    If you have just fibreglassed your pool or the old paint job is beginning to fade, it may be time for you to paint it. If you are wondering what paint to buy, you can’t go wrong with Top Coat. Top Coat is used as the final coat of pool paint to seal and protect the underlying fibreglass mat from water. 

    As Top Coat is an epoxy paint it is the most durable type of pool paint, with an average lifespan of 6-8 years. Being an epoxy paint it must be mixed with 1% to 3% of catalyst to activate hardening. Epoxy paints are the best pool paint on the market, and the only paint suitable for inground fibreglass pools.

Additionally, they have their non-standard colours which include Charcoal, Deep Blue, Cosmos Pink, Red, Yellow, Jacaranda-Purple, and more. Therefore, you can make your pool look ordinary or as artistic as you like with this range of pool paint.

    It is worth noting that dark or bright colours will fade over time. Ensuring your water pH is between 7.2-7.6, and total alkalinity is 80-120ppm, can reduce the effect of fading. Alternatively, white top coat pool paint does not change colour or fade as other colours do. This is why a white top coat is an easy and practical colour to work with.
