Watchin this closely.
I am going to do a seafoam green with red bootstripe (I think) to keep the topsides cool, but she wants a black bottom paint. Curious if when it sits on a boat lift if it will heat up and soften the epoxy.
One option is the black paint and no boatlift.....
Or light bottom paint and a clean bottom thanks to the lift.....
Or just a black bottom that doesn't heat up because its not getting overhead sun!

Larry don't know if you have read page 2 which is where Shine shows the Primer, Guide Coat, final fairing sequence. Take a quick look if you haven't, it starts 1/3 to 1/2 way down the page.
If you don't need to do that then you don't need primer. At least that is the way I read Shine's first answer to you.
Hope I'm being helpful.

If your fine with the fairness of the bottom, go right to epoxy/graphite.Cracker Larry wrote:So, do you think I should prime, or go from fairing compound to graphite
I would roll on some straight/neat epoxy first to seal up the fairing, then go to the graphite mix.
Will she be ready for the skrimp in September?
