Pettit Paint Vivid Black Hard Bottom Antifouling Paint, 1 Gallon
Pettit Paint Vivid Black Hard Bottom Antifouling Paint, 1 Gallon
Pettit Paint Vivid Black is a hard bottom antifouling paint built on dual-biocide technology for multi-season protection against fouling growth. It uses a hybrid formula that combines the durability of a hard finish with a thin, self-polishing surface, so paint film does not build up the way it does with traditional coatings applied year after year. This makes it a strong choice for boats that are raced, trailered, or kept in rack storage, since the boat can be hauled and relaunched without needing to repaint before every outing.
The paint goes on in a thin application that helps keep the hull smooth and reduces drag from excess film buildup over repeated seasons. It is formulated safe for use on properly primed aluminum hulls in addition to fiberglass and other common hull materials. Vivid Black is supplied as a true black, gloss-finish liquid coating in a 1 gallon (128 fluid ounce) can. For thinning, Pettit 120 brushing thinner or 121 spraying thinner can be used, sold separately from the paint itself.
