I asked the seller of my future boat what I thought was a simple question: What kind of paint is on the bottom? Here is his response:
Quote:
It's West Marine " Boatshield."
The product code is painted out but it's copper based.
All the codes are painted out.
Feels like its @ 3/4 gal or so.

I am trying to figure out whether it's ablative or not (I hope not, since nothing ablates onto my hand when I wipe it), and what its compatibility would be for overcoating with some other type of paint. You know, never put hard paint on top of soft paint, what else will adhere to it, and other standard paint stuff.
I've searched West Marine's site, and the rest of the web, and I cannot find any paint product called "BoatShield". Have any of you ever heard of it?
[EDIT: Turns out it was probably a typo from this guy. It must be West Marine's BottomShield. Any comments on its performance, and what else I could/should cover it with? I'll go search this myself now that I have an appropriate search term.]
