TotalBoat Krypton Copper Free Ablative Bottom Paint

Paint was easy to use. Jamestown is a wonderful company to work with.

Works better than leading copper antifoul paints No yearly build up from resin based paint. High polish ablative will stay pretty sharp for up to 18 months I've found. I always prime new hulls before applying this but it's thin and stretches a long way. Won't be going back to Copper, using this for three years and I have no complaints.

Need to switch solvent in this bottom paint from mineral spirits to Naptha/Xylene. The current solvent flashes off way too fast. Paint dried in roller pan, skinned over, peeled up and stuck to the roller and then got in the paint job. I was painting in cold weather. I did a side-by-side comparison (same day) between this product and Interlux's Pacifica Plus. In the future, I would rather pay extra and use Interlux Micron CF or Pacifica Plus because it is much nicer to apply. Thank you.

Pricey but great paint. Does the job as represented and as advertised.

Went on easy...dried fast...previous reviews said it hindered growth...at the moment I'm hoping it will.... I'll report back in a couple months....

Painted the bottom of a new to me boat that had not been done in a long time. Looks great, we splash in one week. More importantly the service I got on the phone and delivery to Ontario, Canada was superior.

I ordered about $400 worth of product, all arrived damaged. Cans were all dented up, some had dented lids and cans. Customer service said that I couldn't return the product due to shipping laws. Unfortunately I probably wont purchased future products, due to receiving damaged products and no discount for such items.

On the sounds of North Carolina, stays effective for 18 months. Only negative is the color fades pretty quickly.

1 gallon yielded 3 coats for the bottom of my project.

Used this white paint to go over old black hull paint. 2 goods coats and the boat looks as good as new. Very pleased with result.

At $100 a quart, I was praying the paint would be good. So so much better than any paint job have ever used or seen. Prep the surface properly and it will look amazing

Applied over previous painted aluminum pontoons with interlux!! Easy to apply but not sure of endurance?

Not only did it ship to me fast but what an incredible complete kit received! Jamestown Distributors goes above and beyond to make sure you have all the right tools for the job.

Krypton went on very easily. The blue color attracted others who were working on their boats. Have to wait to see how effective the paint is.

The can was dented and paint leaked all inside the box and other materials.

Product flowed and covered well. It was used over your prior antifouling paint for aluminum

Applied to my 85 32ft Marinette today. Nice product. Have used total boat product before and will use it again

Very poor results using white Krypton on my 25' Pro-Line center console. I have submitted a detailed complaint to your technical department who have been very responsive and cooperative,

Great paint and a great company to deal with. They supplied the tray, roller, gloves, scuffing pad, stir sticks and full size body coveralls. They made it really easy to apply the paint!

The paint went on smooth and looked great on my Pearson Vanguard 32 but when I pulled her two weeks ago I was greatly disappointed what I saw. Far more growth than I expected based on the cost of the paint.

Bought a gallon in teal for my 79 O'Day 23. Covered my bottom with about 1.5 coats total, and I will say it's the first time I've ever painted a boat bottom. The videos posted were a big help. I'd advise anyone to mix real well before application, I spent a good 5-10 minutes mixing everything with a paint stick, careful not to spill any. Went on easy with a 3/8 nap roller. Excited to see how it does this season on Lake Erie!

I did not have favorable use of 'white' Krypton last season applied to a Cape Dory 28 Flybridge Cruiser; the paint is very thick and coverage is far less than stated, the 1st gallon only covered 2/3 of the length of the hull, the 2nd gallon completed the 1st coat and maybe 2/3 of a 2nd coat. Once in the water the 2nd cost peeled from the 1st coat in many areas, both coats peeled at the waterline, after hauling last Fall we noticed significant discoloring of the white paint, from last Fall thru today both coats are now significantly peeling in many areas which I'm thinking will require much more bottom prep for this coming seasons bottom paint application than previous paints had required. I've been bottom painting our sail & powerboats since the 80's, using many different products and have never seen this level of performance. However slime and barnacle protection was very favorable in our high growth area in Raritan Bay. I may use another Jamestown project but certainly not Krypton.

used this paint for 1 season. had no slime, growth or anything on the bottom Although I do use the boat 2-3 times a week. IT'S docked in Barnegat Nj. The downside is it's single year application

Rolls on easily. Dries quickly. It's rock hard and the color is excellent.

I ordered a gallon to bottom paint my 19 foot power boat. The boat sits on a mooring in Manchester, MA harbor and in the past has gotten pretty slimed up over the summer with copper-based bottom paint. This stuff works better - with a couple of bottom scrubbings in the water over the summer and a quick power wash after pulling the boat, it is really clean. I recoated it the 2nd year but think I could have simply touched it up as it is ablative. I have enough left for a third painting should I decide to repaint in the spring.

My first time application of Krypton with boat in the water in April has been very good up to this point through 4 months. This is a Lake Erie application with the boat permanently docked at my home in a very high sediment river. The slime at the water line is easily removed with a rag or soft brush. I will report back in late fall to comment on the overall durability and difficulty of cleaning the entire bottom, hopefully with a 5 star rating.

It looks nice when it's first put on but it rubs off and there is no cleaning the marks off.

i diligently applied 2 coats, only to see lots of growth and pay extra for a bottom cleaning. I'll try Micron 66 next year.

Works great - and feels great going copper-free...

Initially purchased two gallons of red Krypton. First gallon was rose color and needed quite a bit of mixing. Color stayed rose. Had to apply because I had just applied an epoxy barrier coat. Needed to open second gallon. It was pretty well mixed and was bright red. Ordered a third gallon for a second coat. It also was well mixed and bright red. Concerned that the initial gallon may have been bad. Any thoughts?
