Bottom paint in Costa Rica
Antifouling paint for Pacific waters
Warm water off Costa Rica's Pacific coast grows barnacles, weed and slime quickly. A fouled bottom slows your boat, burns more fuel and can damage the hull. The right antifouling bottom paint, applied properly, keeps you running clean between haul-outs.
- Matched to your boat. Tell us your hull type, how often you run and your current paint. We'll recommend a compatible antifouling.
- Complete haul-out kits. Primers, barrier coat, rollers, brushes, tape, sandpaper and solvent, all in one stop.
- For boatyards & captains. Volume quantities and US special orders for specific brands and colors.
Ablative vs. hard paint
Ablative (self-polishing) paint slowly wears away, keeping fresh biocide at the surface. It suits boats that run regularly. Hard antifouling forms a tougher film that holds up to frequent hull cleaning and is the usual choice for racing bottoms.
Check compatibility first
Not every antifouling can go over every old coating. Bring us the name of your current bottom paint, or a photo of the can, and we'll make sure the new coat bonds.
