Since I haven't gotten any answers I contacted Interlux and posted their reply below. Now I'm looking for ideas on Grady colored bottom paint. The sandblasting left the surface just a little too rough to make wet sanding and buffing practical. I also have a couple air voids and the larger repair to fix and cover under the waterline so I'm looking for a hard bottom paint that is tint-able. I know top side paints can work for small amounts of time and this will be a mostly trailered boat but I'm not ruling out mooring the boat for as long as a month, possibly more in the summer. I still like the idea of a hard epoxy based paint that will resist the abrasion of the trailer bunks. Any advice is appreciated!

Just as a little FYI for everyone, I emailed Interlux today and they said they strongly recommend against tinting VC Performance Epoxy as it may alter the curing process. So I guess I'm back to either contrasting whites or black bottom paint :confused:
