TotalBoat Krypton Copper Free Antifouling – Marine Ablative Boat Bottom Paint | for Fiberglass, Wood, Aluminum & Steel Boats | Ideal for Outdrives & Trim Tabs (Blue, Quart)

I got this paint because a sailing magazine did a test where they painted different parts of a boat with different ablative paints. Total Boat Krypton had the least growth after two years. There was almost nothing there but the paint. The cans are well sealed, they arrived severely dented but did not leak. Maybe see if it can be purchased locally. If you are replacing a marine toilet, try to buy that locally too. I actually heard mine break when the post office lady carried to to my door and abruptly dropped it instead of leaning over to set it down.

It covers very well and goes a long way .

The gallon of paint arrived severely dented and with most of the bubble wrap popped inside the box. The handle had popped off of the side of the can as well and couldn't be re-attached. I am very surprised that the can didnt rupture. Despite a this side up sticker on the side of the box, it was placed on its side on my front porch.I have sanded off VC 17 bottom paint and included a photo of the bare hull. I painted a 20" square as a test spot and am so far pleased with the results. When checked the next day, the paint has good adherance and dried completely to a slick finish. Will update this review as I learn more but so far so good.

This is by far the best paint I have ever used. The color blue screams "I'm a boat who enjoys life". Goes on smooth with a sheen that is almost reflective. Coverage is amazing! Two coats on a 22ft Grady Seafarer with one gallon and still have a quarter can after touch ups. Cheap, no, but cheap looks cheap. Spend the extra money and you'll be smiling all the down the intercoastal.

I would not recommend oredering this paint, despite it looking likke a decent quality paint. I had a window to get my boat sand blasted and painted, and had put a gallon on, which did not quite cover the bottom. I immediately ordered another gallon, which did not show up, and eventually showed up as the package being damaged. Not knowing the procedure, instead of immediately shipping me a new gallon, they refunded my money, which I am still waiting on. The boatyard could not wait, so I do not know when I can get another slot to get it painted, maybe in a month or two, making me miss the spring season. I saw this happened to someone else, and this is gross incompetence. I should have bought the paint locally, it was not that much more, but I was told that this was good environmentally compliant paint. Well regardless of the quality, if you can't get a gallon of paint in a prompt manner, its no good. Another complaint I have is the paint was so globbed up in the bottom, that I had to buy a paint shaker to get it stirred properly. The boat yard guys was considering using this paint, but are just as disgusted with the crappy service. Given that A) I did not get the paint, B) still don't have it, and C) it was not reshipped promptly instead of giving me a refund, D) The globular nature of the paint, and E) Having to reorder from scratch, despite the paint lookiing halfway decent and applied halfway decently on the can I got, I am still disgusted. Amazon did not specify that I would get a 2-4 day refund instead of a reship, which really disgusted me, they could have emaiiled me. I would not buy this paint, go to your local marine store.

Needed to do my annual fresh coat of bottom paint on a 24 foot pontoon. It was like painting a bathroom - tape it off and roll it on. That was September. It's now the end of January and my boat's tubes that stays in salt water 24x7 are still in great shape. I bought 2 gallons because I had no idea how much I'd need. I used less than one gallon to apply THREE coats.

Went on moved, but after just one time in the water, it is all faded and looks terrible

Good product but one big warning:Looked great after application but my 32-ft Bayliner which I was restoring, I was working on out of the water on its trailer. (would be over a year to finish all). Well, 7-months latter, on the Port side at the top of the paint line where the paint caught the direct sunlight every morning (at 6000 ft in AZ), the blue paint on about 40% of that section had turned black, severely cracked and blistered. This paint is meant to be in the water and does not have the UV protectorate in it and will fail if exposed to direct sun.The starboard side, and what portion of the hull that was angled down, 90% of the hull was in the shade and no problem, looked great!If I had known direct sunlight would cause failure after several months, that one upper section strip on the port side that was not angled down, I would have made sure it was covered to not get hit with direct sun every day and there would have been no problem.I called the company's tech department on 10/27/17 and strongly advised that they put a warning on the can per: ** "This paint is intended to be in the water and may have early failure if exposed to direct sunlight out of the water for an extended period of time." ** or in the alternative that they put a UV protectorate in the paint. (many boats when dry-docked or being worked on will be out of the water for extended periods of time exposed to direct sunlight every day)
