Not a good idea. Bottom paint should be thinned as little as possible and never by more than 10%. Too much thinner changes the structure of the paint when it dries and cures, which is critical to how it works. Not thinning it at all is optimum, but most thin it SLIGHTLY to make it easier to roll on.

Listers,

I’m considering the idea of spray-painting my bottom paint this season with my usual Petit Vivid bottom paint (I know a thinner is needed to apply).

Has anyone done this? I’m looking to see some time and energy, but am concerned about wasting paint, accidentally painting the topsides, or painting someone else’s boat or nearby car.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. It’s 67 degrees in New York right now and I’m getting the itch.

All the best,

Edd
