Product Overview:

EPaint EP-2000 Gray (EP-701) 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 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.

Considerations:

  • EP-2000 is not compatible with other existing antifouling coatings; old paints must be removed before applying
  • Re-applying EP-2000 in later years is simple, just lightly sand with 80 grit, wash away dust and debris with water only, and allow to dry
  • EP-2000 must not be applied when temperatures will dip below 60°F (15.6°C) or when relative humidity exceeds 65%
  • Due to the photo-active nature of EP-2000, additional coats around the waterline strongly recommended to extend service life
  • White EP-2000 is recommended for use in high fouling environments
