I am going to be doing some topside painting using a 2 part polyurethane paint. I have painted with International "Perfection" and "Reaction" paints before with mixed results. (Roll & tip)
The Reaction was not high gloss and the Perfection surface was glossy in parts and not others. (Yes I did a lot of prep.) I read later in mags about "Linear" polyurethanes with special leveling agents that are supposed to produce excellent results. I am about to do it again and hopefully use my past experience to get a better result this time.
Now this brings me to the crunch questions, which I hope someone knows the answers too.
Firstly, what Linear polyurethane is the absolute best for super high gloss, long lasting using roll and tip?
People rave about Awlgrip, but which one and what application technique (brush+roller or spray)?
Are these International, Interlux or Awlgrip paints "Linear" polyurethanes?
What is the International "Interspray 900" which says it can be used with a roller & brush and is "premium" and "produces an extremely high gloss" where as "Perfection" is advertised as producing simply a "high gloss" and no mention of "premium", though there is on the Awlgrip website?
Are the International "Perfection" & "Reaction" paints the same as the Awlgrip products (Awlgrip HS, Awlcraft 2000)? (Interlux, International & Awlgrip are all owned by the same company)
What about other paint brands like, DuPont Imron, Sterling and Pettit Challenger System.
What 2 part polyurethane do people use for the deck?
