Default Re: Bottom Painting Tips

Prep and the Proper paint are the key

We scrape and wire brush the hull, then wash down bottom with on/off-water mixture.

Paint use the best you can, I use Interlux Micron Xtra with VOC, yes it is pricey but we get ZERO GROWTH ON THE BOTTOM.

We touch up the worn down spots with a brush and then paint the whole bottom after the touvh up.

Only growth we get is on the trim tabs and a light slime line at the water line.

Remember when you buy your paint, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
