I think there is a misunderstanding. With paint I meant normal marine anti fouling paint. It doesn't work that well, and is not mechanically tough. You can easily make a scratch / remove paint by dragging a fingernail along the hull.

The product Coppercoat is epoxy based, and seems both tough and good, by the replies in this thread.
The underside of a boat is not exposed to direct sunlight. And there is epoxy which handles UV exposure.

I thought you can't do epoxy and copper powder, because epoxy cannot handle sunlight UV.

You have to add it to the paint, I thought.

| Epoxy with copper powder might actually be better than the poor antifouling-paint which falls off and is repainted with bad preparations and falls off even faster.
