I just barrier coated my bottom with 2000e and followed up with Micron 66. I'm happy with both products. However the one gallon of 66 was just enough to cover 2 coats of the exposed areas. Now that I have moved the blocks and stands I don't have enough Micron 66 to cover the 6 small areas where the blocks and stands were.
I'd prefer to not have to spend close to $300 for a gallon of paint (micron 66 is only sold in gallons) when I only need about a quart for these 6 small bare spots. Any suggestions of an alternative paint that's sold in quart that would interact nicely with the Micorn 66 or do I need to spend the money on another gallon of 66 to keep the integrity of the job.
FWIW- the 6 small areas needing paint are all below the waterline, so if there is an alternative it's ok if the blue is not an exact match.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks fo the suggestions. I just wanted to provide and update in case anyone else ends up in this predicament.
I spoke with Interlux tech line and they suggest most of there paints will cover each other with out any bonding issues (assuming the paint is for same applications salt water vs fresh water).
I purchased a quart of Micorn CSC to use for the small area where the blocks were and while the shade of blue was slightly off, its fine with me as the spots are below the waterline and that the quart of CSC is about $80 vs a gallon of 66 costing close to $300.
