Questions & Answers about Epifanes Monourethane One-Component Paint:
2013-05-22MARK PERGOLA asked: How do I go about getting a swatch card? My printer does not do the colors justice and I would like to color match as close as possible.
+Expand Answers
2013-05-22Ray DeLeo: I obtained an Awlgrip swatch card from Jamestown Distributors and they matched the color perfectly with the Epifanes. I was very pleased with results
2013-05-22GORDON SMITH: Call Epifanes. Especially if you're trying to match colors. You may want to locate a paint store/distrbutor such as NAPA Paints for professional paint match and mixing. Hope this helps.
2013-05-27KEVIN JOHNSON: I contacted the company directly via e-mail. They were very helpful and did send me a complete card with all the colors...as well as a DVD and bunches of other stuff. Great paint from a great company.
2013-05-09CHRIS WALKR asked: can this paint be applyed to sanded teak wood?
+Expand Answers
2013-06-07DARA UMBERGER: Yes. However, you should prime the teak with a compatible primer beforehand. Epifanes makes an appropriate primer. Unfortunately tere is paint covering the listed name, so it can't be read. Good luck.
2013-04-01A shopper asked: I have a 27' tartan already dark green and i will be painting with Epifanes dark green. How many qts do you think I need?
+Expand Answers
2013-04-05DYLAN REDMAN: I use about 2 quarts on the hull of 40 chris craft. It need to be thinned with peniofin and epifanes brushing thinner for proper results
2013-04-05DAVID KEANE: I'd just try some marine paint websites and see if you can get an estimate. I used this product on my Tartan 37 and got good results. I did use a primer though bud dont know if that would be an advantage to you. Anyway, you could address your Q to the Epifanes website or call their technical service.
2013-05-03BRUCE KACHLINE: A 750ml can specs out at 160 sq ft. I thinned it 10% and used an inexpensive HVLP spray outfit for good results.
I have a good memory, but it's short, so I don't remember how much I used on a 30 ft Catalina. I spray some CO2 into a can with unused paint and it keeps for six months. The CO2 comes in a spray from an office supply store. They use it to blast clean computers. Keep unused paint indoors in a temperature controlled environment. Give plenty of time for paint to dry. Up to a week here in Louisiana. |||| Bruce
2013-05-30BRIAN QUIN: Epifanes paint covers nicely. One coat should do it if you are a decent painter. Any light colored repairs will show through
2013-02-16A shopper asked: Can Epifanes mono-urethane be sprayed over an enamel base coat?
+Expand Answers
2013-03-03ATLAS PRESS: To make sure, please check with Epifanes in Maine, ideally with the brand of paint that it is giong over but I believe that it is pretty safe to put it over any sound existing finish.
Allan
2013-03-04DAVID KEANE: You should be OK but it may depend on your enamel. Check the Epifanes website and look under "recoating". An email direct to them might also help.
Dave
2013-03-24KEVIN JOHNSON: I am not really sure. It seems like you should be able to paint over the enamel. I would do two things: call Epifanes directly (they are very helpful) and next, try it on a part of the boat not seen just to make sure even it the Epifanes people say it's OK.
2013-02-14NICK SMITH asked: HI, I am looking to buy this product to use on bottom of a 24 ft boat, will be keep on a trailer , this is why i want a Good looking and protection of the boat. How many cans I will need ? Thanks Nick .

+Expand Answers
2012-10-22TOM ZETMAIER: Sorry...I used it over an existing paint and on wood. It has held up well, 3 years with full sun and weather exposure.
2012-10-22ROBERT CLIFF: I bought a bright red paint for a 3 inch accent line along the upper side of the hull. I taped off the area and sanded the old fiberglass with a 220 paper to slightly rough up the surface and then painted over that. That was done in 2009 and it still looks great. Hope that helps.
2012-05-18A shopper asked: Can I Mix Red And Yellow= Orange?
+Expand Answers
2012-05-18DAVID KANALLY: Yes. Try various percentages in small quantities first. It won't take much yellow to turn red to orange.
2012-05-18CHRIS HADDEN: I can not speak to the color you will get, I did mix the blue and green and it seemed to work fine.
2012-06-07DOUGLAS GREGG: You will get an orange. The orange that you get will depend on the amount of each. Also the shade that you get may not be attainable depending on the density of the color that you are looking for. ie. if you want a darker orange than the darkness of the red, it wont' happen. The yellow will always lighten the tint.
Doug Gregg
An alternate method would be to take it to a paint shop and ask them to tint the red to the orange that you want . They can use universal pigments to do the tinting if they are willing. Some may do it. Don't ask for a guarantee of results. I would recommend a paint store that does a lot of paint mixing and has experience. Not your local home depot.
2012-06-11JEFF STENNETT: I would say of course you can, it's no different than any other paint, but I don't have first hand experience...didn't mix mine. I found that Epifanes will answer your tech support questions same day, and talk directly with executive rep on the phone, so I have no doubt they will have an experienced answer for you that day.
2012-05-08A shopper asked: whats the coverage per can, or sq. ft. per can?
+Expand Answers
2012-05-09BRUCE KACHLINE: Epifanes states 160 square feet or 15 square meters per liter.
The cans are 750 ml and thinned ten to fifteen percent. They recommend two coats after primer.
This is my first choice in paints for my project 21 ft catamaran.
-Bruce
2012-05-09JACK KOSTEN: That is a relative question, depending on how many coats you need to apply and how thick you put it on. You will put at least two coats on, after one coat of primer. I mixed white with the color I purchased to achieve the color that matched the hull of my boat, so I cannot give an accurate coverage. I covered both port and starboard sides of the cabin top, where the port windows are, and the cockpit of my 27 ft Pearson. Mixing 50/50, I would estimate that it took two cans to apply two coats to those areas. I am very satisfied with the product and Jamestown Distributors.
Jack Kosten
2012-05-10KENNY CHRISTOFFERSON: I used this paint for a somewhat different application than intended. I painted my truck with it. It's a little Toyota and it took almost 3 full cans. Hopefully that gives you an idea of coverage. Oh, and the truck received 3 coats from that.
2012-03-26JOE M asked: Do I have to use a primer before using Epifanes Monourethane topside paint if my paint is good on the boat?
+Expand Answers
2012-03-26joe M: I forgot to say that it is also sanded.
2012-03-26TOM ZETMAIER: I used Epifanes one part paint on the inside of the cockpit combing. I used it over an existing paint. Sanded and fared with 220. Just last week I gave the combing cap a refresher coat of varnish and had to tape off the combing. I used 3M blue delicate tape, orange care. When I removed the tape some of the Epifanes peeled off. I did not use the primer. So it is back to the sanding PRIMING, then another coat of Epifanes

2012-12-19joe M: Thanks Tom!!! But I did end up priming first. I didnt want to take a chance and it worked out beautiful!!!
2012-03-26Rick Contestabile: I haven't tried it yet- but if paint is good, compatible, and preps, I'd try it.
2012-03-27KEVIN JOHNSON: As long as the paint on your boat is well applied and not a 2 part paint like Awlgrip, you can apply Epifanes Monourethane right over the old paint. Be sure to prep the surface by sanding and de-waxing with a proper solvent. You may want to fill any scratches and make sure the surface is good and smooth. Epifanes is an excellent paint with a fabulous gloss. That gloss will show every imperfection.
If the paint is bare gelcoat or another paint, you may want to use a primer. Consult Epifanes or Jamestown directly for suggestions. I didn't need a primer on my project.
2012-03-27joe M: Thanks Kevin!!! My paint is original 1986. gelcoat is gone but paint was good. no cracks or chips. I sanded completely and is nice and smooth. I think I going to prime just to be on the safe side!!! Thanks for the info. I am pretty excited about this paint I cant wait to see it complete!!!
2012-03-27BRUCE KACHLINE: Hi Joe,
According to Epifanes I'd say go for it. Wash with water and soap, rinse and dry. Then, make a tooth with 220 grit using an orbital sander if you can.
Roll it on thin and break the bubbles by lightly tipping with a brush. Allow ample time to dry and harden before a second coat.
Epifanes is my favorite paint. -Bruce
2012-03-27joe M: Bruce what is tooth?
2012-03-30BRUCE KACHLINE: Joe, tooth is the scuffing of the old paint that dulls the surface and provides a mechanical bond surface for the new paint. The sand paper does that. In later coats use a finer grit (higher number) or a scotch brite pad.
-Bruce
2012-03-30joe M: Thanks for the info Bruce!! That was great help!!!
2012-03-27PAUL SOBON: No, as long as the existing topside paint is well adhered to the substrate you're good to go. Sand out to about 180-220 but no more to provide "tooth" for the new topcoat.
2012-03-28TED BOWSER: I don,t think you need a primer if your surface is prepared properly--no scratshes, nicks or grease and wax. A primer would show all this up if there is a problem. I sanded my surface with 220 grit and applied the Epifanes with a 4" foam roller with 15 to 20% reducer for best results. Continue rolling each section repeatidly as you advance around the hull until the paint lies down smooth and flat. I did 3 coats in one day an hour or two apart, then sanded the next morning lightly with 320 grit and applied 2 final coats. Note: the Epifanies does not harden up as tough as gelcote or epoxy or two part urethane so be carefull around docks and bumpers and moorings.
2012-03-28joe M: Thanks Ted for the great info!!!!
2012-01-25ROGER D asked: I need to paint the bottom of my fiberglass 35 yr. old cabin cruiser. I don't think I want antifouling paint that I have to come back to in a few years...the boat will spend most of it's time out of the water.
The bottom has old paint which comes off relatively easy with a sander, but there are more pits and spider cracks than I want to individually repair. I simply want to do a reasonably good sanding job, not take it down to bare fiberglass and fill some of the inperfections with some kind of sealer and putty and then seal the hull from water penetration with an apropriate paint that I don't have to do over in a few years..
what do you recommend?
+Expand Answers
2012-01-25KEVIN JOHNSON: I have never used Epifanes Monourethane below the water line. Since my boat is always in the water, I used a great bottom paint. But I understand that many boaters will haul out or trailer their boats and don't need actual bottom paint. I would contact Epifanes USA directly. I have talked to them with questions and they are available and friendly folks to work with.
2012-01-25ROBERT CLIFF: Comments on Epifanes Monourethane One Component paint:
I can't comment on how the paint would work as a bottom paint as i used it to refresh a 3 inch accent strip running along the gunwale of my 25' sailboat. The paint has done extremely well as the boat is located on a lake at 6000 feet so the sun is very severe. The side that gets most exposure has not faded significantly more that the other side after almost 3 years.
I don't think the paint will fill cracks very well. It needs a smooth surface without flaws as it will flow into imperfections rather than "stand" over them. In fact my only complaint about this paint is that if flows very easily and drips and sags can easily form if you are not careful. Overall I found it to be a tough and highly durable paint for my purposes and i would highly recommended for top side work.
2012-01-25JOE FRANETIC: First is you can it's better to remove all the paint posssible then fill the cracks and pits with and epoxy with filler and sand then use a good epoxy paint below the water or something like west system to coat the entire bottom, foam rollers work good. With good prep and a few good coats of epoxy your bottom will be well sealed and last years. If you don't want to use bottom paint the only paint to use is a good two part epoxy made for below the water line.

Painted anchor locker cover with white Epifanes Mono-urethane on one side and Interlux Brightsides on the other. After several weeks drying time, Epifanes is proving to be considerably harder using my wife's fingernails sideways scratch test. Both products spread and leveled well and give a very high gloss.

From an application standpoint, this paint made a good result relatively easy. It can be used over epoxy if no blush is present. I used it over Maas Epoxy that was primed with Interlux Pre-Kote, sanded until about half the primer was gone. No adhesion problems, no drying problems. Great results. Nice color selection too!

I've used this product for three seasons on the topsides of my 30 foot sailboat.
In durability, stain and scratch resistance it is as close to a two-part PU as I have seen.
Easy to apply. Levels well. High gloss.
Caution: Doesn't hide well, so the surface must be perfectly primed.
