interlux toplac

[LeeG]

anyone else try it?

I used the Donegal Green, didn't like the color, paint seemed too thin out of the can to roll and tip. I like the Brigtside better. I like Kirby's better yet.

thx,,the fellow at the store said the colors are deeper, that it's glossier, he said when it's on wet it doesn't look right then it shines as it dries.

It's OK but a little hard. I paint every year so prefer 'ordinary' enamel on Patience.

Interlux paints:
Toplac ~$30/Qt
Brightside ~$20/Qt
Premium enamel ~$10/Qt, but largely discontinued. Go figure.

I painted my loonium boat, 16' Starcraft, with the premium enamel over 10 years ago and it still looks pretty good. I used CC Blue for the hull and Blue-Gray for the trim and deck. I can't believe the Toplac would last 3x better. I'll probably repaint with RustOleum when the time comes.
