Pettit Neptune HRT Water-Based Antifouling Bottom Paint, Blue, Gallon
Pettit Neptune HRT Water-Based Antifouling Bottom Paint, Blue, Gallon
Pettit Neptune HRT is a water-based antifouling bottom paint built with a hybrid paint film technology designed to hold up in the tough marine environment while making application and cleanup far simpler than solvent-based alternatives. Because it is water-based, brushes, rollers, and equipment clean up with just soap and water, and there is no strong solvent smell during application, making it a more user-friendly choice for DIY haul-out and re-launch work. Neptune HRT does not require sanding between coats, which saves both time and labor when applying multiple coats before splashing the boat. Its low VOC formulation makes it well suited for use at marinas that operate under VOC or environmental restrictions on bottom paint application. Neptune HRT can be applied directly over all previously painted surfaces, so boat owners switching from another antifouling paint do not need to strip the hull down to gelcoat before repainting. This listing is for the Blue color in a one-gallon container, manufacturer part number 1121906.
