Description

In salt water or fresh water, TotalBoat JD Select ablative bottom paint for fiberglass, wood, and steel boats provides economical seasonal protection that prevents barnacles, slime, and weeds from sticking to the bottom of your sailboat or power boat, slowing you down and increasing your fuel bill. Environmentally friendly, low-VOC, water based bottom paint cleans up easily with soap and water, and has no toxic fumes. JD Select is easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray equipment on properly prepared fiberglass, wood, steel and iron. It can also be applied over most existing marine paint that's in good condition (do not use over think film freshwater paints). With simple prep and 1-2 coats of JD Select, your boat's hull will still look amazing below the waterline when it's pulled out of the water at season's end. Burnish the hybrid paint film for a faster, smoother, more fuel-efficient finish than you can get using other types of antifouling paints. Black, Blue, Green, and Red color choices are colorfast and come in quart and gallon sizes. At 500 square feet per gallon, this 1-part power boat and sailboat bottom paint has excellent coverage so you get the most out of your paint. Important note: This product is intended for antifouling applications on boats, below the waterline only. It is not intended for household use. Compare to Interlux bottom paint, including Interlux Fiberglass Bottom Kote NT, Interlux Micron, Interlux Fiberglass BottomKote Aqua, Sea Hawk Monterey Bottom Paint, Pettit HRT Neptune, US Marine Products Coastal Copper 450 Ablative Antifouling Bottom Paint and Rustoleum Boat Bottom Paint.

I slap a layer of this on every season and it works good enough in the sea of cortez. One gallon does 1 coat on a 33ft boat with a large fin keel

  • Very impressive application quality with painting suit, roller, pan and stir sticks
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I have been using various bottom paints wince about 1983. This review has no bias for or against JD Select, in that I bought the product. It was not supplied at reduced cost for a review. OK, so my boat is 41 feet and requires between two and three gallons. I open the first gallon and found very little settling of the heavier compounds. A few minutes with the supplied stir stick, and into the supplied roller pan and application with the supplied roller. Excellent coverage. Very smooth line free dried result. It was 52 degree F and the paint was dry enough to recoat in a little over one hour. No smell at all. I didn't miss the fumes from solvent based paints. Back from the marina I found some paint on my arm, dried. Two seconds under the faucet and the dried paint was gone. The application phase couldn't have gone better. The look of the paint and coverage is excellent. How well will it perform? Only time will tell, I can't review that at this point. ... show more

  • Shipping of the paint should be better executed Shipping of the paint should be better executed
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I have bought this paint before years ago for my boat and never had any issues. There is no bubble wrap or protection in the box. It was leaking.. I like the paint. It works well on my boat. I do not understand why it can’t be shipped to me in a better box shipping with bubble wrap.

  • Great Paint
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I purchased a gallon of both Black and Blue JD Select bottom paint. Both went on easily and brushes, roller and pan were super easy to clean up. The can says it will cover approximately 400sq ft and by all calculations I estimated that I should get 2-3 coats per gallon on the bottom of my boat. as it turns out I'll get probably 5-6 coats of black and 4-5 coats of blue. The blue was more prone to drips than the black but in my opinion both are excellent products. I'm very impressed and will continue to use Total Boat and JD Select products. ... show more

  • Dries to quick
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Blue
This paint dries to quickly when you try to roll it on. I ended up putting it into a paint sprayer and spraying it on. If you do roll it on, you have to keep your roller wet with water to be able to cover more area.

  • Impressed with results
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
Each year I use the least expensive antifouling paint I can find. I bought this because the lower cost paint was out of stock, and I can tell the difference is like night and day. My boat has been sitting in the water for 3 months and there's nothing attached or growing on the sides that I can see. In the past there would be algae growing within the 1st month. I won't know how the bottom held up until I pull the boat out for the season, but I expect it to better than the past using cheaper paint. The cost was worth it. ... show more
