ePaint EP-2000 is a smooth finish, hard antifouling bottom paint, intended for racing sailboats and fast moving vessels. This coating is environmental friendly and is suitable for all hull types. It's designed as a hard bottom paint for fast moving vessels that normally operate over 30 knots, or for racing sailboats that are looking for a hard smooth bottom paint that can be burnished.
E Paint employs a novel mechanism to control the attachment of fouling organisms. When immersed in oxygenated water, E Paint photochemically generates minute levels of peroxides, making the surface inhospitable to the settling larvae of fouling organisms. Peroxides have been demonstrated to be effective antifouling agents. The peroxides do not persist in the environment because they quickly decompose back into oxygen and water by natural ions dissolved in the water.

EP-2000 is a high performance, hard, water-based antifouling paint that is recommended for use on all substrates exposed to marine biofouling. EP-2000 is not compatible with other existing antifouling coatings. All pervious antifouling paints must be removed before applying EP-2000. To protect fiberglass from water migration and gel-coat blistering, prime using EP Prime 2000. Metal surfaces must be primed with EP Prime 1000 and EP Prime 2000 prior to application of EP-2000. EP-2000 may be applied by spray, roller or brush.
EP-2000 uses an active biocide Zinc Omadine. Which is formulated with the patented E Paint approach to controlling biofouling that includes a booster biocide Zinc Omadine, offering an ecofriendley alternative to traditional antifouling coatings. EP2000 is recommended for use on racing sailboats, fast moving vessels and trailored vessels.

2012-01-09DAVID PENFIELD: Unknown. I applied it to previously painted [alexseal two part epoxy paint] foils, has held up well.
2012-01-09BERT FRANKS: I painted mine over an epoxy barrier coat, but roughed the surface with 220 grit paper first. It may not stick to fully cured epoxy without roughing. Seems to be holding great. It is only two months old but no problems to report.
2011-09-19LAWRENCE BOROVIAK asked: I am preparing to repaint the bottom of my Beneteau First 32s5. During the past seven years since I purchased the boat I've applied VC 17 every other year. It does not do a very good job repelling slime growth after six months. I've been considering using EP200 however when using your calculator, this option would be very expensive because of the amount of paint necessary to do the job, primer and finish coat. Why does it take so much paint to cover the bottom? In using VC 17 I used about 6 quarts for three coats and 5 at the waterline and leading edges of the bottom. Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote Racing Bronze is my second choice. What would you recommend. Landlocked on Old Hickory Lake, outside Nashville, TN. and Kentucky Lake.
Comments about ePaint EP-2000 Antifouling Racing Bottom Paint:
The application is very easy with a foam brush, does not run easily. Overload a vertical area it will run. I can see myself putting on a new coat each year as recommended. Now to see how it works as an antifouling bit works.
