Interlux Brightside Polyurethane is the most technically advanced one-part polyurethane available. Brightside now contains Teflon for better resistance to staining, abrasion and easy cleaning. Brightside uses Polyflow 4000, a unique polyurethane resin, which yields excellent flow and leveling characteristics as well as incredible abrasion and chemical resistance. Brightside also takes advantage of the latest in ultraviolet technology which insures longer color and gloss retention. Together these technologies create a one-part polyurethane which gives the look of a two-part polyurethane with the application ease of a one-part enamel.

Good Finish, Easy Application
By Part Time Boat Re-builder from New England on 4/20/2008
Pros:
Covers well in 2 coats, Even Paint Distribution, High quality single part, Lightweight, Meets Expectations
Best Uses:
Detailed Work, Large Areas, Small Areas
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product applies and covers nicely! It's met my expectation for a high quality single part urethane paint. Nice finish, easy to apply by novice or seasoned pro, without the downside and danger of certain 2 part urthanes. A bit too pricey at [$]- [$] per quart, [$]per quart about right.

tough finish
By Bill the painter from Ithaca, New York on 3/13/2008
Pros:
Even Paint Distribution, good flow out
Cons:
some odor
Best Uses:
Large Areas, Small Areas
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have used this paint for over 15 ears and have continually been impressed with how durable it is. I recommend using the primer on bare wood substrates, sanded smooth with 220 grit to fill all pores. I usually do thee coats of the Brightside, wet sanded between coats with 360 grit. The finish is gorgeous. Mixing it with some of the fattening agent gives the same smooth finish with less gloss. Work in a ventilated area or use a charcoal filter mask.

Disapointed in the durability
By StLouisBoy63Verified Purchaser from St. Louis, MO on 3/6/2008
Pros:
Good color
Cons:
Dries Too Quickly, Prone to Blistering
Best Uses:
Small Areas
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I used this on my 18ft Cobalt Boat. I wanted to freshen up the topside appearance of it. I had my boat under a full portable enclosure with minimal wind but found the paint drying much faster than advertised when tip and roll applied.

The most disappointing part is the topsides starting bubling up by the end of the summer. Now the entire deck has raised bumps everywhere.

Great for bootstripe painting
By oldjagsVerified Purchaser from Shelby, AL on 3/6/2008
Pros:
Self-leveling
Describe Yourself:
Handyman
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'd probably want to use a 2-part polyurethane if I were painting the entire topside, just because they are harder and more durable, but this paint is great for painting stripes and smaller areas. Easy to feather out the brush strokes, and it levels itself and gets smoother and shinier as it dries.

Grat product for roll and tip application. Goes on easily and flows smooth. After a little final buffing, it looks great.

 
My Favorite Finish

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Brightside does everything you could ask for in a high quality finish. Will spray to a perfect coat over complex, curving surfaces like outboard engine covers OR can be brush applied when you don't want to mask and clean up a gun. Vivid colours, hard, easy to clean surface, fast drying.

 
Good Stuff
By DaveVerified Purchaser from baltimore on 2/13/2008
Pros:
Even Paint Distribution
Describe Yourself:
Do-It-Yourself
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy to brush out, doesn't leave brush strokes and keeps a wet edge. I've found it cures at cooler temperatures quicker than some of the other one part paints[...].
