Interlux Brightside Polyurethane is the most technically advanced one-part polyurethane available. It contains unique additives that make cleaning easier and help reduce stains and abrasion.
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.

Which is the proper off-white for an 86 Hatteras Brightside 4208 or 4218?
Douglas
Not sure, the 4218 is slightly lighter than the 4208.

I just finished building a 16' wooden dory, and am looking to purchase paint for it. Looking at your catalog and website, I am leaning towards Brightside one part polyurethane. It shows that it can be sprayed using #216 thinner, but all the reviews are about using a brush and/or roller. So..... can it be sprayed in a booth with a spray gun? The item numbers are 4208Q and 4351Q. Thank you in advance.
Joseph
Yes it can be sprayed using the 216 thinner.

Hello,I believe I read somewhere that you could get Interlux Topside paint in a color called "Whaler Blue". I am restoring a 1968 13' Whaler and was hoping to get the same color as the original. Thank you.Mark
Mark
Not in Brightside, we have it in Totalboat Wet Edge Whaler Blue.

What is the normal drying time for Brightside. My brother in law used Brightside white on an old whaler last Friday temp in Boston area was in the high 60's. He said he sanded the primer ( Primecoat and used 333) He said it is still not hard to the touch semi gummy today it is in the mid 80's and boat has been in the sun since Saturday

If it was applied in a thick coat, it skins over on top and will take a long time to fully cure.

How much product will I need to apply 2 to 3 coats of Interlux Brightside Polyuerethane on a small 12' fiberglass row boat?
Joey
Figure a quart will do about 100 sq ft. Calculate the sq ft being painted multiply by 3 and divide by 100. That is the number of quarts needed.

I'm painting the deck and sides of an old Alcort Sunfish. Should I use a nonskid paint or the Brightside Polyurethane? What do I clean my brushes with? Thinner?
Jim Keys
You could use the Brightside on the sides and the non skid paint on the deck. Clean with mineral spirits.

Number of quartz needed for 30 ft. Boat
Little fat guy
Calculate the square footage of the area you are painting. A quart will cover about 100 sq.ft. per coat.

does this paint require a primer over unpainted fiberglass on a newly built kayak.If so, do you have a paint that does not require a primer.
Ed
If you are painting fiberglass with either polyester or epoxy resin, you will need to prime first before painting.

Can this paint be used for the bottom of a concrete reflection pool? It is a shallow pool in a garden. We have been using boat paint for this purpose for many years and I wonder if there is any other paint more suitable?
Anne Cabot
I love this product, and have used it on my wooden boat as well as carbon/ fiberglass rowing shells. For concrete I always use a latex product, but if the surface is truly dry go for it.
STEVEN MCELHENY
I used Interlude Brightside Polyurethane over fiberglass and epoxy on the bottom of a kayak. I used a two part epoxy primer and then Brightside as the finish coat. I think the Brightside has provided a hard glossy finish that has stood up as good or better than any marine paint used previously. I have no experience using it on concrete, but would think it would work well as long as the concrete is sealed with a good two part epoxy primer.
JIM HARRIS
Thank you for this information. Can I find a two part epoxy paint at Jamestown Distributers?
Anne Cabot
I don't think this would be a good application for this paint, it is not designed for underwater use. A two part epoxy paint might be more suitable.

What is recommended cleanup solvent?
Undisclosed
I can't remember the recommended thinner for this product. Might have been Xylene. Should be an easy google.
Ian Savage
Over several years of restorations and new builds, were have tried several different coatings, we prefer the end results we have gotten with Brightside paints and additives (303). Our shop generally uses the roll and tip method.The Interlux one part Poly line offers great results and makes it a good choice for DIY's.We use foam rollers to apply the coatings, so regular Paint thinner is our primary solvent for clean up.

I have been using the Interlux brighside polyurethane paint for over twenty years and so I can't compare it to other urethane paints either one part or two part, but this is what I like about it: it has great flow out and produces a nice, very hard, high gloss finish whether you use a brush, sprayer or roll and tip method. It needs to be thinned somewhat right out of the can which I also like because it extends the amount of paint you're buying. The thinner I use is "brush ease 333". The finish stays hard and glossy for years, scuffs nicely for additional coats and is compatible with a flattening agent if you prefer a semi gloss or matte finish. All around great paint.

Great White!

This color is deceptive while it's in the can, but, when applied it turns a vivid bright white. I used it for my boot stripe and it set of the other colors great!Excellent consistency, easy to use.

Excellent-highly recommended

Work surfaces in long slow strokes first perpendicular to finish stroke then "tip out" with light even strokes with the grain

Great product, turned out like a mirror! I still cannot believe this finish was rolled and tipped, it looks sprayed! I used foam 4" hotdog rollers and tipped with a good quality bristle brush, working in small sections and keeping a wet edge. Sanding between coats with very fine Scotch Brite, looks amazing. Note: this paint is not recommended for below the waterline however several other users have had great results doing so, for a trailered boat that wont spend more than 24 hours afloat it can be used with great success.

Good product but use a good air mask

I am a beginner boat builder. My results have been good though. I should have used the thinner on days when the paint seemed to thicken quickly. one quart covers a lot of boat, but I needed four coats over the Interlux primer to get even color saturation. WARNING - always use a quality air mask. I did not initially and it cost me an entire summer of headaches and sinus problems. i recently did some touch up work without a mask and bam - I again have sinus problems and some dizziness, just as the company warns. This is a great product but take its risks seriously, the company does more than enough to warn numbskulls like me.
