Looking at your big bottom job, I have heard of titanium/boron
coatings as barrier coats for metal corrosion inhibition

Yes I know that. You said the paint had some : "Now we paint on a
two-part barrier coat with powdered titanium and boron platelets in it."
which raised my interest.

But it was Interlux 2000E -we have that here. I note that you do need ~
4-6 coats coats to get the claimed barrier properties though. That's a
lot of paint. All I can say is that Ella after 17 years in the water
Ella has probably reached the point where if blisters were to appear
they would have appeared. So far all is well...
