TotalBoat Elixir is a fast-drying, semi-gloss, water-based enamel marine paint finish suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior applications. Great for topsides, coamings, cabin ceilings, lazarettes, lockers, doors, cabinets, trim, bulkheads, galleys & more.
Elixir's marine-grade formula is more durable than conventional 1-part paints. Powerful UV inhibitors prevent fading, while its forgiving, semi-gloss finish hides imperfections better than high-gloss finishes. Fast-drying, self-priming paint can be applied directly to properly prepared fiberglass, wood & metal surfaces.
Superior abrasion, moisture & stain resistance, no harsh fumes, plus easy soap & water cleanup also make Elixir ideal for use on cabinets, doors, trim, paneling & baseboards in your home.
Available in quarts, in 10 popular colors.

TotalBoat Elixir Semi-Gloss Enamel Marine Paint is a unique, self-priming one-part water-based enamel that helps topside surfaces defy the elements in harsh marine environments. There's no magic potion here, just a tough, moisture-resistant, UV-stable, marine-grade formula that prevents mildew, fading, chipping, and peeling, while prolonging the life of new surfaces and restoring beauty and life to old, worn, tired-looking fiberglass, wood, and metal above the waterline.
Elixir's gorgeous satiny semi-gloss finish can also add beauty at home—try it on cabinets, doors, trim, moldings, and baseboards, for an attractive finish that's truly easy to maintain. If it gets dirty, just wipe it down with a little mild soap and water. If the surface gets scratched or damaged, a little prep work and a few touch-up coats of Elixir will make the damage disappear quickly and easily.

This is very nice product. Smooth pull on painting and fast recoat time. Yeah. The color is more brown red than red. But not flat looking in tone.

I painted the Integrated Cargo Carrier of my Teardrop trailer with Sea Green and White Exilir paint. It did take many coats to get a good deep color, but has held up well over this past camping season. I have very satisfied with the product

I like the water-based feature, but it is difficult to use on vertical surfaces because it is so thin. Tends to run and drip. Also, coverage is not good--takes three coats where BrightSide would only take two.

A bag of paint- innovative and convenient. Put three coats on Whaler woodwork. Finish seems a little chalky, we'll see how it holds up out in the weather all summer.

The paint goes on as thin as water and does not have any opaqueness to it. Did a couple of areas one on raw plywood another on epoxy coated plywood and decided to return the paint.

Just applied a third coat to the cabin interior (and used a third quart). White covers white but nothing else though it's getting closer with each coat. Low VOC is a big plus for cabin interior work; primary reason I chose this paint. Plan on investing extra time, patience, and material in the project. Totalboat should consider selling it by the gallon with a price break for quantity.

I have now done two projects with this paint. Yes, it does take a lot of coats, but they go on quick and set up well. Two of us put five coats on the topsides of a Whaler in about six hours. So far both projects - an outdoor sign and Whaler topsides rehab - are holding up. Soap and water clean up is a breeze and the bags are great. One note is that two bags of product did not match. My bad for not mixing them together. We solved the issue with another quick coat.

The paint comes in a bag which is fantastic - less mess and no skim-over once opened. Elixer applies easily and dries quickly to a hard, even finish but is not terribly opaque. Even after four coats you can see the spots where I had sanded through to the base wood. The paint is very thin and requires attention to avoid drips. It's best use is as a refresher coat over a similar color.
