I will be painting the bottom of my 64 x55 in the next few weeks and was wondering what paint would be the best for finishing off the bottom?
Thanks in advance for any advice. ------------- just do it! |

Where are the pictures???? They all came from factory with copper bronze bottoms so of course you do want to keep it original, correct???!!! 
Since the EPA forced the removal of the tin from the old copper bronze formula, (as well as all bottom paints) the only copper bronze that looks like the original is http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2326&familyName=Pettit+Old+Salem+Copper+Bronze+Hard+Racing+Enamel - Pettit 1959 . The bad thing about the 1959 is it really doesn't have that much anti-fouling characteristics. It's fine if you are "day sailing". ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
