Trinidad is an excellent hard paint, with lots of copper.  When kept wet 
after application, it worked very well.  If allowed to dry out, the 
surface copper oxidizes and doesn't work as well, I'm told.

My big complaint with Trinidad is that it needs removing.  I put it off 
a long time, but eventually got small blisters between the paint and 
gelcoat, resulting in a pock-marked surface.  Then I had to take it down 
to the gelcoat and start over.  After doing that, I started over with an 
ablative.
