and beautifying the above-waterline surfaces of your boat, few names carry more weight on the water than Pettit Paint. Their lineup of topside coatings — found in the broader topside paint category — represents decades of marine chemistry refinement, giving both weekend DIYers and seasoned boatyards a reliable path to a long-lasting, head-turning finish.

The EZ-Poxy Family: One-Part Simplicity, Two-Part Results

At the heart of Pettit's topside offering is the flagship EZ-Poxy line. EZ-Poxy is a modern one-part polyurethane topside and deck enamel, with the addition of PTFE and silicone that provides a brilliant shine and easy brushability. That combination of ingredients sets it apart: advanced ultraviolet filters enhance superior gloss retention and durability, producing a topside finish with lasting gelcoat-like brilliance.

For professional and DIY applicators alike, EZ-Poxy can be applied by brush, roller, or spray — and using the "roll and tip" method, do-it-yourselfers can achieve a look that approximates the high-gloss appearance of a sprayed-on finish. It is compatible with properly primed fiberglass, wood, or metal surfaces.

Customizable Performance with Additives

One of Pettit's smartest engineering decisions is their additive ecosystem. The EZ-Poxy Performance Enhancer may be added to provide an increased level of gloss retention and scratch resistance while preserving the simplicity of EZ-Poxy's one-part application. For boaters who prefer a subtler sheen, Pettit also offers their Satin Additive #9080 for a semi-gloss look, making the formula adaptable to a wide range of aesthetic preferences without switching products entirely.

Broad Coverage and Proven Protection

Pettit EZ-Poxy topside polyurethane marine paints provide a durable high gloss or semi-gloss finish designed for fiberglass, wood, and metal surfaces, formulated for long-lasting color retention and resistance to UV exposure, chemicals, and weathering. The self-leveling formula applies smoothly by brush, roller, or spray and covers up to 600 square feet per gallon, available in a wide range of colors in quart and gallon sizes.

Pettit EZ-Poxy and Easypoxy coatings are ideal for restoring and protecting hulls, topsides, decks, and trim areas on powerboats, sailboats, and other marine vessels. Whether you are refreshing a tired hull or completing a full repaint after winter storage, the product's self-leveling characteristics help ensure a smooth, professional-grade result even for first-time painters.

Application Convenience Across Formats

Pettit understands that boat maintenance happens in all shapes and sizes. Beyond gallon and quart containers, EZ-Poxy is available in a convenient 20 oz aerosol spray format — perfect for touch-ups, trim work, or hard-to-reach areas where rolling and tipping simply isn't practical. For best results, apply at least two coats between 50°F and 90°F.

From a single-part system that fits the budget and skill level of the casual boat owner, to performance-enhancing additives that push results closer to two-part territory, Pettit Paint's topside coatings strike a compelling balance of accessibility and durability that has kept them a trusted name in marina paint lockers for generations.
