Interlux Brightside Paint?

Anybody here have any experience with this stuff?

I know some of the roll-on car painters on the net seem to like it better than Rustoleum and it sounds like it would be tough stuff. Plus, their "Grand Banks Beige" looks like a pretty decent match to Toyota "dune beige"... at least close enough for me.

I've used it on my wood kayaks, but never on a vehicle. Interlux's 2 part epoxy is much tougher than the single part epoxy. I couldn't scratch the 2 part stuff, but the single part is very soft. If you are going to spray it, watch out. It's very toxic (2 part).

Single part is not very scratch resistant. Both smooth out really nice without being thinned down. Very glossy finish even with a roller and foam brush. Its about the same $$ as automotive paint though.

This is a polyurethane paint - not an epoxy paint. yachtpaint.com - the website of International and Interlux paints

I had read somewhere that it was tougher than something like Rustoleum, and easier to use for the "$50 paint job" type method.

Are we talking about the same stuff?
