Product Description:
Epifanes Nautiforte #NF25 Alpine White, 750ml (NF25.750) is a premium high‑gloss, non‑yellowing one‑component topside coating formulated with siliconized alkyd resins for exceptional long‑term gloss retention, minimal dirt pickup, and outstanding weather durability. Nautiforte levels beautifully, applies easily in a wide temperature range, and offers excellent hiding power from its high‑quality pigment system.
Designed for interior and exterior use above the waterline, Nautiforte can be applied directly to well‑degreased and sanded fiberglass, existing one‑component coatings, and thoroughly sanded two‑component polyurethane. For bare wood, steel, fiberglass, or aluminum, apply the appropriate Epifanes primer first. Nautiforte is available in three bright, clean colors: Ultra White, Light Oyster, and Alpine White.
