white bottom paint?

[Ed]

Mark-

My boss and I will soon be applying Awlgrip's white bottom paint to a boat that we restored this winter. It is good stuff but it is not exactly white....more of an off white and after a few weeks in the water it gets darker. (The customer wanted white)

Otto-

Let us know how that Dolphinite clear paint holds up. Up here they've had a bunch a problems with it. The dealer down the street applied it on a new boat (followed the directions on the can) and it dripped off. Dolphinite said the bottom needed to be sanded even though the can said you only needed to dewax. Then Dolphinite said that a shipment of the paint "FROZE" during transport and replaced certain batch numbers. Now they're talking about how some applications will need a primer, especially if you have ever used teflon polish on your boat....what the heck is the sense of the clear bottom paint if you need a color primer?? A clear primer won't be out for another few months.
