This is not the paint your Daddy used on his boat! (And not anywhere close to the paint sitting next to it on the shelf at your marine store.)

Inland Marine Top Side Paint^® is specially formulated to have the elasticity and UV resistance required for use with inflatable boats. Because inflatable boats expand in the hot sun and contract at night in the cooler temperatures, constantly flexing, ordinary paint or vinyl stick-on numbers will not stay on an inflatable boat for more than a few weeks. But we don't stop there! We mix our Sealant in our Top Side Paint to further enhance the airtight integrity of your inflatable.

Inland Marine Top Side Paint is available in Red, International Orange, Yellow, Royal Blue, Grey, Black or White. (With changing weather conditions in many areas boaters frequent, International Orange or Yellow makes it easy to find your dinghy at the dinghy dock if a "Rum Front" comes through while you're ashore.)

Inland Marine Numbering/Stencil Kits Meets US Coast Guard requirements.  Rename or apply a custom message to your dinghy. [Our favorite is  "Refurbished with Inland Marine USA Products", but we do see a lot of "If Found Return Captain to (Boats Name)".] Each kit contains a complete set of 3 inch high stencils with all numbers and letters, a brush and our special paint in your choice of colors.

If you want to improve the looks of your inflatable a new coat of paint will always work. Make your inflatable unique. Add color and style to you inflatable restoration project.

WHEN CAN I USE TOP SIDE PAINT

Inland Marine USA's paint may be used on new inflatables to make them look new or on old inflatables to make them look new again. We recommend that you use our Liquid Rubber before you paint your inflatable. This will make the surface of your inflatable like new. Many of our customers have used Liquid Rubber and our Top Side paint to repair and restore inflatables that were 10 to 15 years old. To make you inflatable more reliable, use our three step process (1) Seal It (2) Re-Skin It (3) Paint It, with Inland Marine USA products. Then make it more difficult to steal by using our almost indestructible Numbering Kit.

Theft is a real problem for inflatable boat owners worldwide. Many inflatable boats look alike; it is easy to remove glue on numbering or numbers that are painted on with paints that are not made for inflatable boats. Like our Top Side Paint, the paint in our Numbering Kit has the elasticity needed to stretch and shrink as the air in the chamber expands and contracts. Inland Marine USA's numbering kit includes the stencils and the paint (available in 8 colors) to provide a permanent registration number and name on your inflatable.

The primary reason we developed our number kit was the large number of request we had from boaters in the 1980's and 90's requesting a numbering system that could not be easily removed by thieves from an inflatable boat. When used per the instructions provided the numbers applied with our Numbering Kit can only be removed by abrading the numbers off the inflatable. This makes your inflatable boat much more secure and will cause potential thieves to move on to an easier target.
