Crystal Paints Marine Paint is a quick drying polyurethane paint that can be brushed rolled or sprayed onto exterior and interior surfaces. Can be painted on timber (Crystal Timber/Plywood Sealer required), fibreglass, steel (Crystal Red or Grey Oxide Primer required) and aluminium (may need etch priming).It is a hard wearing and long lasting vibrant paint with a gloss finish. The paint is made in Australia and all raw materials are locally sourced. 

The paint does not require a special primer for fibreglass, however some aluminium surfaces may need an acid etch (A 1:1 ratio of Hydrochloric Acid (Pool Acid) and water is recommended by the manufacturer and all timber will need a coat of Crystal Paints Marine Plywood & Timber Sealer prior to painting. The Crystal Paints Marine Paint is made up using an advanced formula allowing it to stick to virtually all pre-painted surfaces (A test patch is should be applied to each different variant of paint or surface to ensure there are no compatibility issues). 

·        It can be used on fibreglass, aluminium, steel and timber (certain primers may be required).

·        Up to 12 square metres per 1 litre can*

·        Dry time 2-4 hours

PREPARATION:

​

Make sure you stir the paint well and check for settling on the bottom of the can before painting. 

Sand the surface with 240 – 320 grit sandpaper and clean very well (No special cleaners required just remove all dust, dirt, salt etc.). 

Using a fine bristle brush or a short nap roller like a mohair is the easiest application method for non-experienced painters. 

If you’re going to spray, you will need to thin the paint out with mineral turps to avoid spitting, resulting in a clean smooth surface. Thinning percentages will vary depending on your spray unit; start with 3% and keep adding in small increments (No more than 15%) until it comes out of your spray unit without spitting).

If painting floors, an anti-slip grit must be added between coats.

 ​​

Crystal Paints Marine Paint dries in 2-4 hours and can be re-coated in 2-4 hours depending weather conditions. It is recommended that you let the paint cure for at least 72 hours prior to using your boat (customers have used within a day or so, the longer you leave it the better your finish will be).

​

1 litre of paint can cover up to 12 square metres* however it can go further depending on how it’s applied. 

​

To clean up use Mineral turpentine.

Do not paint if the temperature is less than 12 degrees C.

We recommend you use gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, breathing apparatus, protective footwear, and have adequate ventilation.

* Coverage WILL vary depending on a multitude of factors e.g. type of application, experience etc.
