Manufacturer

Interlux Paint

<p>Since 1881, Interlux has established itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-performance marine coatings and yacht finishes. As a division of AkzoNobel, Interlux combines over a century of expertise with cutting-edge coating technology to deliver protection and beauty for vessels of all sizes, from recreational powerboats to racing sailboats and luxury yachts.</p><h3>Marine Coating Excellence</h3><p>Interlux's reputation is built on formulating specialized solutions that address the unique challenges of the marine environment. Unlike automotive or general-purpose coatings, marine paints must withstand constant exposure to UV radiation, saltwater, temperature fluctuations, and the physical stresses of wave action. Every product in the Interlux lineup is engineered specifically for marine applications, ensuring vessels receive the protection they need while maintaining a brilliant, professional appearance.</p><h3>Comprehensive Protection Systems</h3><p>The Interlux product range covers every aspect of vessel maintenance and refinishing. Their <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-wood-finishes-varnish-201205">wood finishes and varnishes</a> preserve and enhance natural teak and other marine woods with UV-resistant formulations that withstand harsh sun exposure. For hull and deck applications, <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-interlux-topside-paint-200585">topside paints</a> deliver durable, high-gloss finishes that resist chalking and fading season after season.</p><p>Below the waterline, protection becomes even more critical. <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-interlux-antifouling-paint-200583">Antifouling paints</a> prevent the growth of barnacles, weeds, and slime that can degrade hull performance and increase fuel consumption. For competitive sailors, <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-interlux-racing-bottom-paint-200584">racing bottom paints</a> are formulated to maintain smooth, low-friction surfaces that maximize speed through the water.</p><p>Proper surface preparation is essential for long-lasting results, which is why Interlux offers a complete line of <a href="/7399-interlux-paint-primers-sealers-200811">primers and sealers</a> that ensure optimal adhesion, prevent corrosion, and create the ideal foundation for topcoats. These barrier coats and anti-corrosive primers are critical for protecting fiberglass, wood, and metal surfaces from water absorption and galvanic corrosion.</p><h3>Innovation and Performance</h3><p>Interlux continues to advance marine coating technology with innovative formulations. Products like Brightside polyurethane enamel and two-part Perfection paint deliver durable, high-gloss finishes, while ablative bottom paints use self-polishing technology that continuously renews the active surface. Whether refinishing a classic wooden yacht or maintaining a modern performance cruiser, Interlux provides the coating solutions that professional boatyards and knowledgeable boat owners trust for exceptional results.</p>

Product Details

Interlux VC Offshore is a multi-season hard vinyl antifouling paint designed specifically for high-performance racing sailboats, powerboats, and offshore fishing vessels. This professional-grade bottom paint is formulated with cuprous oxide biocide and PTFE (Teflon) additives to create an ultra-smooth, low-friction surface that delivers maximum speed and fuel efficiency.

Key Features:

  • Slippery PTFE additive creates a smooth, non-fouling, low-friction surface that can be burnished for even greater performance
  • 40% solids by volume with substantial cuprous oxide biocide concentration for superior antifouling protection
  • Can be applied to fiberglass, lead, steel, wood, and carbon fiber substrates
  • Suitable for use in fresh, brackish, and salt water environments
  • Teflon formula makes wet sanding and burnishing easier to achieve a shiny, super smooth racing finish
  • Practical coverage: 270 sq ft per gallon by brush or roller, 180 sq ft per gallon by spray

Application Details:

  • Apply 3 coats minimum; use 4 coats if burnishing or applying to bare wood
  • Apply by brush, roller, or conventional pressure pot spray using Special Thinner 216
  • After final coat cures, wet sand with 400-grit paper and burnish with fine bronze wool for maximum performance
  • Contains aggressive solvents typical of vinyl paints; should not be applied over non-vinyl paints

Important Notes:

  • Contains copper; do not use on aluminum hulls or outdrives
  • Has a limited out-of-water time of 30 days as the surface reacts with air to seal in biocides
  • Not sold for use in California
  • Available in Black (V118), Blue (V116), and Red (V117)

This premium racing bottom paint is especially popular with high-speed offshore sportfishing boats and fiberglass charter boats that run long distances and need increased boat speed and fuel economy.

Just purchased a B&W 5th wheel companion hitch to tow my new camper. Got an awesome price on it and shipping was quick. I would make a purchase again from them and would recommend Autoplicity to a friend. AAAAA++++++++++++ <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Dennis

Quick and easy!

Easy shopping experience

website is good, easy to use

Best price for an expired item around, though more options in shipping would be appreciated. Ordered saturday night and item shipped tuesday morning, saved about 30% off of the originally planned purchase price. Definitely will use them again in the future.

easy and fast ordering

The part went thru the packaging and the paint was scraped off but I'll touch it up myself, I was surprised at how fast it arrived, I'll definitely be a return customer.

great parts, even better prices..all around good service
