Скачать или смотреть Pettit Paint - Rolling and Tipping EZ Poxy Boat Topside Paint is EZ!

Rolling and tipping topside paint is a common method used in marine applications for applying paint to the upper hull and deck areas of boats. Here's a general overview of the process:

Preparation:
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants like dust, grease, or wax.
Sand the surface lightly to promote adhesion and smooth out any imperfections.
Use painter's tape to mask off areas you don't want to paint.

Choosing the Paint:
Select a marine-grade topside paint suitable for your boat's material (in this case, Pettit EZ Poxy).
Stir the paint thoroughly before using.

Gathering Equipment:
Get high-quality rollers suitable for the type of paint you're using (foam rollers are often preferred).
Have a tipping brush on hand for the tipping part of the process.
Use a paint tray or bucket to pour paint for easy access while rolling.

Rolling:
Pour some paint into the tray or bucket.
Dip the roller into the paint, ensuring it's evenly loaded but not overloaded.
Start rolling the paint onto the surface using long, overlapping strokes to achieve even coverage.
Work in manageable sections, usually 2-3 feet wide, to maintain a wet edge.

Tipping:
After rolling on the paint, use the tipping brush to lightly drag over the painted surface in long, smooth strokes.
This technique helps to smooth out roller marks and air bubbles, giving the paint a more even and professional finish.
Work quickly but carefully, tipping each section before the paint begins to dry.

Repeat:
Continue rolling and tipping in small sections until the entire surface is covered.
Be mindful of drying times and work efficiently to avoid lap marks or uneven drying.

Cleanup:
Clean your tools and equipment promptly with 120 Brushing Thinner.
Dispose of any leftover paint and solvents properly according to local regulations.

Drying and Curing:
Allow the paint to dry and cure according to the instructions.
