Bottom Painting
If your boat lives in the water, the hull below the waterline is under constant attack from marine growth, barnacles, and osmotic corrosion. Professional bottom painting is the most effective defense — and proper preparation is everything.
What Bottom Painting Involves
A quality bottom paint job is 70% preparation. We pressure wash, sand, fair, and prime before a single drop of paint is applied.
- Pressure washing and marine growth removal
- Surface sanding and hull fairing where required
- Barrier coat primer application
- Two coats of quality anti-fouling paint
- Waterline tape and color-matched striping
- Full inspection of running gear and anodes
Why Bottom Paint Is Non-Negotiable for In-Water Storage
- Barnacle and growth buildup creates significant drag and fuel waste
- Osmotic blistering begins when bare fiberglass is exposed to water
- Marine growth attaches within days in warm South Carolina waters
- A properly prepped bottom coat lasts a full season and beyond
- Early application prevents expensive hull repairs later
Why Choose Thomas Marine?
