Pettit Paint EZ-Prime White Marine Topside Primer, 1 Gallon

Pettit EZ-Prime is a high-build topside primer and undercoat formulated for boats and yachts whose surfaces are aged, cracked, checked, pitted, or otherwise less than smooth. Supplied in white, this multipurpose primer is designed to fill imperfections fast, dry quickly, and sand easily, producing a smooth, prepared surface that is often achieved in just a single coat. Its high-solids formula gives excellent filling and covering properties, which cuts down on the number of coats needed and reduces overall labor and cost compared to standard primers.

EZ-Prime can be applied to fiberglass, wood, properly etched metal, and previously painted surfaces, making it a versatile choice for above-water topside prep work. It is not intended for use below the waterline. For a closer match between the primer and the finish coat, EZ-Prime can be tinted so there is not a striking contrast between the undercoat and the finish enamel once the topcoat is applied. The formula is crack resistant and water resistant, supporting a durable, long-lasting base coat for the topside finish. This product ships in a 1 gallon container.
