some of the guys around here are repainting the bottoms with teflon/epoxy bottom paint(no antifoulant) for use on sail boats, they don't list white, but the tint-able base is a flat white paint. On an older boat with bottom paint scars, it hides a bunch http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...ct.do?pid=2330

Well I did not finish it yesterday. Thunderstorms ran me back inside. The rest of the country is going thru a drought and Florida the Sunshine State has gotten rain every day for the past month? I am finding a little bit of gelcoat damage that was covered by the bottom paint based on the fiberglass being blue inside the damaged spots. Its mostly on the strakes. I have found blue green yellow and red bottom paint in different areas. I will get what I can with the stripper and pressure washer. But i think i will have to sand the entire keel to get rid of the bottom paint there. I am starting back at welding class today so I will have the weekend days only to work on it now as i deliver pizza at night.

Ok I worked the entire weekend and yesterday at a remodel, so my boss gave me the day off. without pay. So in honor of Labor Day i got back on stripping the bottom paint. After almost getting my truck stuck trying to pull the boat around, I got the boat half way off the trailer on a block in the back.
Before:  After:  Other side:  I still have the keel to do, It has been the hardest part, I have a half gallon of Aircraft Stripper left. Once I "break" the top layer the rest peels right off on the next layer. Paint chips were flying everywhere once I got the pressure washer running wide open.

I am dead set on finishing all the bottom paint removal today. Even though we have a 60% chance of rain and have already seen 100% of that.
 I put the bimini top on the boat and stretched a big tarp over it and tied it off so i can work in the dry. My goal is to run a 3m paint stripper wheel over the keel area and then apply stripper and hopefully it will penetrate.

Now I go through all that work and the clouds go away.
Does anybody have good help like this?   Its bad enough giving a V20 multiple baths but now I have to give my dog a bath.  Waiting on everything to dry out and I need to clean the carb on the pressure washer again.
