The result is a hard, scrubbable, abrasion-resistant surface with predictable antifouling performance across all waters. The Teflon fluoro microadditive minimizes drag, and the film can be wet-sanded and burnished to produce the smoothest, fastest surface possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of antifouling paint is VC Offshore?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a hard, contact-leaching antifouling paint. The film dries porous and packed with biocides that leach out on contact with water to prevent fouling growth, leaving a hard, abrasion-resistant surface once the biocide is exhausted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan VC Offshore be used in both fresh water and salt water?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

The coating is extremely hard, resists damage, and is easy to clean and burnish for the fastest possible finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the finish be burnished?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. VC Offshore dries to a very hard, smooth finish that can be burnished to a very low profile, producing an exceptionally smooth and fast antifouling surface prized by racers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the Blue version of VC Offshore antifouling paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much area does one gallon cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is supplied in a 1 gallon container. Actual coverage depends on application method, number of coats, and surface preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat surfaces can VC Offshore be applied to?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is recommended for fiberglass, wood, and primed underwater metals below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the boat be hauled and relaunched without repainting?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Hard antifoulings do not retain their antifouling ability out of the water and cannot be hauled and relaunched without repainting. For haul-and-relaunch capability, a paint using Micron Technology would be required instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs VC Offshore a good choice for racing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
