Substrate Temp. Touch Dry Overcoating Time
Launch 73˚ F (23˚C) 2 hrs 3 hrs 12 hrs 95˚ F (35˚C) 1 hrs 5 hrs 12 hrs - 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 Thinner to maximize surface penetration and allow to dry in accordance with the product label. Apply two more coats without any Thinner reduction.
Aluminum: Abrade 80 grit, apply 2 coats of S-76 (2 mils DFT per coat) and allow to dry to touch(thumb test). Apply 10 mils DFT of 1284 Tuff Stuff primer, see technical Bulletin AL1284 directions. Let the 1284 dry touch (thumb test ) prior the first coat of the 3 coats of COLORKOTE. No more than 24 hrs for the first coat of COLORKOTE over 1284 TUFF STUFF.
- Application Data

Consult your Sea Hawk Representative for the system best suited for surfaces to be protected.
- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80°F (21-27°C) temperature range prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage between 40° and 100°F (4-38°C). Prolonged atmospheric exposure of this product may detract from performance. Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating and proper coating application procedures. As application, environmental and design factors can vary significantly due care should be exercised in the selection, verification of performance, and use of the coating.
