Rob,
Painting over one kind of paint with another is quite different
from what you originally proposed, which was to mix them all together in a
can first. I think that is a bad idea unless you are certain that the paints
all have essentially the same chemistry in their drying process. It might
work, but why not play it safer, and just use one can until it runs out, and
then the next, and so on.

I am not so sure I would trust them..... years ago, I bought a Kirby 25
with VC 17.......I wanted to put Micron CSC on the bottom but I did not
want to remove the VC17.......I will never remove antifouling paint again.
I asked Interlux tech support if I could put the CSC over the VC
17....."absolutely not was Interlux's answer.....the CSC will simply peel
off and provide no antifouling protection.....you must remove the VC 17".
I gave it a wet sanding with 320 grit paper and applied the Micron CSC
over it......absolutely no problem for the 7 years we raced the boat.
John Roy and Paul Gallant remarked how nice the bottom of the Kirby
was......John even felt the bottom had been 'long sanded' at some point
before I bought the boat.
I painted the entire inside of the Kirby with Brightside......Interlux
told me it would peel if I didn't prime first......no primer and one part
Brightside worked fine....never peeled.
Maybe I just answered my own question......what possible harm could it do!

I have 3 different kinds of antifouling paint (Micron 66, Micron CSC and
another ablative with 43% copper ) ......approx. a litre or quart of
each.
Would it be alright to dump all of it into one one gallon can and mix it
all together. I realize they might have different individual
effectiveness but do I really care if I don't have to buy a gallon of
paint in the Spring.
