Bottom Paint

[jimdavi]

Does anyone know what brand bottom paint I have on my 2007 320DA? I have to touch up a few small spots from beaching etc. Any advise would be appreciated.

Sea Ray uses Pettit Hydrocoat which is what I use. This is an ablative paint which means is wears off gradually which means no sanding. Great stuff. West Marine sells it for $119. a gallon.

Thank you! So I don't need to sand the spots I plan to to touch up? Just roll it on the touch-up areas?

Just did mine. The Hydrocoat has a $20 rebate right now from Petit: http://www.pettitpaint.com/20bucksback/

A gallon should do one coat on your boat.

If you have blisters or bare spots, I would scrape any loose paint, sand bare spot with 200 grit sandpaper, wipe down with Acetone, and apply a primer to the bare spots. The guys at Westmarine recommended "Primacon" primer.
