They have a "clear top surface" after they cure or so it seems. I have done four boats with Interlux, and they are still in excellent condition after 30 years with inside storage under cover. My last was my 28' Cigarette center console, thread under 35' to 28' conversion in the Cig forum. I did the sides in navy blue, and it looks like it was sprayed and compounded. Dark colors will show every defect so prep is 95%! Also winter is not the best time to do this unless you have a consistent 70+ degree work space 24 hours a day. These are top side paints but are fine for a trailered hull. Let me know if I can help further and best of luck. Bob N.
