Rust-Oleum 206999 Marine Topside Paint, Gloss White, 1-Quart

I used this paint to put a protective layer in the engine bay of my boat. We just rebuilt a bunch of the interior and the old paint wasn't the easiest to clean and looked worn out. I think it turned out great! The white is very very white, it will reflect in the sun, I also painted the cubbies in the boat. I did use 2 coats of the paint on each piece. The paint is pretty thick and seems to have some self leveling factor which is great avoiding brush marks. The paint is dry to the touch in 4 hours but any thicker parts will take longer. I used one quart on the engine bay and I ordered another to do any trim pieces and the cubbies. I have about half a quart left over. This stuff smells strong, I would recommend a mask for the vapors. It's also very hard to clean off skin and brushes so gloves are a must. We ended up using gas to clean the brushes and that worked perfectly.

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. Tub looks terrific.

I have used Rustoleum "tub and Tile" MANY times on 3 different shower/tub enclosures to DIY and fix them up. It is a very messy thin and toxic smelling product. This is NOT any of those things. It is "thicker" so it covers better. It flows together better and DOES NOT RUN! Please take my advice and try this you will not be disappointed. I wish it was available in Canada but it is not, we are fortunate Amazon carries it for us. I am always wondering why we have such terrible products we must use in Canada as the good stuff is not made available to us. This is much easier to use as well, a beginner can easily refinish their tub/shower with one can, and giving it 2 coats as it goes very far. I see many people speak about the smell, well it smells much less then the Tub and tile product. That product smells very toxic this does not. The smell it does have disapates with in 1 hour. Good luck with your project and try this "Top side" out it will make you proud!

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!

I turned my ugly peachy pink counter into slick white! This is a good alternative to refresh your countertops temporarily if a total renovation is not in the budget. I was very careful with surface prep by sanding with 80 grit sandpaper and a tack cloth for clean up. I applied 3 light coats with a foam roller and a very small foam brush. When I removed the tape after the paint was dry, I scored the paint edge so I didn’t rip off any paint. I am going to use the paint again on my shower pan and worn out countertops in my other bathroom. Make sure to ventilate your room and paint on a cooler dry day. Open a window and use a fan for drying and ventilation. Don’t rush the job.
