It was a Interlux product and cannot recall what the product was called then. It was applied to a sanded and clean bottom using foam rollers and has a orange peel surface. The work was done by a very good glass pro in Holland, Mi.

Keith what kind of boat is it? If it's a offshore boat in good condition, I'm with the others who have suggested not to touch it. If it's something else, I could see painting it. I can only assume it's an offshore or you probably would be on the site unless it's just for advice.
