Bottom painting ?

bigdog · 12-30-2015, 10:18 AM

Current boat was bottom painted by prior owner, when I purchased 3 years ago. Blue bottom ! FYI... Boat came from ocean.

Apparently, the paint was improperly applied by previous owner, because it has been chalking since I took ownership. What I mean by 'chalking' is that the paint surface will rub off when touched. Has anyone heard of this happening before?

In the Spring, I want to completely remove this old paint. Is there an easier way to remove, other than 'sanding' to remove?

I thought there was a chemical liquid product, which could be painted on, then hosed off?

Thanks for your feedback !
