How much antifouling do I need?
You can work out the amount of antifouling paint you need using these simple steps:
- Work out the area you’ll need to paint using the formula that fits your boat type below.
- Divide the area by the coverage of the paint you’ve chosen to work out how many litres per coat you’ll need.
- Finally, multiply the litres per coat by the number of coats to give you the total amount of paint required.
