JD Select Water-Based Boat Antifouling Bottom Paint - Green Gal

Best bottom paint I have ever used plus water clean up

Was worried one qt would not be enough to do 2 coats on my boat. However there was enough to do 2 coats plus some left over. Went on easy and has good coverage. Little high on price but its sort of expected whej buying quality paint. Looks great amd has a flat black look to it

I have been using various bottom paints wince about 1983. This review has no bias for or against JD Select, in that I bought the product. It was not supplied at reduced cost for a review. OK, so my boat is 41 feet and requires between two and three gallons. I open the first gallon and found very little settling of the heavier compounds. A few minutes with the supplied stir stick, and into the supplied roller pan and application with the supplied roller. Excellent coverage. Very smooth line free dried result. It was 52 degree F and the paint was dry enough to recoat in a little over one hour. No smell at all. I didn't miss the fumes from solvent based paints. Back from the marina I found some paint on my arm, dried. Two seconds under the faucet and the dried paint was gone. The application phase couldn't have gone better. The look of the paint and coverage is excellent. How well will it perform? Only time will tell, I can't review that at this point.

I have bought this paint before years ago for my boat and never had any issues. There is no bubble wrap or protection in the box. It was leaking.. I like the paint. It works well on my boat. I do not understand why it can’t be shipped to me in a better box shipping with bubble wrap.

This paint dries to quickly when you try to roll it on. I ended up putting it into a paint sprayer and spraying it on. If you do roll it on, you have to keep your roller wet with water to be able to cover more area.

I slap a layer of this on every season and it works good enough in the sea of cortez. One gallon does 1 coat on a 33ft boat with a large fin keel

Excellent coverage we used blue for bottom paint and white for sides and top of boat. Does take quite a long time to dry -48 hours

Did the job. I like Total Boat products.
