Pettit Paint Black Widow Racing Bottom Paint, Black, 1 Gallon (1186906)

Black Widow is a racing bottom paint from Pettit Paint, formulated as a slick, low-friction antifouling finish for boats where speed is the primary concern. It uses dual biocides to deliver high-performance, multi-season protection in fresh and salt water. Four slip agents are built into the formula, including molybdenum disulfide, PTFE, graphite, and silicon, working together to reduce drag across the hull. Black Widow can be applied by roller, brush, or spray, and once cured it can be buffed to a gunmetal metallic luster for an even smoother, lower-friction surface. It is suited to racing sailboats and high-performance offshore powerboats where minimizing drag matters as much as preventing fouling. This listing is for the black, 1 gallon container.
