I am looking for this product in 00 E 55 WHITE but I can't find this colour on the chart for this product. Do you stock it in this colour? Many thanks

No, this product isn't available in BS 00 E 55 White, however we do have many other White finishes available including Ready Mixed White and Jotun Standard 0001 White shades as alternatives.

What is the mixing ratio

The mixing ratio by volume is comp A 10:1 part comp B.

I have a fibreglass boat with tired gelcoat; spider cracks from dings, chips. Generally needs doing up. I am considering getting the surface prepared using 120 grit paper, wash down with std thinners and then applying Jotun Hardtop XP. It is an off white hull and I want to use a dark red. Apart form maybe needing a few coats, is there any reason why that surface preparation should not be a good substrate for this 2 pack paint ? Also, despite my best efforts, I am expecting brush marks; can this be sanded and polished to get super finishes ? Thanks in advance.

We would advise any issues with the fibre glass such as cracks and chips should be repaired prior to application. Instead of washing down with solvents it is preferable to wash with a detergent (Fairy liquid solution) and fresh water wash. Assuming the fibreglass hull is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we would normally recommend to prime first with Jotun Penguard HB followed by Jotun Hardtop XP . But if the surface has a light scratch pattern and is very clean, then yes you can apply the Jotun Hardtop XP direct. We would recommend a minimum of 2 brush or roller applied coats. Once the paint is hard dry it can be buffed up between coats, but avoid using polishing compounds.

I'm in the process of spray painting my boat. I've been recommended to use 30% thinner N.10 but I've noticed the paint stays a little "gummy" even after days. Is that normal? Thanks

Thank you for the enquiry, we have contacted you directly for more information.

Hi, I am using the Hardtop Xp as topcoat on my narrowboat (on top of Jotamastic 90) but it dries to fast, which makes really difficult to get an even finish. It is recommended 1:10 on the hardener - should I reduce it? If not, how much thinner can I use (rough %)? I have Jotun Thinner No. 10 available as a thinner. Appreciate advise on this.

It is not recommend to alter the mixing ratio of Part A to Part B. The recommended maximum percentage of thinner for Jotun Hardtop XP is 5%, Jotun Thinner No. 10 should be used.

Can Jotun XP be used on Marina "D" fenders to cover small damage and abrasions marks?

Thank you for the enquiry, we have contacted you by email for more information.

Hi It says airless spray on hardtop xp? Can it not be sprayed using a normal air compressor ? Along with jotamastic 90 as a primer? Cheers

Airless spray is preferred for Jotun Hardtop XP but air spray equipment can be used (see Application Guide for details - this can be downloaded from the 'Download' section on the product page). Jotun Jotamastic 90 can only be applied by airless spray.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]
