Re: bottom paint

If you boat stays in the water you need bottom paint. If you are not in for more than a week I would just use the same thing I did on the top.

You want to paint....... the whole boat with top paint ?... what exactly are you trying to do I think is what we are asking.....

No reason to BP the whole boat...but no reason not to paint the whole boat...but what is your question ? .. specifically ..

Re: bottom paint

You can paint it all the same ( topcoat paint ) if and only if its a trailer boat. ( personally I would keep the bottom gel and paint the topsides and the deck..) .

If you needed to paint the bottom then depending on how much you store your boat in the water is going to determine if its going to be a thane..or a Bottom paint product.

Sorry for being so .. erm.. indirect in previous posts :) .

YD..
