Its dual-biocide formula delivers multi-season protection against aggressive fouling and slime, making it a strong choice for boats that stay in the water for extended periods or across multiple seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hard, smooth surface resists build-up and can be burnished to a high-performance, porcelain-like racing finish for owners who want reduced drag and a polished appearance. Because Vivid is a hybrid coating, boats can be hauled and relaunched without repainting, and the paint holds up well to trailering, making it suitable for both in-water and trailered or rack-stored boats. Vivid is safe for use on properly primed aluminum, so it can be used on aluminum-hulled boats as well as fiberglass hulls when the correct primer has been applied first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the Red color in a quart size. Vivid is also available in other base colors including blue, white, and yellow, with black and additional red available as mixed colors. For application, Pettit's 120 brushing thinner or 121 spraying thinner (sold separately) can be used to thin the coating for brushing or spraying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1166108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid ablative\/hard antifouling bottom paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiocide Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-biocide, multi-season protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-polishing;
