G'day all. after saying I would never get involved in a project again here we go again. After some thought I have decided to re paint the bottom of my C/C below the water line,after being given the name of U.S. product that is used I find out that they won't ship liquids such as flammable paint to Australia.
I was hope full that some one would have a local product suggestion, I have gone over the bottom with an orbital sander, back till about 70% of the wood is showing and the remaining paint is very thin,I would like to get a paint that can be tinted to get close to the Teal colour that was original.I have tried the forum search but with no luck any help welcomed Brian.

Thanks Reddwaf after many phone calls I received a call back from a tech rep. from Norglass who was very help full, I have gone with 2 coats of wood treatment followed by 2 more coats of shipshape 2 pac primer and finish up with 2 coats of their 2 pac teal gloss finish with a light sand between all coats. to do below the water line is just over $400. just as well I don't have a 40 ft yacht.
