​​SURFACE PREPARATION
Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, wax, or other foreign material by solvent or detergent washing.
Compatibility: For pleasure craft applications, please refer to our Sea Hawk Compatibility Chart to ensure compatibility when applying COLORKOTE antifouling paint over existing bottom paint.
Previously Painted Surfaces: COLORKOTE is suitable for this substrate. For correct procedures please refer to our Sea Hawk Compatibility Chart
Fiberglass: COLORKOTE is suitable for this substrate. For correct procedures please refer to the Application Guidelines for Fiberglass/Gelcoat.
Wood Surfaces: Sand the wood surface with 80 grit sandpaper, remove the sanding dust with Sea Hawk S-80 Cleaner, allow to dry, and apply the first coat of
COLORKOTE reduced by 20% with Sea Hawk 2053 Reducer to maximize surface penetration and allow to dry in accordance with the product label. (If 2053 is not available, use 2084 Tuff Stuff Reducer.) Apply two more coats without any Thinner reduction.
Aluminum: Good System: Abrade 80 grit, apply a thin coat of S-75 Alumi-Chrome Primer, and allow to dry to 1 hour. Apply 2 coats of 1277 primer, per product label directions. Let the second coat of 1277 dry overnight prior to 3 coats of COLORKOTE.
Aluminum: Better System: Abrade 80 grit, apply 2 coats of S-76 Strontium Chromate Tack Primer ( 2 mils DFT per coat), and allow to dry to touch(thumb test). Apply 10 mils DFT of 1284 Tuff Stuff High-Build Epoxy Primer, see Technical Bulletin AL1284 directions. Let the 1284 dry touch ( thumb test ) prior to the first coat of the 3 coats of COLORKOTE. No more than 24 hrs for the first coat of COLORKOTE over 1284 Tuff Stuff High-Build Epoxy Primer.

Consult your Sea Hawk Representative for the system best suited for surfaces to be protected.
