Boat Antifouling Paint

This collection focuses on leading marine coatings from International Paint and Hempel. You’ll find a variety of antifoul types including self-polishing antifoul, hard antifoul and cruising formulations suitable for different boating needs. Options such as International’s Cruiser range and Hempel’s Classic and Mille series are popular choices, offering dependable seasonal protection and compatibility with a wide range of hull types.

Yes, but selecting the right antifoul depends on your boat type, usage and where it’s kept. Different formulations are designed for specific conditions, such as high-fouling saltwater environments or freshwater moorings. Our range includes options suitable for yachts, motorboats and racing craft, with clear guidance on compatibility and performance so you can choose with confidence.

Several antifoul paints are available in a range of colours, including black, blue, red and grey, allowing you to match your hull or previous coatings. Pack sizes typically range from smaller tins for touch-ups to larger volumes for full hull application. Always check each product page for the exact options currently in stock.

Selecting the right antifoul paint depends on how and where you use your boat. Self-polishing antifoul is ideal for most cruising vessels, gradually wearing away to maintain a smooth, active surface. Hard antifoul is better suited to faster boats or those that are frequently scrubbed. Consider your cruising area, as waters with higher fouling levels may require more robust formulations. It’s also important to check compatibility with your existing coating and choose a product suited to your hull material. Features such as ease of application, drying time and longevity will also help ensure reliable protection throughout the season.

Before applying antifoul paint, ensure the hull is clean, dry and properly prepared, removing any loose or flaking coatings. Apply the paint evenly using a brush or roller, following the manufacturer’s instructions for coverage and drying times. Regularly inspect your hull throughout the season and reapply antifoul as needed to maintain optimal protection and performance.
