Epifanes one-pot paints

[MikeBz]

How would you choose between Epifanes one-pot paint products, namely Yacht Enamel, Monourethane, and Nautiforte. The blurb on their website makes them all sound excellent (as it would) but doesn't give any clues as to when or why you would choose one of them over the other two. My application is topsides of an iroko planked hull (hull is very stable, fully splined).

If their varnish is anything to go by I wouldn't touch their paint . Within one season their varnish turns opaque and turns yellow/orange.

Their Monourethane always did reasonably well when trialled against other Marine urethane coatings, held its gloss and was a hard coating when fully cured.
Re varnish problem ,sounds more like application problems than product

I've found their varnish the business. With proper preparation it survives tropical sun and has a lovely lusture.

As to what Epifanes product you need, why not email their technical department?

I use Epifanes for both varnish and paint (yacht enamel) and the are both superb. I have a larch planked hull and have no issues.
