Product Details

Epifanes Monourethane is a one-component paint system. Years of testing and on-vessel experience have proven this unique topside finish to be the most advanced, highly engineered single-part urethane-alkyd resin paint available.

Monourethane provides incredibly hard urethane abrasion and chemical resistance with outstanding gloss, durability, color retention and U.V. protection. It can be brushed or rolled with the application ease of an enamel.

Promising on a sun-beaten front door (hence 4 stars)
By Bill from Palo Alto CA

Verified Purchase

Applied over acrylic (latex) in good shape. Longevity to be seen, but the acrylic got chalky in a year. The paint is VERY glossy, color is very rich and true to Epifanes color chart (in the sun). It seemed to brush better when I thinned it maybe 5% with Penetrol.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Purchased the paint and appropriate thinner. It covers OK but does not flow out very well and it took 2 days to completely dry.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

NOT recommended
By JD from Jacksonville, FL

This is by far the most difficult paint I have ever used on a boat (this is my fourth full-boat paint job). It is remarkably finicky to the environment - use only out of the sun (cloudy days?), but not in the rain (sunny days?), not too humid, but not so dry or windy that it skins too quickly. OK, use ONLY in a shop, barn, warehouse, etc?!?!? The instructions say that it dries in a day, but that's a fantasy - a week to a month before it stops being too delicate to touch for any purpose, because it scratches and peels easily before it is fully "cured", which I see as 1 - 2 months. I have had it bubble up weeks after application (yes, under a tarp, but c'mon), peel off with blue painters tape, wrinkle when I didn't get the thickness "just right", and just about every other imaginable painting nightmare. Plus, it's very, very expensive! I bought it for scratch resistance (top rated by Jamestown and others) but if it comes off in chunks at the slightest provocation, I'll be painting this boat in a couple of years. 🙁 Yes, I used their very, very expensive primer to avoid any compatibility issues. Their paint peels off of their primer - at least one is failing to do its job.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Tough and Beautiful
By excelwrite from Maine

In my 50+ years of painting boats I've used almost every brand out there. The Epifanes Monourethane is a superb, tough coating, among the very, very best. It is also tough to apply and requires the right weather conditions if used outdoors, the right amount of thinner, AND the right touch on the roller at all times. When all goes well, the finish rivals the best spray job even when rolled and tipped. In fact, forget tipping with a brush... use the very fine foam Epifanes roller to tip itself. You'll be amazed at the results . Order the thinner, foam rollers, graduated measuring cups, and lots of wet/ dry sandpaper and prepare yourself to go light, slow, and methodical. Practice on a panel first (5-6% thinner). You'll get a killer finish. I used it on my motorhome and saved a ton of money over a commercial spray job.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
