Does anyone one have a tin of Warpaint antifouling they would part with?


Recommended Posts

As Warpaint has been discontinued I'm faced with stripping the Warpaint off.

 

If there is anyone out there with a tin they are happy to part with it will hopefully get me another season before getting the scraper out 🤞

Caught in this as well, so I am asking the obvious lazy question - is it actually absolutely required to scrape back the old Warpaint?

Assuming the normal prep for a like-on-like over-coating is completed, would there be a problem just overcoating the old Warpaint with a different ablative eg #5?

I reached out to Altex and they said would need to remove before putting #5 on.

 

We put Warpaint over Vivid Petit and the adhesion isn't the best.

 

When we get barnacles it pulls Warpaint off down to the vivid.

Pretty sure vivid is a different paint chemistry, whereas warpaint and no 5 are solvent based ablatives so mostly likely compatible.
