Bottom Paint for 1969 Sailboat

[raja612]

Looking for suggestions on bottom paint ideas for a 23' 1969 Kittiwake Sailboat. The boat will be kept in Florida, salt/brackish water most of the time after restoration is complete.

The hull is fiberglass, will paint it a dark glossy blue. I want it to look like a classic beauty!

Does anyone have any photos of Pettit "Hard Racing Bronze" ? I am opposed to black, thinking maybe a dark burgundy or hunter green? Any photos or suggestions are welcome.

Thank you kindly

There aren't a lot color choices for bottom paint... IMO it's not a strong cosmetic issue... just something that looks decent... gray goes with everthing. Never seen Hunter Green bottom paint... Most choices are red, blue, gray, black and white. I like red. Once the boat's in the water the bottom paint isn't to visible since it's below the water line.
