Hi all,
I have been watching here for a while, but this is my first post.
We (hubby and I) are in the middle of a restoration of a 86 CHB trawler.
My question is about paint. We recently finished painting all the topsides using Brightside white paint - all instructions were followed to the letter and the paint looked amazing. Some items were painted on the boat, some were painted in our shop.
Fast forward to a week of rain in the PNW - now the white paint is COVERED in tiny blisters. ALL surfaces that were touched by rain have been affected. Areas not touched by rain are fine.
We have reached out to Interlux and they have been helpful, but my question is has this happened to anyone else?
Side note: We also used Brightside blue to paint he hull and it has not done this, in fact it looks great (prep was the same in both case)
Pic one is the blistering - pic 2 is the boat
