Note: Special order item, typically ship within 1 to 2 weeks.
Product Overview:
EPaint EP-2000 Blue (EP-101 Series) 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 bottom. EP-2000 is also a great choice for boats frequently trailered. EP-2000 in Blue offers excellent protections in fresh water and moderately fouling saltwater conditions. EP-2000 in White and Gray light colors provide the best antifouling protection in even the harshest tropical environments due to the paints photo-active nature in keeping the surface clean.
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.
EPaint EP-2000 is recommended over new surfaces (e.g. properly prepared and primed fiberglass or aluminum) and NOT recommended over other existing bottom paints besides itself; existing bottom paint must be removed; make sure you can meet the painting conditions choosing this paint, EP-2000 Technical Data Sheet. EPaint Ecominder, EP-21, SN-1 and ZO series bottom paints are compatible over most existing bottom paints with simple surface preparation.
