Prop paint

Wondering whether there is any experience in using Rust Oleum Cold Galvanizing vs. bottom paint on thruster (Side Power) props among members? What would you do?

I tried that paint on my trim tabs and running gear last year and it worked pretty well. I just sprayed it on again this year. That said, I never painted tabs or running gear before, so I don't know how it compares to other coatings.

I have tried the spray on stuff and found that it did not last the whole season.

Works great for me and think its cheaper oz for oz of paint.

I've used it on underwater metals and it works ok. Same stuff as Barnacle Barrier it seems for less money. I don't use it on my bow thruster prop because it's plastic. I paint that same as the bottom.
