Will KeelShield work on painted hulls ?
If the paint is anti-fouling paint (is dusty to the touch). The paint will have to be sanded off. Then apply the KeelShield per the instructions. If it is an aluminum boat it will stick as long as the paint does not chip or flake off. When you install a KeelShield you must first scuff the surface. If the paint sands off you will be fine.If the paint chips or flakes you will have to sand off the paint where the KeelShield will be installed.
