Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
I am restoring a surfski (sit on top narrow kayak). I decided to try Interlux Brightside one part paint.
I did start with a brush with straight paint and it was tough to keep it flows together. Then I tried roll and tip with 5% diluted
with Interlux 333, still tricky. Finally I have found right combo
with brush only and 10% diluted with Interlux 333. It came absolutely awesome, like a glass. Much easier to work with
since surfski is narrow, long (21') and round.
Also when applying and need to go back to fix a spot make sure wet the brush with paint.

Do the math to figure your surface area and be sure to account for a second coat. I ran out and had to mail order another quart.

Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
I've followed the directions eight times and finally gave up using Interlux Brightside paint. It runs, dries too fast and thinning is even a bigger mess, no matter what percentage is used. This paint will probably spray okay but if you're using a brush, forget about it, it will not come out smooth, ever. Most difficult paint I've ever worked with in 45 years.

Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
i am trying this for the first time on my johnson out board cowl to see how it holds up . in the past i have used the spray cans of out board paint and they would not hold up that good at all. i shot therr coats of paint on the cowl with a hvlp spray gun . this paint flows out really great at about 55psi . i put one light coat for the first coat and the second coat was a tack coat followed by the third coat which was a nice wet coat. so far the paint is drying with a very glossy look and i am very pleased with this paint.

Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
Used brightside to repaint an old jet ski that i picked up. I din't even see the need to polish out the final coat. Proving to be pretty durable and the best thing is blending in repairs is simple. Used black-handlepole, red-topside, white - hull. All pretty foolproof with good prep work.

Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
I've painted two sailboats, a 30' Luger homebuilt kit and a 27' Catalina with Brightside, and both came out great. The guy I sold the Luger to wanted a different color and told me he had an awful time getting my beautiful Sea Green off!
I painted the Catalina dark blue and it came out beautifully with the roll and tip method. Based on two seasons, I'm very happy with the durability and it's had a dinghy banging up against it.
You have to follow the instructions carefully, and work fast if there's any sun out at all; it dries fast.

Comments about Brightside One Part Polyurethane Paint with Teflon:
I recommend practicing on a couple less visible areas. Follow the temp recommendations and if possible paint in the shade. I got a beautiful finish with the "roll and tip" method. I am very pleased with the results.
