Props to efficiency

It is suitable for all surfaces - including aluminium - and because it is an aerosol it is easy to get a coating on the propeller directly after preparation so that the metal doesn't have time to tarnish.
After priming, Mille Drive (which comes in grey or black) can be used as a topcoat. Like the primer it is touch dry in 20 minutes and contains no hazardous chemicals. The very smooth surface it produces stops marine organisms sticking to the prop.
If an all-round spring freshen up is required, Blakes Multicoat - a primer and topcoat in one - can easily be mixed to get different shades. Multicoat can be used on all areas above water level and is ideal for fishing boats where a good finish but not too much preparation is desired. It is suitable for most surfaces, including bare wood, GRP, metal and even aluminium.
The Prop Primer costs £10.80 and Mille Drive £14.95. Both come in 500ml cans. Multicoat is available in a range of colours, and costs £13.65 for 750ml
