Less than a year ago I had a bottom paint job done. when I had it out for other repairs the black bottom paint began to flake off, all over the bottom! The gray primer stuck well.
Funny though. the black bottom paint didn't flake where it had been applied a little higher than the waterline. That is, where it hadn't been actually soaking in water over time.
Also, the boat was out for almost five weeks, and it seemed to flake more the drier it got over time- or at least that's when I stared noticing it. It's in salt water, had never been painted before as it was always in fresh water.
I had the guy that did it out to look at it, and he wasn't happy. I haven't heard back from him yet.
Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks, Paladin
