Pettit Paint Strainers for Marine Coatings and Antifouling Paint
Pettit Paint Strainers for Marine Coatings and Antifouling Paint
Pettit Paint Strainers are used to filter marine paints, epoxy coatings, and antifouling bottom paint before application, removing lumps, skin, and debris so the finished coat goes on smooth. Straining paint prior to rolling or spraying is a standard step recommended for achieving an even film build with Pettit coatings and helps prevent clogged rollers, brushes, and spray equipment. Keeping paint free of particulates is especially important with two-part epoxy systems and antifouling paints, where a clean, consistent film thickness affects both appearance and performance.
These strainers are part of Pettit's painting supplies line, intended to be used alongside Pettit primers, epoxy barrier coats, and antifouling paints as part of a complete application process. Boat owners and professional applicators use paint strainers as routine prep before every coat to reduce the chance of debris being rolled or sprayed onto the hull.
