MR, depending on the condition of your Outrage, you may find it more cost-effective to sell and get one that is already bottom painted. Older Whalers that have never seen bottom paint command a premium in the marketplace.

If you do decide to paint what you have, the paint companies such as Interlux and Pettit have really good documentation on using their products. Be sure to sand the gelcoat aggressively to get some tooth. One other suggestion is to use a distinctly different top coat color, so you can tell when it is wearing off.
