Comments about Interlux Interlux Bilgekote:

I used this paint for the cockpit in my late 60s Oday Daysailer I. Since its an open cockpit single wall boat, the cockpit is also the bilge so I wanted a hard wearing paint that could take the water and the abuse. I don't have any long term reliability, ie just painted a few days ago I can say this: This paint goes on easy with a roller and looks great. Dries quickly and with 3 coats it has left a hard glossy finish I'm really happy with.

Preparation is everything, so make sure to sand and prep the surface accordingly. And either spring for the Brushing Liquid 333 or make your own at home (Protip: MSDS sheets list ingredients)

I have used Bilgekote, both gray and white, on a number of fiberglass bilges which had been in a bad way due to standing water infiltration. The water, naturally, had a cover of oil, and some boats had a cake of ice on top. (Midwest winters are rough on unattended boats.) With proper preparation, the paint adheres tenaciously and lasts and lasts. It is abrasion resistant, and makes the bilge look as if it just left the construction mould. Just remember a clean bilge is the sign of a happy sailor. This is a darn good product. Thanks, paint scientists at Interlux.

We have an older sailboat and you would never know it looking at the bilge! This paint is very easy to use, you can even apply it with a foam brush. It goes on pretty thick but dries incredibly hard and glossy - making it a very cleanable surface. It also has excellent self leveling properties. We have used it over fiberglass and wood. When using a few coats over wood, it's hard to tell if it's wood or fiberglass!
