We offer products for the most severe of water environments that protect the hulls of all kinds of vessels exposed to water and offshore structures that are submerged in tidal areas.

Anti-corrosive primer for boats is a specialised coating designed to protect metal surfaces, especially those exposed to harsh marine environments, from corrosion and rust. It is commonly applied to boat hulls, parts of the engine, propellers, and other metal components that come into contact with saltwater or humid conditions. This type of primer acts as a base layer that enhances adhesion for topcoats while offering crucial protection against the damaging effects of rust, salt, and moisture.

Black bitumen is a type of tar-based coating widely used in the marine industry for its water-resistant, anti-corrosive, and protective properties. It is commonly applied to boat hulls, bilges, and other submerged or exposed metal components to provide a protective barrier against rust, corrosion, and marine wear. Its thick, viscous consistency forms a durable and waterproof layer, ideal for boat maintenance in harsh, wet environments.

Brushing primers and topcoats are essential components of a boat’s painting system. They provide foundational protection and a smooth, durable finish for boats exposed to the harsh marine environment. Primers are applied first to prepare the surface for the topcoat, which provides the final aesthetic finish and additional protective layers. Both brushing primers and topcoats are designed for easy application, particularly when a brush is used, and are ideal for smaller-scale or detailed touch-ups.

Decking paint is a specialised coating designed specifically for boat decks. It provides a durable, non-slip surface that withstands the wear and tear of marine environments, including exposure to water, salt, UV rays, and heavy foot traffic. The right decking paint can enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a boat’s deck, making it safer and easier to maintain. It is typically formulated to be more resilient than standard paints due to the unique challenges of a boat deck, which can be subjected to constant moisture, dirt, and rough handling.

Epoxy coatings are highly durable, protective paints commonly used in the marine industry to provide long-lasting protection for boat surfaces. These coatings consist of a resin and a hardener that, when mixed together, form a rigid and chemically resistant finish. Epoxy coatings are particularly valued for their strength, waterproofing capabilities, and ability to bond to a variety of surfaces, including metal, wood, and fibreglass.

Non-slip coatings are specially formulated paints or surfaces designed to provide enhanced grip and traction on boat decks, walkways, and other high-traffic areas. These coatings help reduce the risk of slipping, which is especially important in wet or rough conditions, such as when a boat is navigating through waves or in rainy weather. Non-slip coatings are available in a variety of finishes and materials, offering varying degrees of texture and grip, depending on the specific needs of the boat and its use.

Boat Paint Manufacturers

Black Country Paints offer competitive prices and fast delivery nationwide on a vast variety of paints, including primer for deck coating on wooden boats.

Specialist paint for boats give protective layers against moisture, such as rain, freshwater, saltwater, or brackish water. Metal hulls are also coated with marine paints to prevent the metal from destructive rust and corrosion.

Similar to other types of paints, marine boat paints have base coats, clear coats and topcoats. You’ll find various primers and paints that are specifically made for watercraft and marine structures.

Marine boat paint benefits from chemical properties and performance, such as epoxy sealers and primers, wood-finishing products, anti-fouling coatings and epoxy fairing compounds. Anti-fouling paints protect ships from organisms, such as algae and molluscs, that can impede their performance. Epoxy fairing compounds work like a filler to create a smooth surface clear from holes and ridges.

Here at Black Country Paints, we engineer our water-resistant gelcoat to provide a high-quality finish to protect fibreglass moulds. Our easy-to-apply gelcoat will leave a shiny, smooth finish to any vessel.

How do Marine Paints Work?

The marine paints protect by sealing the ship’s surface, shielding the craft from corrosive environments, such as salty seawater. The marine boat paint produces a smooth ship’s hull, reducing friction to help the vessel glide through the water, lowering the need for more power to move the ship through the water.

Leisure and commercial crafts rely on versatile polyurethane marine coatings that retain colour and gloss. They offer weather resistance from degradation due to sunlight, chalking and yellowing and have high resistance to chemicals, oil, solvent and water. Along with all of that, fast-drying marine paints are resistant to impact and abrasion.

    FAQs

    1. What is the difference between marine paint and regular paint?

    Marine paint is extra resistant to saltwater, rust and aquatic life. Whereas, regular paint, such as latex, is weaker and more suitable for interior applications.

    2. Does marine paint require primer?

    Yes, marine paint absolutely requires a primer before painting. Our boat primer ensures complete protection in all marine environments.

    3. Do I need to sand my boat before priming?

    Yes, you should sand your boat before using primer and painting. The sanding process ensures your boat is ready to be primed, removing leftover paint and rough patches.

    4. Is your marine paint water-resistant?

    Yes, our marine paint is water-resistant against even the deepest waters. It also protects your vehicle from damage due to aquatic life.
