TotalBoat Underdog Bottom Paint

I've used a few different brands of antifouling paint. I've had the best results from total boats underdog. Even being a ""single season"" paint I've been able to get multiple seasons from it with minor touch ups. Going to continue using it on my boat!

We needed to barrier coat and bottom paint our forty-year-old 36-foot trawler in one day and we chose TotalProtect two-part and this. NOTE: There was a small issue with shipping - too big of a container and the two cans weren't packed very well - wrapped in a plastic bag with some kraft paper stuff - so there was some leakage and fairly significant denting - but the leakage was minimal and I boxed the two gallons into a single bucket - no harm no foul. It's gotten very hot where we are in southwest FL, so we knew it was going to be a race once we got started. At dawn we were wiping and taping and about an hour and a half later, I boxed the two gallons of ablative and then mixed the first gallon of barrier coat. Let it sit twenty minutes, thinned it 10%, and started applying as soon as the thinner was mixed well. Ultimately, we started at the starboard bow and worked our way back, then up the port side to the port bow and then around again. We ran out of barrier coat about 2/3 of the way up the port side, so we mixed another batch and continued around for two full coats - admittedly a little thinner on the second one. The weather cooperated and the timing was perfect as we started the second coat the first was thumbprint tacky. As luck would have it, the second coat was also thumbprint tacky once we got back around to the port bow and we were able to immediately start the ablative application. I did NOT thin the ablative and it went on much thicker - but also easier. With two of us working - one cutting and one rolling, switching out roles several times, we were able to do the entire bottom in about three hours. And she looks amazing.

have used this paint ,afew years now ,excellent coverage ,almost zero growth on bottom after10 months in water each year

I just painted my boat with TB and am pleased with the application and color. The test will be to see how well it holds up when Autumn comes.

Good bottom paint at half the price of the expensive one.

Its my first time with this paint, so we'll see how it wears. It went on well for the most part. Certain areas required a second coat once the first coat tacked up. The foam brushes that come with the paint are useless, but that was anticipated.

I was recommended this product and I could not happier. As it was my first time doing a bottom on a boat I did not know what to expect. All in all, the product went on very well. Coverage was excellent. I would use again.

We ordered through Amazon initially. The order ended up being returned by the shipper due to badly damaged parcel. We never saw it…they deemed it undeliverable. While we are paying for our boat to be pulled out on a schedule and paying for each day we wait for paint!! So we called Total Boat and tried to expedite two cans. Could not expedite but we did order our two cans We waited 5 days for shipment to arrive…and of course the cans were smashed to the point of having difficulty opening and even stirring the contents prior to painting. It was a horrible experience and of course costly for us. We got the job done but not a great way to start our journey from USA to Mexico. Perhaps it will be a ""haha"" not so funny moment on our YouTube.

The paint seemed fine, it went on well and dried faster than I expected. However, the paint comes in a kit that includes a roller, paint tray and masking tape. I used the masking tape included with the kit and when I removed it all the tape adhesive stayed on the project. I spent 3 hours trying to clean it off the project. No solvents got onto the tape, only the paint. In the future, if I order products that includes this tape. it will immediately go into the trash.

If you order it through Amazon, you don't get all of the extras. Very disappointed. Now i have to buy it all separately.
