It takes time, effort, and knowledge to build and maintain the perfect yacht or boat. At the manufacturing stage, Mirka's marine solutions can make the surface finishing processes more efficient and with a better end result.
The quality of the surface finish and coating can be taken to the next level by sanding or polishing, or removing smaller imperfections such as orange peel, to get an even better lustre.
Topcoat marine paints can be applied after surface preparation to ensure that the topcoat paint adheres to the substrate and provides a long-lasting finish that can resist a variety of weather conditions. Mirka provides solutions for both fresh and fully cured topcoat surfaces.

Questions and Answers: Clear and Topcoat for Marine Applications
Topcoat boat paint is a marine finish that can be used both above and below the waterline. Topcoat marine paints should be applied after extensive surface preparation so that the topcoat paint adheres to the substrate and provides a long-lasting finish that can resist a variety of rough weather conditions on the sea.
The difference between gelcoat and topcoat coatings is in the thickness. A gelcoat is a coating of resin that is poured into the mould before doing the lay-up. Clearcoat is a very thin layer of varnish that is applied to the part after it has been demoulded.

A better choice for you and the environment
All polishes that Mirka produces are water-based and produced in Finland. There are many benefits of choosing a water-based polishing compound.
Solvent-based polishes may be effective in the short run, but they are more damaging and harmful.
