Hi all,
I'm planning paint my boat's deck in stages, roll and tip. I've chosen Kiwi
Grip for the non-skid. Ten years ago I tried a two part primer and Interlux
Perfection and painted the transom only. I picked a day with too much heat and
the sun hit the transom each afternoon so I had to grind/sand that off and
recoat. I ended up using Brightside and it looked very professional but is now
showing some problems after ten years.
I just tried Pettit EZpoxy for the first time on a helm seat. Same price as
Interlux but flows out better and easier. The paint went on easy and looks
great. The primer, EZ Prime, stinks more than the finish coat, EZ Poxy but the
smell goes away once the paint dries. Nothing stinks as much as Bilge Coat
which I find smells for days so I'd like to avoid Brightside which is a close
cousin.
Two part paints are supposed to last longer but they cost more and I want to
avoid all the carcinigens and eternal mixing of two part primer, two part
finish coat, two part flattener.
Any opinions out there, Pettit vs Interlux or some other system?
