Bilge paint - which paint?? So many options...
I know this topic has been exhausted, but I havent seen any real concensus on the issue!
Or maybe there is no difference between paints at all, just personal preference?
Brands I have seen recommended:
-Interluk Bilgekote
-Rustoleum (with hardener added)
-Awlgrip
-Sherwin williams
-Imron
If it comes down to price being the only difference, obviously Rustoleum will come out on on top!
Just wondering if its the best option.
I know its all in the prep....but still.

I used white Bilgekote. Looked perfect bright white when done. Going on 3 yrs now and it's still stain free and wipes up no problem. It has yellowed some though. Didn't know till I did filled in a couple screw holes last yr and touched that up. Should blend in over time though.
A buddy used rustoleum and his is still nice and white. Appears to be holding up as well. Been a good 7 yrs.

Just remember you'll get what you pay for I would strongly recommend one of the bottom 3 you listed. I've done serverel and redone quiet a few because otheres used cheap products and didn't prep things right.

out of all you mentioned and for the price you cant beat the sherwin williams for the money..it smells just like imron and awlgrip but its alot thicker,almost thicker then laytex..one coat of sherwin is like 5 coats of imron..with the hardener its like 115.00 a gallon..you can spill anything on it and it wont budge..

Sw
Sherwin williams paint question:
"mr.fixxall"
i see you posted b65w311 + hardner as the paint to use. When i spoke with my sw rep he said that paint needs an under coat of paint or primer in order to work properly.
He suggested part # b54wz401 which is an industrial high solids enamel. I crossed reference the specs online and it appears this has better resistance to chems, etc. Also is oil based so wont break down as easy in water. We have used similar on our shop equipment and its tough. My cost is $46 per gallon, hardener not required (wont work).
Any thoughts on this?
