Fiberglass Bottomkote Racing Bronze

Fiberglass Bottomkote® Racing Bronze provides season long protection against fouling organisms. Fiberglass Bottomkote Racing Bronze uses an acrylic resin to provide ease of application, and a hard, smooth, racing finish, that is compatible with most other types of antifouling paints.

• Can be hauled out and trailered, on a short term basis, without loss of antifouling capability
• Can be wet-sanded and burnished to provide an even smoother surface for racing boats
• For use on fiberglass, wood and primed underwater metals (except aluminum)
• Effective in fresh and low fouling salt water against barnacles and zebra mussels

How Much AntiFouling Paint Do I Need?
Determining how much antifouling you will need is fairly simple. You can calculate the area to paint by multiplying the length of your hull (LOA) by the beam and multiply by 0.85 (LOA x B x 0.85 = Area). Then divide the area by the coverage of the paint you’ve chosen to determine how many quarts per coat you will need.
Refer to the reference chart below for another quick estimate of how much antifouling paint is required for two coats.
