Interlux VC Performance??
 
Anyone used this stuff yet??
I just got in enough to do my transom, and if I like it, I intend to do the hull.
Still want to get the sides shot.
Am I the Guinea pig on this stuff??
I spoke with the Interlux guy at the Miami show, and it sounded like this stuff would be the ticket for me.

I've used the vc-17 and the vc-18. they are super thin, don't notice the boat slow down, good antifouling, and you can remove the paint later by wiping it with solvent and a rag. then your back to as if you never painted it with little effort.

I did a search on it and it seems like good stuff, i know everybody on here is going to say dont use bottom paint....Like you said try it on the transome and see how it flows out.....

Jimg how was the complection with brushing or rolling, it says ya can spray it...

you can spray it with an airless sprayer. dries so fast it would be dry before it hit the boat if used with air sprayer.
rolling works, you have to use a shallow foam roller rated for the high solvent content. very thin paint, which is why you want it.
spraying gives the best results. I've used a wagner power painter with good results. the copper in the paint will eventually destroy the aluminum painter.
