Its self-polishing surface resists build-up over the season and can be burnished to a porcelain-like racing finish, making it a strong choice for boaters who want both long-term protection and a smooth, fast hull. The formula uses dual-biocide technology, pairing 25% cuprous thiocyanate to fight barnacles and hard growth with zinc pyrithione to resist slime and soft growth, delivering multi-season protection against aggressive fouling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a hard, smooth-surface paint, this Vivid formula withstands trailering and can be hauled and relaunched without repainting, which suits boats that are trailered or stored on a rack between uses rather than left in the water year-round. It is safe for use on properly primed aluminum hulls and outdrives. The paint is TBT-free and formulated to comply with 330 g\/L maximum VOC regulations, and it can be applied by brush, roller (3\/16 inch nap or less), or spray, giving installers flexibility depending on the size of the job and the finish desired. Full cure time is 24 hours. This listing is for the Red color option in a gallon container; Pettit's Vivid line is also offered in other base and mixed colors for boaters who want to match or customize their hull color.\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 1166106\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 Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid hard\/ablative antifouling bottom paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiocide Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-biocide -
