Pettit Easypoxy High Gloss Topside Marine Paint

Pettit EZ-Poxy High Gloss Topside Marine Paint

There are a lot of choices in topside marine paints, however, Pettit is an industry leader that creates superior marine grade products for all your marine finishing needs. That is why Wholesale Marine recommends the Pettit Easypoxy line of topside marine paints. Pettit Easypoxy paint is a great choice for areas above the waterline, as well as for refinishing decks.

Pettit Easypoxy is manufactured with an advanced polyurethane formula that, when applied, creates a long-lasting, glossy, gelcoat-like, surface finish with very little effort. This topside paint is silicone-based and goes on smoothly to create a streak-free finish. A high gloss paint, Pettit EZ Poxy has ultraviolet filters to ensure that the paint is durable and effective at providing a brilliant shine. Another plus: the finish is also fade-resistant over time. Easypoxy applies quickly using a roll and top method so that even a novice painter can achieve amazing results.

How to ApplyPettit Easypoxy Pettit (Ez Poxy) Topside Paint

Be sure to stir Pettit Easypoxy thoroughly before use. Pettit EZ Poxy paint may be applied by brush, roller, conventional, or airless spray. Apply one thin, even coat of Easypoxy per day. After an overnight dry, lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper and apply a second coat.

• Application Method: Brush, roller, or spray
• Number of Coats: 2 Minimum
• Dry Film Thickness per Coat: 1.5 mils (3 wet mils)
• Coverage: 600 sq. ft/gal.
• Application Temp: 50°F Min. / 90°F Max.
• Thinner: 120 Brushing, 121 Spraying

It's recommended to not thin Pettit EZ Poxy paint when applying with a brush or roller, however, in hot weather 5-10% of Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner can be added to maintain a wet edge. For best results when applying a topside marine paint on large, smooth surfaces, roll out using a short nap roller followed immediately by leveling off with the tip of a brush. For conventional spray applications, thin 15-20% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner. For airless spray application, thin up to 5% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner. Utilize a 0.11-0.15" diameter tip for application.

Non-Fiberglass Surface Preparation

Bare Wood:

• Sand surface smooth with 80-120 grit sandpaper, then solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner to remove residue.
• Fill all screw heads or small holes with 7050 EZ-Fair Epoxy Fairing Compound; sand flush and solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner.
• Apply a coat of 2018 EZ WoodSealer to penetrate and seal the porous grain. Follow with one or two coats of 6149 EZ Prime until an evenly smooth base condition is reached; sand each coat with 80-120 grit sandpaper and solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner.
• Proceed with the first finish coat of Pettit Easypoxy.
• Bare wood that has been epoxied must be thoroughly scrubbed with an ammonia/water solution then sanded with 120 grit sandpaper and solvent cleaned with Pettit 120 Thinner.
• Follow with a coat of 6149 EZ Prime to smooth the surface and provide a uniform base.
• Sand well and solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner, then proceed with the first coat of Easypoxy.

Steel Hulls:

• The surface must be cleaned to a bright finish by sandblasting or grinding; remove blast residue.
• Immediately apply one coat of 6980 Rustlok Primer; allow to dry until tacky. If the surface is rough, apply a coat of 6627 Tie-Coat Primer; sand well and solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner.
• Repeat application as needed until a smooth, uniform base is reached. Proceed with the first coat of Easypoxy.

Aluminum:

• Wipe the surface free of oil and grease with Pettit 120 Thinner.
• Remove oxidation and etch the surface with medium grit emery cloth; remove sanding residue.
• Apply one thin “wet” coat of 6455/044 Metal Primer; allow to dry at least two hours. Proceed with the first coat of Easypoxy.
• 6149 EZ Prime can be used over the 6455/044 Metal Primer for smoothing surfaces if desired.

Application Notes

• Applying two or more coats of EZ Poxy topside marine paint in one day is not recommended. Nor is applying excessively heavy films (greater than 4 wet mils) as this will lead to insufficient through-drying of the paint and will yield soft paint films.
• Do not apply EZ Poxy Paint on extremely humid days (90°+ RH) or when rain is threatening.
• Do not apply in the late afternoon when working outdoors as the wet film may be adversely affected by dew.
• When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at or above 50°F for at least 8 hours after application.
