I was thinking of having the bottom of Kimberlite stripped and painted.
I have been using ablative paint for the last 13 years and the bottom is no longer fair, regardless of a number of heavy sandings. Has anyone had their boats bottom and keel media blasted? Someone mentioned that media blasting will harm the gelcoat.
Also, would you recommend a barrier coat if I have the bottom paint removed to the gelcoat?
Was the original factory paint hard epoxy or ablative paint? What was applied to the keel?
