Protect your boat bottom from fouling, barnacles, and blisters. Having a new bottom paint will prevent the growth of organisms that attach and stick to the hull and eventually do costly damage . Other than the looks, they can impede your vessel’s speed, performance and durability, especially if the boat has been kept in water for an extended period of time.
Our Process:
Based on whether your boat is a brand new or already in use, the process will differ, so let’s focus on three possible scenarios and sum up the process as following:
Brand new boats without bottom paint:
- Fresh from factory boats have a mold release wax that will need to be removed with a solvent first
- Next step is to figure out where the boats waterline is and tape off
- Then we sand the entire bottom for proper paint adhesion
- Clean thoroughly and prepare for paint
- Apply a barrier coating before bottom paint
- Then we apply 2 coats of anti fouling bottom paint while barrier coat is still tacky
- Pull the tape and the boat is ready to go
Annual recoat for boats that already have bottom paint:
- Pressure wash off any barnacles / growth off the entire bottom
- Knock off any loose paint, and sand entire bottom flat and smooth
- Prime certain areas if needed, and apply two coats of desired bottom paint
Complete redo for boats that have the paint but it has gotten into bad shape:
- Sodablast off all old the paint down to bare fiberglass and inspect fiberglass for damage (fix any damage as needed)
This process follows the same procedure as bottom painting a bare hull.
