How much bottom paint for two coats of Trinidad?

Post by danhaun »

Hi All:

My 32 monohull took about 1.5 gallons minimum for two coats of Trinidad. I usually bought two gallons and painted three coats in critical areas.

How much should I buy for the PDQ 32?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds about right. 2 gallons should get 2 coats and 3 on the bows, keel fronts, and rudders. 2 hulls, but they are thin.
