Repainting all substrates<br />

Below the waterline<br />

We recommend new antifouling once a<br />

year for good protection.<br />

If the existing coating is intact<br />

Overcoat using the same antifouling:<br />

• Wash the surface with Pre-Clean and<br />

freshwater, remove any loose paint and<br />

allow to dry.<br />

• Apply two coats of antifouling.<br />

• See page 45 for more information.<br />

Where the coatings are damaged<br />

You may need to fill and prime first.<br />

• Wet abrade (100–240 grade paper).<br />

• Wash with Pre-Clean and freshwater,<br />

then allow to dry.<br />

• Spot prime and fill where needed,<br />

using appropriate materials.<br />

• Fair filled areas, apply more coats<br />

of primer to encapsulate the filler.<br />

• Allow to dry fully before applying primer<br />

and antifouling from relevant painting<br />

specification.<br />

Clean abraded surface<br />

Apply Underwater Primer onto prepared<br />

surface<br />

Apply antifouling over primer or tiecoat
