Sourcing Brown Bottom Paint

Post by Terry »

Anyone aware of where to obtain a gallon of Brown Interlux CSC Extra with Biolux in the northern Cheasapeake area? Have tried West, US/Boat, Fawcett. They only stock the red, black, blue, etc., otherwise it is a special order with fees to break a case and hazmat shipping charges, etc.
I thought it odd that it is manufactured, but you can't buy it, as pricey as it is. Apparantly, the reason it is not carried buy the retail stores is due to no demand for the color. Doesn't everyone sail a Cape Dory?
Would also appreciate any recommendations as to boot stripe paint, ie Petit's Brightwork Brown vs Interlux Chocolate Brown.
Thanks for your attention.

West Marine ordered a gallon of Mircon CSC Brown for me at no extra charges. "could" take up to 2 weeks to get the paint depending on what day of the week you place your order. (something about making this weeks truck run,if not gets put on next weeks truck run)

Have never seen the "Biolux" version in Brown, only the Micron CSC Extra. Works great, but expensive. Hamilton Marine in Maine has it, bought some there yesterday. However, good idea to call them first, because they don't carry a lot of brown.
