Nonmetallic Paint Over:
Before applying antifouling on the bottom of a steel hull, you need to apply two coats of barrier nonmetallic paint over the primer beneath the final antifouling. Galvanic corrosion could result if copper-bearing paint came in contact with the steel. Some paint producers provide a system of compatible paints for steel hull use.There are also a few vital special items: triangular shave hooks and Flexible scrapers for removing old paint; masking tape for protecting surfaces not to be painted; paint shield of metal or plastic to restrict paint to the area being painted; tack or tacky rag to pick up dust; clean, lint-free rags; paint stirrer (there is one usable with a power drill); paint buckets. Use a bucket so the bulk of your paint stays free from contamination. It also makes carrying paint - especially up ladders - much easier, since not all paint cans have handles.
The way you apply paint is largely a matter of personal choice. You can use brushes in conjunction with a paint-roller - a tool developed for the amateur user of latex paint. The paint pad has its advantages, too.
