[Alberg30] Bottom Paint Step-by-step

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Richard,

In my opinion, I would paint the boot stripe first. Then mask off the boot
stripe and paint from the bottom of the keel up. Otherwise you will end up
with bottom paint in your hair, please don't ask how I know that answer. But
blue and grey hair don't go well together.

In what order does one paint the hull...hull to keel or keel to hull?
(Note: Partner and I intend to roll and tip 1 part Interlux Brightsides, a
Boot stripe, and Interlux antifouling on bottom)

I would think painting boot stripe first might be best.  Boot strip would
then allow 3M tape to hold for top side of hull and antifouling paint on
bottom.  In other words, removing the 3M tape after hull painting and again
after bottom painting would not damage the boot stripe.  Seems like if one
painted keel to deck, the antifouling paint would not allow 3M tape to
adhere to it.  Or removing 3M tape would also remove antifouling paint?
Could not find these details in book or site. Suggestions?
