Recommended Topcoat: Antifouling Bottom Paint - Hard Modified Epoxy or Self Polishing Ablative - Within 5 hours at 75 degrees F.
On Sanded Aluminum: Apply one thin coat of Etch Primer before applying Barriershield.

Application: Brush, Spray, or Roller. Roll: 3/8" - 1/2" nap mohair metal, lambskin, phenolic core roller. Keep roller wet. Roll in one direction, re-wet, then cross roll. The product can be reduced as needed with Hi Flash Naphtha to allow proper flow out and performance.
Spray: Conventional Air Gravity Feed 59-70 psi, Tip Size .055 -.070, Airless 2200-2500 psi, Tip Size .013-.017. The product can be reduced with Xylene as needed for proper flow out and performance. For Air Spray reduce 25% with enamel reducer (Xylene).
