Strip existing paint off the hull and sand with 80 grit sandpaper. Within an hour of doing so, apply a coat of Interlux's Interprotect 2000E barrier coat. When enough time has elapsed to allow for overcoat, apply their Epoxy Primekote. Finish with their Brightside polyurethane or Perfection two-part topside paint.
If using bottom paint as well, make sure that you tape off the water line before applying Epoxy Primekote, as you want to use bottom paint only over the barrier coat. In other words, don't use the Primekote where bottom paint will go. Another very important hint to be aware of, you must apply the anti-fouling paint (use their Trilux 33) before the barrier coat dries, which allows the two to bond. If it dries, the bottom paint will not adhere well and may flake off. Any other questions, feel free to ask. I have lots of knowledge in this field.
