Any Canadians know where to buy Interlux Brightside paint? Seeing that everyone is having more glossy results using brightside, I thought I would change over to this method and return my tremclad to home depot.

I found some on Ebay, but I don't think they will ship to Canada.

You should be able to find the paint in any boater's supply store. You will need to dig out your phonebook and see if you can locate a marine supply place near you. If you have water and boats within a reasonable distance from your location, then it is almost guaranteed there is a store within range that is selling all the little doodads that boaters need.

If you are totally landlocked and there are no boater supply joints within a reasonable range, then you can check out "The Chandlery" in Ottawa Ontario at :

They even have a 1 800 number

They have been in business for over 25 years and are possibly one of the biggest online, phone and mail order boating suppliers that will ship ANYWHERE. But most importantly they are in Canada and will ship anywhere in Canada

I suspect they also will ship to the United States because their web site quotes prices in both US and Canadian dollars.


But the single most important reason why I am comfortable recommending them is that I have been in their store, seen their staff in action and I was thoroughly impressed by how professionally their operation is run... serving people in the store and in shipping stuff out to people who have placed orders over the phone and via the Internet.

Many places will not or can not ship paint across borders between Canada and the States. This is normally a problem because the 'shipping companies' don't want to transport 'flamable' goods. So if you are in Canada, then it is best to try to order from a company within our borders. But at least these folks at the Chandlery appear to have their act down pat as to doing cross border shipping and interprovincial shipping ( if you are not in Ontario ).

Here is the exact page on their web site where they list their Brightside paints :

And here is the page on their web site where they list the Interlux "Brushing Liquid" product 333 ( which you use as the solvent for thinning the Brightside paint :

But I can't think of too many places in Canada where you won't be able to hunt down a marina or boater supply joint. East Coast, West Coast.. or just about any major population area where boaters will be found you will find some shop selling paint and boating supplies. Yup.. even in the Prairies, I have to assume there are folks with leisure or sporting boats.. and they need the paint, anti-fouling coatings etc.

Hope this info helps
