[C320-list] Evercoat One Step Finish Gel-Kote vs. Interlux Brightside

[Jack Brennan]

I painted my old Bristol, a 1974, and would never use one-part paint again on a boat.

UV causes it to fade in a couple of years, and it stains much easier than gelcoat. After enough time, it will start to chip. Thus begins a never-ending cycle of painting and repainting. 

With high-quality gelcoat like our Catalinas, it is always worthwhile to take the time to patch the gelcoat properly and wax it a couple of times a year. Spectrum has also done the job for me.

I have a 1996 and fixed all my Nick's with Spectrum color matching gelcoat
past. The color was really close and wasn't hard to work with.
