Hempel Brilliant Gloss 53200 is a 750ml high-gloss modified alkyd marine topcoat for wood, steel and glass fibre surfaces above the waterline. Its flexible finish provides colour and gloss retention while resisting salt water and environmental pollutants.
Hempel Brilliant Gloss 53200 is a high-gloss marine finishing coat developed for protecting and decorating interior and exterior boat surfaces above the waterline. Its modified alkyd formulation provides a flexible finish with strong colour and gloss retention.
Suitable for properly prepared wood, steel and glass fibre, the paint can be used on areas including topsides, cabins, superstructures and marine trim. Uncoated surfaces should be sanded, cleaned and primed with the appropriate Hempel primer before application.
The coating can be applied by brush, roller, paint pad or spray. Apply two to three coats for the recommended system, sanding and removing dust between coats where a smoother finish is required.
