Was looking at a craigslist ad locally and found this paint and is at a good deal. Would be cool and different but wasn't sure if it was compatible not knowing exactly what bottom paint was used before on the boat.
Does anyone know anything about the application process of this kind of paint. I was reading that it is a may be a hybrid between ablative and hard. I wasn't sure if I could just apply it over my current black ablative paint or if it would need a fresh fiberglass bottom or if it would need a primer or at least sanding?

Sounds like a really bad idea all around.White bottom paint will look like crap fast.The only paint you can put over alabative is alabative if you want decent results.Give it a try and change the boat name to "Dalmation" because that what the bottom will wind up looking like.Charlie
