International Toplac Plus Topcoat – High Gloss Marine Paint

International Toplac Plus Topcoat is a premium single-pack high-gloss marine paint designed to produce a deep, smooth and durable finish on boats and yachts above the waterline.

Formulated using advanced silicone alkyd technology, Toplac Plus provides excellent flow and levelling with enhanced colour retention and UV resistance. It is designed to be exceptionally easy to apply by brush, roller or pad, making it an excellent marine topcoat for both DIY boat owners and experienced painters.

Unlike traditional brush-and-roller topcoats, Toplac Plus does not require tipping off, helping make it easier to achieve a smooth, professional-looking finish.

Available from Barton Marine NZ in a range of popular marine colours and 500ml or 1L sizes, International Toplac Plus is ideal for hull topsides, superstructures and other suitably prepared surfaces above the waterline.

Premium High-Gloss Boat Finish

Toplac Plus is designed to create the deep, lustrous high-gloss appearance associated with a quality yacht finish.

The formulation provides excellent flow-out characteristics, helping brush and roller marks level as the paint cures.

This makes Toplac Plus particularly suitable for boat owners who want a professional-looking finish without moving to the additional complexity of a two-pack polyurethane paint system.

No Tipping Off Required

One of the major advantages of International Toplac Plus is its improved application characteristics.

Traditional roll-and-tip painting involves one person applying paint with a roller while another follows immediately with a brush to remove roller texture and improve levelling.

Toplac Plus has been formulated so that tipping off is not required.

Its smooth flow-out characteristics make it possible to achieve an excellent finish using a suitable roller, brush or pad while simplifying the painting process.

For DIY boat owners, this can make repainting yacht topsides considerably easier.

Excellent UV & Colour Resistance

Boat topsides are continuously exposed to strong sunlight and UV radiation.

Toplac Plus contains UV filters for increased durability and is formulated to provide enhanced colour longevity.

This helps the painted surface retain its appearance despite ongoing exposure to New Zealand's demanding outdoor and marine environment.

Suitable for Yacht & Boat Topsides

International Toplac Plus is specifically designed for above-waterline applications.

Typical applications include:

• Yacht topsides
• Launch topsides
• Powerboat topsides
• Boat superstructures
• Cabin sides
• Transoms
• Cockpit surfaces
• Above-waterline trim
• Other suitably prepared marine surfaces

Toplac Plus is not an antifouling paint and is not intended as an underwater hull coating.

For areas permanently immersed below the waterline, use a suitable International underwater coating and antifouling system.
