Overview

Our heritage colour range has been carefully formulated with inspiration from our beautiful inland waterways. Try a sample of Black as part of our latest colour palette and bring your dream Narrowboat to life with this smart black hue.

Coal was historically transported via the Nottingham Canal where it joined the popular Erewash Canal. The surviving canal that was once part of a much larger route (now derelict) is located at The Castle Wharf. This vibrant hotspot features the Canal House Bar - a solid red-brick wharf located on a stretch of Nottingham's canal basin on the water's edge. Featuring Iron columns and river-dotted girders - our versatile Black Topcoat is suited for similar industrial chic designs, and will look elegant when paired with any of our Symphony Narrowboat Topcoat colour range.

Our Symphony Narrowboat Paint Gloss is a traditional ultra-high quality high solids coach enamel, achieving a 90% gloss sheen level. It is a high build long oil synthetic paint designed for brush, roller and spray application with a high level of pigmentation. This is the ultimate hardwearing durable finish for your boat coating project, boosting longevity and long-lasting colour retention. The deep colour flattens out to leave a smooth high gloss mirror finish. Also available in a Raddle finish for roofs and flat areas, or an anti-slip for walkways.

PREPARATION

We recommend two coats of Symphony Narrowboat Paint Brush Primer and three coats of Symphony Narrowboat Paint Undercoat prior to using this product. Before application of Symphony Narrowboat Topcoat we recommended the surfaces which have been suitably sanded to the correct dry film weight. For machine sanding, we recommend you use sia 1948 S Performance Discs 180 – 320 Grit. For manual sanding, use 6120 sia fleece handpads 180 – 320 Grit.

The surface must be cleaned using a tack cloth to remove all traces of contaminants.

Ensure surfaces are dry and smooth to the touch before painting.

APPLICATION

We recommend three coats of Symphony Narrowboat Paint Topcoat Gloss. Apply using a brush or roller. Our recommendation for a premium synthetic brushes is the superb Purdy Monarch Elite.

A light flatting can be done after the second coat using 6120 sia fleece handpad 320 Grit.
