I just bought everything today in Canada.

Interlux Brightside just kills the budget term.

My total rings in @ 120 with 2 quarts of Brightside plus all the supplies like tape, sandpaper, rollers, etc.

2 Quarts of Brightside by itself was $91 total. Thats messed up, but hopefully it will be worth it.



Ouch... they gouged yah... I paid $ 33 CDN per quart in Ottawa... Whoever gouged you for $ 45 a quart does not deserve any future business from you. In fact, for $45 bucks a quart the place here in Ottawa would have shipped it to your doorstep using Canada Post...

Here is the URL for "The Chandlery' marine supplier in Ottawa. They are suppose to have the largest selection of any marine shop in Canada ( which is hilarious when you normally would think that there would be some shop on the East or West Coast that could hold that title.

and here is the direct link to the Brightside polyurathane page...

http://www.thechandleryonline.com//product.asp?dept%5Fid=2706&pf%5Fid=BRIGHTSIDE

At the moment they are listing it at

CDN Price: $34.55
US Price: $31.99

And if you catch them at certain times the price is even lower... ( sales - or during the non-boating season ).

But no matter what the price.... just think of it this way.... the Rustoleum/Tremclad paint job is equivalent to the paint used by MAACO for their cheapest paint job. The Brightside paint is a polyurathane and that is what MAACO uses for their most expensive paint jobs that they offer.

So you are paying a little extra for your paint but that pro paint shop would have charged an appreciably higher price for that paint job compared to their budget enamel paint job.
