Product Description:
Epifanes Mono-Urethane Yacht Paint, Stars and Stripes Blue, Custom Tint, 750ml (mix to H5161 Stars and Stripes Blue) is a hard, one‑component, high‑gloss finishing yacht paint offering superior coverage, long‑lasting weather durability, and exceptional gloss retention. This advanced urethane‑alkyd formulation provides the application ease of a traditional enamel with the hard durability of a urethane resin‑based coating.
Mono‑urethane is suitable for fiberglass (FRP), steel, wood, and aluminum for interior and exterior use above the waterline. It may be applied directly to well‑degreased and sanded fiberglass without primer, over existing one‑component systems, and over thoroughly sanded two‑component polyurethane. It is not compatible with epoxy.
Whether brushed, rolled, or sprayed, Epifanes Mono‑urethane levels exceptionally well — allowing you to achieve a true spray‑quality mirror finish without using a sprayer.
Available in 24 rich high‑gloss stock colors. Many custom competitor colors and RAL Classic colors available upon request. All colors are offered in 750ml sizes. View the full stock color collection here.
