Nismo280zEd Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well it's official, I've kept it kinda underwraps but it's now time to let out my project details. I'm completed the test patches using boat paint on my car. And it's absolutely remarkable. I'm going to go ahead and paint the whole car, I'll load up some teaser pictures in a couple dayz. It's about 20 a quart 70 a gallon. And the primer is a little less. Plus no clear required. Similar to the other paint thread started on here except it's a one part polyurethane. Dries really hard but still flexable. You can even go two part if you desire. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Nice. Did you spray? Did you thin it, if so with what? I am intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Sprayed it, and thinned it very very little maybe like 10% with some lacquer thinner. I used Interlux Brightside. It's a super high gloss, i'm really surprised. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Have you checked to see if it will float now? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You think it would adhere to ZR well? and have you tried experimenting with a coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Actually my whole car is in ZR right now, so I'm gonna do a test patch on the hood to see how it adhears to ZR, I'm sure it will be fine. Not sure if it floats, haven't made it to the lake yet. I'll keep you posted lol. -Ed It does adhear very well to tie coat primer and por-15 and reg paint with the proper interlux primer, I have tried that already.

Nismo280zEd Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 It is not necessary to clear the paint, It's a one part polurethane, like a built in single stage car paint. Except much shinier. I took some pics tonight, but left my camera at the house, I'll try to post tomorrow after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took some pics tonight, but left my camera at the house, I'll try to post tomorrow after work. Yeah I know its not necessary to paint clear. I was just asking because I might want to try this but I want something with a tinted clear (toner and clear). just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I haven't tried clearing it, however when I spray my g/f's front clip, I'll spray a little clear on it and see what happens, my guess is it will crinkle but ya never know. Further more, ZR responds very well to PPG DBC/DBU clear. Sticks quite nicely. -Ed Yeah I know its not necessary to paint clear.

MIBPreacher Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Question #1: What color did you choose? I am looking at the site http://www.boatersland.com/intbrightsideg.html and they only show... INTY4259G - Blue-Glo White INTY4359G - White For that model of boat paint. I wouldnt mind trying if it came in black. I would love to try that this summer in my back yard. Question #2: Did you bring your camera back yet so we can see some pics! Here was the additional info I found on the paint. Brightside Polyurethane is the most technically advanced one-part polyurethane available. Brightside now contains Teflon« for better resistance to staining, abrasion and easy cleaning. 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. Application Details - Brightside Polyurethane Area Above the waterline Finish/Sheen High Gloss Number of Coats: 2 minimum Method of application: Brush / Roller / Airless Spray / Conventional Spray Pack sizes: 1 US Gallon Availability: Usually ships the next business day.

MIBPreacher Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Found the color chart and there is a lot to choose from. http://www.yachtpaint.com/usa//product_guide/finishes_undercoats/US_brightside.asp?ComponentID=6663&SourcePageID=6660#1 They had quarts for 27.00, so it appears a gallon is the better buy.

U.P. Z Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I've got a trailer I need to paint. I might give it a try for that and see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes, I did get my camera back and took some more pics today as i got the block and head in today. I can't really host them though right now, if somebody has some space I'll be glad to email whatever size you want. The color is a little off in the pics, but i think it shows the gloss fairly well. Keep in mind i didn't bother making it extremly smooth in there. Also, if you try to buy in gallons from boaterisland there are only white. The quarts have allt he colors. I used laguna blue I think. I'll check the can Friday, been sick lately haven't been able to do a whole lot. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
