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.

Looking to use this with the non-skid additive for the deck of my 1982 Morgan 383. The deck has a texture to it. Do I need to sand this smooth first? Any prep suggestions appriciated!
Greg
If the deck is a gelcoat nonskid pattern it should be sanded down. You run the risk of paint pooling in the pattern and not properly curing, leading to adhesion problems. If the texure is from a previous nonskid paint, you should be able to sand it with 220 grit and apply brightside.
Paul
Do I need a primer if applied over Interprotect 2000e? If so, what do you recommend?
Bruce
No primer is required to overcoat Interprotect 2000e. Just sand down to 220 grit and apply.
Paul
What primer is compatible with the Polyurethane paint?
Gwen
it depends on what you are painting. Here is a link to the tech data sheet which lists recommended primers and application instructions for various substrates: https://doc.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/Interlux/interlux_brightside_tds.pdf
Paul
What type of Clear coat can I spray over this product. Already painted the boat with it.
I'd like a color similar to the teak on my Mako. Sundown Buff looks a little too light. Can another color be mixed in to provide a deeper brown? I will be rolling this on a specific area over a topcoat of Brightside Off-White.
Dave
You may be able to mix with another color of Brightside to achieve the color you want. There is no formula. It will require some experimenting to get it right.
Paul
Can Materhorn White be purchased in a gallon can like regular white?
George
Sorry it's only available in quarts.
Richard
When rolling and tipping by yourself, how do you keep the brush from getting thick with paint between tipping?
Mike
Hi Mike,Interlux has some great instructions on their website. You need a highquality brush (see what Interlux recommends - it's been a while). When youbrush, you're using just a light touch. I did an old trawler and everyonethought it was spray painted. See 2 attached pics.
dayodan
You should be just barely skimming the paint and hardly getting any paint on with each stroke. Just enough pressure to knock down the bubbles. Depending on the size of the job (e.g., a kayak), I often have several brushes ready so if one does finally get to much paint on it, I simply set it aside (in a jar filled with #216 or other appropriate solvent) and use the other clean brush to finish the job.

The color is stunning.

Restored a 1975 Guppy 13. This paint, when layered thinly & wet-sanded with 300 between coats is phenomenal. Hard enough to withstand light taps & flexible enough to move with the glass in the water.

Used on wooden motorboat and fiberglass sailboat

Brightside paint is widely recommended among boat builders and restorers. The video showing its application on Jamestown's web site is very helpful. I have used it both on a wooden Glen-L Tuffy 14' runabout I built, as well as on the restoration of a 60s fiberglass Sunfish sailboat. It is important to allow the paint to hard cure for several days before use in the water. A week of dry, warm storage will do this. Be very cautious with the fumes - I first applied this in a paint booth with a good mask, but still suffered from the fumes for months afterwards, mainly through constant sinus problems. I should have ventilated the booth better, but eventually discovered the rolling and tipping method which worked better than spraying anyway. But this too must be ventilated. I set up a box fan that blows across the work, which eliminates most fumes and keeps the bugs away too. Temperature and humidity play a role in quality and drying time, too. Best is to do the work in a shaded area like an open garage or workshop, out of the sun and away from dust and bugs. I generally use two coats of primer before Brightsides. I have used both Interlux primer as well as oil-based Killz from the local hardware store. The Interlux primer covers somewhat better, but both yielded similar final results. As with all such jobs, it is all in the prep work, ie sanding. The primer should be sanded smooth to avoid orange peel in the final coats. I blow off the dust with my shop vac, then do a quick swipe with denatured alcohol. Paint soon after priming as the primer is like a sponge and absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. I live in North Carolina on a lake so the humidity is an issue. Wet sand 600 grit between final coats to get a mirror finish.

Great paint for furniture and exterior door finish
5
Purchased this product several years ago to paint a couple of wood Adirondack chairs. The finish turned out so great, we considered it again for a front door refinishing project. Stripped the original 110 year old finish off the door down to bare wood. Used two coats of the recommended Interlux Pre-Kote Primer for One-Part Finishes. Sanded with 120G paper in between coats. The finish is amazing and durable. We also have a pretty extreme western sun exposure and the paint holds up well. We have one coat of the Interlux Brightside Polyurethane on the door so far and will probably add two more coats to finish it off. Very happy with the product
