Product Overview:
EPaint EP-2000 Black (EP-301) is a high-performance water-based antifouling paint recommended for all boats in fresh and salt water.
EP-2000 offers an exceptionally smooth, hard, mar-resistant finish and the cleanest and whitest bottom. White EP-2000 offers excellent antifouling protection in even the harshest tropical environments. EP-2000 is also a great choice for boats frequently trailered.
EP-2000 is water-based; there is no harsh solvent smell, and it is much safer to work. EP-2000 may be burnished to a mirror like finish if desired.
EP-2000 is recommended over new surfaces and not recommended over most existing bottom paints; painting conditions must be met before choosing this paint.
ePaint makes the best white color bottom paints on the market!

Considerations:
- EP-2000 is not compatible with other existing antifouling coatings; old paints must be removed before applying
