{"product_id":"pettit-vivid-black-hybrid-antifouling-bottom-paint-gallon-mpn-1186106","title":"Pettit Paint Vivid Black Hard Bottom Antifouling Paint, 1 Gallon","description":"\u003cp\u003ePettit 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 1186106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard Bottom Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Gallon (128 Fluid Ounces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Uses For Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e Racing, Trailering, Rack-Stored Boats\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 Waterproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725469003149\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of antifouling paint is Pettit Vivid Black?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Vivid Black is a hard bottom antifouling paint that uses dual-biocide technology and a hybrid formula, giving it both a hard finish and a thin, self-polishing surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Pettit Vivid Black safe to use on an aluminum hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Vivid Black is formulated safe for use on properly primed aluminum hulls, in addition to other common hull surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size can does Pettit Vivid Black come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Paint 1186106 Vivid Black is supplied in a 1 gallon can, equal to 128 fluid ounces, weighing 16 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a boat be relaunched without repainting after hauling?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, one of the benefits of Pettit Vivid Black's hybrid technology is that a boat can be hauled and relaunched without needing to repaint the bottom first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Pettit Vivid Black need to be thinned before application?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit 120 brushing thinner or 121 spraying thinner can be used with Vivid Black depending on the application method; both are sold separately from the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the finish and color of this paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid Black is a true black paint with a gloss finish, part number 1186106.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does Vivid Black resist paint film buildup?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its thin application and self-polishing surface reduce buildup compared to paints that require a fresh full coat every season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Pettit Vivid Black suited to racing sailboats and powerboats?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is specifically formulated for racing use as well as trailered and rack-stored boats, per its listed specific uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many biocides does Pettit Vivid Black contain?\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid Black uses a dual-biocide formula, which offers multi-season antifouling protection in a single application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Pettit Vivid Black waterproof once cured?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the cured Vivid Black coating (part number 1186106) is rated waterproof for underwater hull use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat form does Pettit Vivid Black paint come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is supplied as a liquid coating in a can, ready to apply by brush or spray with the appropriate Pettit thinner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pettit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991667683547,"sku":"PET-1861G","price":417.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/316nZqXNo6L_d3c1bfd0-2525-48df-8c6c-cd96a4f6dff5.jpg?v=1784509663","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/pettit-vivid-black-hybrid-antifouling-bottom-paint-gallon-mpn-1186106","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
