TotalBoat Alumipaint AF Aluminum and Pontoon Boat Bottom Paint

Alumipaint AF is an antifouling paint specifically formulated for aluminum and pontoon boats. Aluminum or pontoon boats used in salt or brackish water require protection from fouling organisms like algae, barnacles, mussels, slime, and weeds just like' steel, fiberglass or wooden boats. However, traditional bottom paints containing cuprous oxide (copper) are problematic due to the electrolysis that occurs when copper contacts aluminum. Manufacturers, boatyards, and DIY boat owners alike have struggled to find an effective replacement for now-banned TBT (tin) based paints.

Alumipaint's potent blend of Econea and Zinc is an environmentally friendly biocide 100% compatible with all aluminum surfaces. It's also perfect for use on outdrives and running gear to minimize galvanic corrosion risks. Compare to Pettit Pontoon Pro or Interlux Pacfica Plus. You get superior coverage and durability with 1 to 2 coats. Simply paint over a previously painted surface that is in good condition or over a properly primed bare aluminum surface. Proper preparation and priming of bare aluminum is critical for paint performance and to prevent corrosion. Unprotected aluminum corrodes rapidly in salt or brackish waters.

Ready to paint bare aluminum, such as a new pontoon or one that's had the finish sanded off? You need the right primer and process or no paint will stick. We recommend TotalBoat TotalProtect epoxy primer followed by Alumipaint AF for a complete, easy to follow system. This season, rely on this copper-free solution to maintain your aluminum boat's integrity and cruising speed, while preventing the leaching of harmful chemicals into the waters. All TotalBoat products are developed by boaters, for boaters. We know what works and what doesn't.
