We tried Interdeck and found it held up only one or two seasons before looking mediocre. Brightsides lasted about a week on a foredeck test patch. The deck gets a lot more abuse, wear & tear than the cabin trunk.

Not only that, but two part stays cleaner and doesn't stain as easily, so you don't have to clean as much and will repaint less often. You'll save work in the long run.
