Pettit Black Widow 1300220 Burnishable Racing Bottom Paint

Black Widow is a burnishable racing finish designed for boat bottoms where speed is the top priority. Pettit Black Widow (part number 1300220) is formulated as an ultra-smooth, slick finish that can be burnished by hand or machine to a metallic gun-metal shine, reducing surface friction along the hull. Because it is built for performance rather than general-purpose protection, it is the finish of choice for racing sailboats and high performance offshore powerboats that need every bit of speed the bottom finish can offer.

Unlike standard antifouling bottom paints that are left with a matte, unburnished surface, Black Widow is engineered specifically to take a burnish, giving racers a smoother, faster surface underwater. It is applied to the bottom of the boat and worked to the desired shine level after cure.
