EJO:

Currently the boat has topside paint above the waterline paint. I'll be stripping it all off to the gelcoat and using epoxy to fix dings and scuffs on the keel. Question is when I'm ready to reapply paints and coating, is there a process? I'm thinking:

1. Tape off waterline on cleaned hull. Apply barrier coat.
2. Paint using topside down to the barrier coat line.
3. Apply anti-foul to top of waterline where barrier coat ends.

Question is, should I apply barrier coat all the way up the sides since I'll be painting (most likely roll and tipping)?
