As the paint wears, its ablative formula sheds a thin layer of film, continuously exposing fresh biocide and reducing the need for hard sanding between applications. The water-based formulation allows for easy soap-and-water clean-up and produces minimal odor during application, making it a practical choice for boatyards and DIY owners working in enclosed spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis paint is built to withstand the common stresses of seasonal boat use, including trailering, beaching, and launching, without prematurely losing its antifouling effectiveness. It also forms a slick, smooth film on the hull surface that helps maintain top hull speed rather than building up a rough, chalky residue over time. Hydrocoat Blue is supplied in liquid form in a quart size, with one quart sized to cover the area typical of multi-season protection needs. It is intended for application to underwater boat surfaces in outdoor marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1124008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrocoat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ablative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quart (1 Count)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Area painted by a quart for multi-season protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Underwater boat surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor\/Outdoor Usage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eco friendly, low odor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.88 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725469019744\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Pettit Hydrocoat Blue used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Hydrocoat Blue (part number 1124008) is a water-based ablative antifouling paint applied to underwater boat hull surfaces to prevent marine growth over multiple boating seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Hydrocoat Blue water-based or solvent-based?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrocoat Blue is a water-based antifouling paint, which is why it produces minimal odor during application and cleans up with soap and water rather than solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e This quart of Pettit Hydrocoat (part number 1124008) is blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much area does one quart cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e One quart of Hydrocoat Blue is sized to cover the area needed for multi-season antifouling protection on a hull; exact coverage will vary with hull size and number of coats applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Hydrocoat Blue withstand trailering and beaching?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Hydrocoat Blue is formulated to withstand trailering, beaching, and launching without losing its antifouling protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 'ablative' mean for this antifouling paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e An ablative paint like Hydrocoat Blue wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, continuously exposing a fresh layer of antifouling protection and reducing the sanding needed before repainting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean up after applying Hydrocoat Blue?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because Pettit Hydrocoat Blue is water-based, clean-up of brushes, rollers, and equipment can be done with soap and water instead of chemical solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Hydrocoat Blue affect hull speed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrocoat Blue creates a slick film on the hull surface that is designed to help maintain top hull speed as the paint wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat form does this product come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Hydrocoat (part number 1124008) is supplied as a liquid paint in a quart-size container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this paint suitable for indoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Hydrocoat Blue is intended for outdoor use on underwater boat hull surfaces in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Hydrocoat Blue have a strong paint odor?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, one of the benefits of this water-based formula is a low odor during application compared to traditional solvent-based antifouling paints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pettit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991654543579,"sku":"PET-1240Q","price":103.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41QyCfzzo4L.jpg?v=1784509282","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/pettit-hydrocoat-water-based-ablative-antifouling-bottom-paint-quart-blue-mpn-1124008","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
