I have no idea, never used either one, but someone should be along pretty quickly that knows.

Re: marine rustoleum

depends on what boat. if a $200 aluminum hull fishing boat, i would use regular. if a higher price ski boat you want to look good longer, the marine.

i have only used regular so far.

Re: marine rustoleum

I bought both and played with them a bit (in gloss black). The marine topcoat version had better gloss and was on par with interlux bright sides in the same color (in terms of gloss). I think that after a month both the rustoleums were at least as hard as the brightsides. Both are alkyd resin based chemistry as are interlux brightsides and bilgekote.

Re: marine rustoleum

Rustoleum should have their own store but the don't. It is hard to find out about their products, looking at their website.
Good product , horrible marketing .

Re: marine rustoleum

I can't say for sure that the marine rustoleum is any better than regular. For all I know its just a differant label. I just paid about $13 at Menards for a quart of marine rustoleum. The regular is what...$9 ? Regardless of whether the boat is worth $200 or $2000, your painstaking efforts in painting and prepping is worth the extra few bucks, if only for the piece of mind knowing that you used the right product.

Re: marine rustoleum

I am using the Rusto Marine Topside as well -Navy Blue- should I apply a Rusto Krystal Clear Coat after it just to protect it more? maybe retain the glossyness more?

Thoughts?

Thank You

Jim
