TotalBoatTotalBoat JD Select Ablative Antifouling Bottom Paint for Fiberglass, Wood and Steel Boats (Red), 1 Gallon (Pack of 1), 1.00 Gallon (Pack of 1)

Easy to apply, seems to work well, priced affordably, backed by the Jamestown/TotalBoat name. Will buy again.

excellent bottom paint for boat.

Shipping was fast. This is easy to apply, clean up and results in an even coat as heavy as any other bottom paint I’ve tried.

I bough this paint to touch up a few areas where the bottom paint had scuffed off the bottom of my boat. It will not stick to bare finish even if it has been sanded, so I primed and then top coated. After a few months in the in the water I noticed my boat was loosing speed. I took the boat out of water and noticed every place I used it there were a lot of barnacles. Now I have to scape and repaint. It is useless! I also saw similar reviews.

Opening the box there was red paint all over the inside. There seems to be enough paint to finish the job I am doing.

Does the job.

I have been using various bottom paints wince about 1983. This review has no bias for or against JD Select, in that I bought the product. It was not supplied at reduced cost for a review. OK, so my boat is 41 feet and requires between two and three gallons. I open the first gallon and found very little settling of the heavier compounds. A few minutes with the supplied stir stick, and into the supplied roller pan and application with the supplied roller. Excellent coverage. Very smooth line free dried result. It was 52 degree F and the paint was dry enough to recoat in a little over one hour. No smell at all. I didn't miss the fumes from solvent based paints. Back from the marina I found some paint on my arm, dried. Two seconds under the faucet and the dried paint was gone. The application phase couldn't have gone better. The look of the paint and coverage is excellent. How well will it perform? Only time will tell, I can't review that at this point.

Three stars because I know the product is great, I’ve used it before. I don’t recommend buying from Amazon if you have any plans of using your boat anytime soon. Boat has been sitting on cribbing for a month waiting for paint that was supposed to be here in a couple days. Seems improbable that UPS lost first order and then the replacement order but they did or it was not packaged well and they disposed of it. Either way, boat is going back on the trailer for the summer without paint. It’s too hot to stare at the boat in the driveway. I’ll pick some up next time I’m at west marine or keep trying on Amazon just for the fun of it.
