Dear Dave J, I would agree w the yard and apply 7 coats. It's more than what Interlux recommends but the cost of paint is minimal compared to the cost of sodablasting and fairing the surface. I also think alternating the colors is the easiest way to prove how many coats went on the hull especially if you want proof of warranty. It is neat to see how it changes the look of your boat, too.
If you are rolling it yourself, you'll find the extra coats are easy to apply since you'll have your setup and mixing technique honed to a professional execution. The result is very hard and the peace of mind after executing a job well is priceless. Temperature is critical to the minimum wait time and the maximum procrastination time between coats. The can has a tabIe of rules that allow many different scenarios. I rolled 6 coats white and grey, Fall of '07. Some days I got two coats on but I couldn't stand the smell when it cures, so would roll a coat on and leave the boat, come back the next day or sometimes next week depending on weather. You have to monitor the temperature of the hull surface (not airtemp) and the cooler it is, the longer you have to wait between coats. When it's 50, the minimum wait before overcoating is 5 hrs, so one coat may be all you can finish in a day. You can wait up to two weeks between coats, and 50 degree weather and rain and work delayed my project which completed within the rules, but took me two months of weekends.

The can will give coverage guidance so you can use that as a guide for thickness too.

The yard recommended 7 coats of Interlux Interprotect 2000E barrier coat which frankly seems a bit much. According to them, Interlux (who recommends 4-5 coats 10 mil minimum) won’t honor their warrantee if you use less. Never short for opinions I’m hoping you folks can provide me some recommendations for barrier coatings.
