I use a lot of interlux products recently (local marine shop is going out of business and everything is half off and they carry a lot of interlux products) and I have had good luck using them. I am not a professional painter at all and have limited experience painting and have good luck with their products. I think the use all of the wording to give you a best case situation mainly so if something goes wrong they will be able to blame it on something you did wrong. As long as the primeKote goes down good I think you will be ok. Stay with all "two part" products and you will be fine. Don't use a non-epoxy primer and think the perfection will do well over it. Chances it will but why use a high quality top coat with crap under it. Once you get a good 3 coats of epoxy primer over all of the existing stuff that is on the boat and it takes well you should end up with a good overall finish once you go over that. I would try to stay to their guide lines close as possible so that it will give you optimal conditions and the best Finnish but don't stress too much that missing a window by an hour will fail you paint job. Also the more previous coats you can get off the better. Start with a new fresh layers of all epoxy/polyurethane paints will be better than covering any original cheaper grade paints previously applied. I have used regular acidtone to thin with to spray the epoxy primers when I ran out of the 2333N correct reducer while spraying and it still done fine. Ihave ran outside of their requirements and timeframes as well due to "life" and the finishes still turn out well. I don't recommend doing that but if it happens you may be ok. The interlux line seems to be more forgiving than others such as algrip. That stuff scares the hell out of me. Not that perfections is good to breath in but they talk like the algrip paints are much more deadly to inhale. If you stick to their requirements the best you can you most likely will get a great finish that will last 10 years maybe.
