Found these in my garage yesterday, I'd forgotten I had them. I bought them a while back before I realized that I needed to put a different type of bottom paint on SL. There are two VC-17m reds (blue caps), and one VC-17m Extra "original" (red cap, don't ask, I don't remember why), which I think is black-ish blue?

The original has "Biolux", so use one of the reds as your warning coat, and the blue as your top coat. Keep the second red for your next go 'round. All three cans have got their copper powder bags and instructions intact in the lids.

We were able to relatively easily do one coat of SL with a quart, admittedly we were a bit frugal on the keel when we started, but we were able to get two coats on it with two quarts once we learned the process. It dries so fast, you can get both coats on in a couple of hours max. If you sail on fresh water, or day sail this is a good way to go. If you're on salt or brackish water, probably not (trust me).

Prefer to sell them as a unit, but will break up. $105 shipped to the US in a USPS flat rate box.

You'll have to lie to USPS about what's in the box. They won't take hazmats.

Why do the reds have blue caps? Is this some kind of perverse Interlux thing?LOL

I don't remember how they ended up that way, I'm thinking it was a horrible painting accident. I know Rita & I put a couple of coats of VC-17 on the boat a couple of times, but these have been sitting on my paint shelf for at least two years. Maybe we were looking at them and the other caps got lost, dunno. Don't remember.
