As one of the largest manufacturers of marine paints and primers, Interlux is a name you can trust for high-quality products that provide long-lasting protection for your boat finishes. The innovative technology has been leading the way for over a century in boat primers and paints, including the Interlux Pre-Kote boat primer. Interlux’s commitment to research and development has helped to create a high-performance boat primer that has stood the test of time.

Pre-Kote is an Interlux primer used to help protect boat surfaces above the waterline. Before applying Interlux Pre-Kote Brightside you should prepare your surfaces. Interlux primer is safe to use on fiberglass, wood, and previously painted surfaces.

The application should be done with a brush, airless sprayer, or roller. Interlux primer is a high solid and heavy application that can cause solvent entrapment. It is recommended to apply 1-2 coats, depending on desired thickness. Make sure to correct surface imperfections before application. Sanding between each application is recommended for optimal application. Interlux Pre-Kote Brightside is available in quarts and gallons. Each gallon covers 450 sq/ft.
