Preparation |
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Wash down with a suitable detergent, rinse
with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 280-320 grade (grit)
paper.
In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings. Wash down with
Yacht Line Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry.
PRIMING: All preparation for bare substrates is covered on the
appropriate primer datasheet.
BARE WOOD: Prime with Yacht Primer or UCP.
STEEL: Prime with Yacht Primer or Interprotect.
ALUMINIUM: Prime with Etch Primer followed by either Yacht Primer
or Interprotect.
GRP: Abrade with 180-220 grade paper. Wash down with Yacht Line
Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. No priming
necessary.
AGED/WEATHERED GELCOATS: Due to the potentially porous nature of
aged/weathered gelcoats the risk of solvent/moisture entrapment after
painting is much higher than when gelcoat is new. As a result this
entrapment could lead to blistering of the paint film. To reduce the
risk of paint film blistering it is recommended that 3 coats of
Interprotect are applied to seal the gelcoat. Interprotect must be
overcoated with Perfection Undercoat prior to topcoat application.
ALL SUBSTRATES: Use Pre-Kote undercoat. |
|
|
|
Method |
Sand the undercoat smooth with 320-400 grade (grit) wet or dry paper.
Remove dust with a dust wipe. Apply 2-3 coats of Brightside following
the proper dry times. Brightside may be applied by roller and brush
using the roll and tip method. |

|
Hints |
Mixing Stir well before use.
Thinner YTA085,YTA333 Brush - Thinner No. 333 Spray - Thinner No.
3
Thinning Thin if necessary with Thinner No. 333 (maximum 10% by
volume) to improve brushing characteristics.
Cleaner YTA800,YTA333 Thinner No. 333 or Thinner No. 1
Ventilation and Humidity Control Apply in dry, well ventilated
conditions. It is best to paint on warm, dry mornings. Cold weather
retards the drying, and humidity or lack of air movement can spoil the
gloss.
Airless Spray Pressure: 170 bar/2500 psi. Tip Size: 0.33-0.41
mm/13-16 thou.
Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65
psi (gun pressure); 8-10 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size: 0.89-1.4 mm/35-50
thou. Siphon Cup: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi - gun pressure. Tip
Size: 1.4-1.8mm/50-70 thou.
Other Spray pressures listed are recommendations only. The
applicator may use any settings which yield the best results for the
individual spraying technique and current weather conditions. Brightside
is best applied in thin coats. |

Some Important Points |
Do not apply heavy coats as this will affect dry through. Failure to
follow proper dry times carefully will cause improper drying, wrinkling
and loss of adhesion. If thinning is necessary, do not thin more than
10% by volume. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Product temperature
should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. Ambient temperature
should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Substrate temperature
should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. |

etc. Use over suitably prepared and undercoated surfaces or existing
paint schemes. Not suitable for permanently immersed surfaces. |

Storage |
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided. For the
full shelf life of Brightside to be realised ensure that between use the
container is firmly closed and the temperature is between 5°C/40°F and
35°C/95°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
TRANSPORTATION:
Brightside should be kept in securely closed containers during transport
and storage.
