Well i Got coat number 4 of the topsecret TS-100 on yesterday. It was looking okay....I felt as If i could have done just as good (maybe even better) with rustoleum. This stuff does not self level as well as I would like.

So today I took a trip to West Marine. They did not have any brightside, but they did have a store brand polyurethane topside boat paint. The clerk said it was equivilant to brightside. I figured I'd give it a whirl.

WOW!!!!

There are bubbles to deal with, but they are easy enough to deal with. This stuff flows and covers like a dream...with VERY high gloss!! The topsecret paint was much harder to apply and was prone to runs. I thought it was my technique, but now I know otherwise. I just put 1 coat of the polyurethane on with zero runs and all of the brushmarks leveled out!

I feel like throwing the TS-100 in the garbage!

I learned a lesson.....dont mess with a good thing!
