Service Description

Antifouling Boat Paint Application is essential for vessels that remain in the water for extended periods. Marine growth — algae, slime, and barnacles — increases drag, reduces fuel efficiency, and impacts hull performance. We apply high-quality antifouling coatings to the underwater portion of your hull following required preparation standards. Proper adhesion is critical. Bottom Prep Level 2 (BP02) is typically required to ensure the surface is properly scuffed and solvent-cleaned before paint application. Antifouling does not completely eliminate growth. It significantly limits strong adhesion, making seasonal cleaning easier and preserving performance. For owners seeking maximum long-term protection, epoxy barrier coating is available. When selected, a minimum of three epoxy coats are applied following Bottom Prep Level 4 (laser preparation) to protect against moisture intrusion and blistering. What This Service Solves • Marine growth adhesion • Reduced speed from drag • Increased fuel consumption • Hull fouling buildup • Seasonal performance loss Minimum time: 4 hours for a 30-foot vessel following required prep. Starting from CA$700. This service does not include structural hull repair, blister repair, or bottom fairing unless quoted separately. Frequently Asked Questions Does antifouling stop growth completely? No. It limits adhesion and makes cleaning easier. Is prep required before antifouling? Yes. Proper preparation ensures adhesion and coating performance. How often should antifouling be applied? Typically once per season depending on usage and water conditions. What is an epoxy barrier coat? A multi-coat moisture protection system applied beneath antifouling. Can you apply antifouling over old paint? Only after proper preparation and compatibility assessment.
