As a supplier of marine paint to the New Bedford whaling fleet we helped pioneer the development of copper bottom paint in 1879. Today we are still a family run business headed by George Kirby IV. Our paint is mixed from closely guarded formulas at our facility on Mt. Vernon Street. Standard Kirby products include marine topside paint, Salty Dog Deck Oil, Pine Tar, Wooden Canoe Canvas Filler, and interior and exterior 100% acrylic latex paint.
