I have painted many bottoms, it is not brain surgery. One trick I learned
years ago is to put two coats on the bottom, the first coat one color, then
the other coat a different color. That way when the diver who cleans the
bottom of the boat says he is seeing the first color through the outside
color, it is time to pull the boat and paint it again, usually 4-5 years in
So. Ca. Any other questions, go ahead and email me direct. Also, red is
better than any other color, it has more of the good stuff in it.
