This White gallon is built on Pettit's hybrid ablative technology, which combines a thin-film application with a self-polishing surface that wears away gradually as the boat moves through the water, reducing paint build-up over repeated seasons of use. Because the coating sheds evenly rather than caking on in layers, boats coated with Vivid can typically be hauled out and re-launched without a full repaint, making it a practical choice for owners who haul and store their boats between seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVivid is well suited to racing boats, trailered boats, and rack-stored boats where a clean, consistent bottom finish matters and where repeated haul-and-relaunch cycles would otherwise wear down a harder coating unevenly. It produces a true, bright white finish with a gloss finish type. The formula is safe for use on properly primed aluminum surfaces in addition to standard fiberglass and other conventional hull materials. For application, Pettit recommends thinning with its 120 brushing thinner or 121 spraying thinner, each sold separately, depending on the application method.\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 1116106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 Fluid Ounces (Pack of 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ablative Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 square feet per gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 725469012868\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard Bottom Paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and size does Pettit Vivid part number 1116106 come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 1116106 is Pettit Paint Vivid antifouling bottom paint in White, packaged in a 1 gallon (128 fluid ounce) container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an ablative or hard bottom paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Vivid is an ablative marine paint that uses a thin-film, self-polishing surface that wears away gradually with use, rather than building up in hard layers over multiple coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Pettit Vivid be used on an aluminum hull?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Pettit Vivid is safe for use on properly primed aluminum surfaces in addition to standard hull materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much bottom area will one gallon of Vivid cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e One gallon of Pettit Vivid covers approximately 400 square feet, based on the manufacturer's stated coverage rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to repaint every season?\u003c\/strong\u003e Boats coated with Pettit Vivid can typically be hauled and re-launched without repainting each season, thanks to its thin ablative, self-polishing formula that limits paint build-up over multiple haul cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Vivid different from a standard single-biocide antifouling paint?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit Vivid uses dual biocides, which is intended to provide stronger multi-season fouling protection compared to a single-biocide formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Vivid a good choice for a trailered or rack-stored boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Pettit Vivid's hybrid ablative technology is designed to hold up well for racing, trailering, and rack-stored boats where the boat is frequently hauled out and relaunched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thinner should be used with Pettit Vivid?\u003c\/strong\u003e Pettit recommends its 120 brushing thinner for brush application or 121 spraying thinner for spray application of Vivid;
