So I am going to paint my boat myself this summer and in the process of researching paints and techniques I have greatly confused myself. Different articles say different things so I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. My main concern is if I need Anti-fouling paint or not... I haven't used my boat in salt water but I don't to rule out the possibility of doing so by using the wrong paint. I have been told that If I want to use regular topside paint on the whole thing that I can but if I do I will not be able to leave the boat in the water for more than a couple of days at a time. However no antifouling paint colors match up with topside colors and I want to paint the whole thing the same color red. Does anyone know if there is a Clear coat anti fouling paint or if I really will be ok painting the whole boat with topside paint?? By the way I am looking at Interlux products. Thanks for the help.
