Hardtop AX

TOP
SELLER

A two-pack glossy polyurethane topcoat with excellent gloss and colour retention.  Suitable for brush/roll as well as spray application.  Hardtop AX has good chemical resistance and can be used in aggressive atmospheric environments.

Easier to use than many 2 pack polyurethanes (particularly when brushing and rolling),  Hardtop AX gives a glossy, durable finish.  It offers high sag resistance, low level of spray dust, low odour and a consistent gloss.  Hardtop AX has much better abrasion and chemical resistance that Hardtop XP.

High volume solids (63%) compared to traditional polyurethanes results in low VOCs making it a modern topcoat with a lower environmental impact.

Available in 5 litre & 20 litre sizes.

What our customers say

Thanks, paint just delivered this morning. Excellent service from you and the company. Keep up the good work! - Robert Higgins - Edinburgh
Great marine paints. - James Crompton
We are very impressed with the CU-PRO anti fouling. Just dried out the yacht after 14 months continuous immersion and the anti fouling had repelled growth very well, delighted with the anti fouling’s performance and will be re-coating with CU-PRO before re launch in spring next year. - Ian Binnie - Argyll
Ordered and delivered within 2 working days. Outstanding service and communication. My order from another company who makes for the trade still not here after a month! - David Black - Denny, Scotland
Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with your products. I have just completed painting my boat and I am thrilled with the result. Excellent product and service – cheers - Adrian Mickleson - East Molesey
I was delighted with your service and am in the process of placing another order i paint boats for a living haven’t had the pleasure of using your product but found it easy to use. - Brian Wholey - Lancashire
Your website is imho, one of the best in the business. Great products, advice and all the ancillaries needed to get a first rate result, delivered swiftly at a very fair price indeed. Tops! - Tim Allen - East Sussex
My boat went back in the water today! I would like to thank SML for the great service you provided, both over the phone, super quick delivery, but above all an excellent product. The boat looks great - Steve Duffy - Staines
I used your SHIELD Surface Tolerant Primer and am hugely impressed with the results - this is by far the best result I've had out of many different paints I've tried for this task! The performance is all the more remarkable since the keels sink into highly abrasive harbour mud every low tide, which scours most coatings off. - Mark Hartswood - Scottish Borders
Thank you very much for a superb product. I used Cupro for the second year at June 2019. On 15th May 2020 - after lock-down, I returned to the boat to find a heavy curtain of weed growing in a "slime" of mud on the hull. I brushed off the mud - the weed went with it, and you could believe the boat had been freshly anti-fouled that day. Excellent - a superb product. - Rod Edmunds - Hayling Island
Excellent Company. Very good knowledge of products and can't do enough for you. I have used this company for around 10 years. - Joseph Wiggins
Helpful, professional and know their products. - John Richards
Thank you for the excellent service and advice I have received From yourselves. I have placed 3 orders recently and have received every one exactly when I was supposed to. Each item has been brilliantly packed - I will certainly be recommending you to all the other boat owners I know. - Paul Andrews - West Sussex
Many thanks for a wonderful service which would be hard to equal, I have never felt more confident in using your company - Thank you - John Parkin - Mexborough
Couldn't be more helpful and professional. The best paint company I've ever used. - Glosstock Sales
Hello guys, the customer service I received when I was calling for advice really was excellent, I'll be recommending you to all my fellow boaters - Richard Sergejev - Hertfordshire
Recently used SML to order paint for my dutch barge. All the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about products. They even managed to get a package sent out to me next day when I had come up short on thinners at the end of a long day spraying. I will definitely order paints from here in future. - Christopher French
Thank you for the exemplary service, the paint tins were so well packed, and the surprise Document Pack, was very helpful. That, combined with very swift delivery, was most impressive - D G & B L Lewis - Cardiff
Excellent customer service and competitively-priced products. Their product knowledge is solid and if you have any questions about the application process etc. they are quick to respond with input/advice. Recommended - Matthew Traver - Kent
If you require anti fouling paints - Go no where else! I have used all the leading antifoul manufacturers paints over 30 years. CU-PRO is the best on the market, does the best job and even cheaper than most of the others. SML are a quality company and with the best products. - David Rosser
