Pettit Vivid Antifouling Bottom Paint, Yellow, Quart - Self-Polishing Hard Coating, Part 1146108
Pettit Vivid Antifouling Bottom Paint, Yellow, Quart - Self-Polishing Hard Coating, Part 1146108
Pettit Vivid is a self-polishing antifouling bottom paint that delivers dual-biocide, multi-season protection against aggressive fouling and slime. Its hybrid formulation combines the benefits of ablative and hard antifouling paints in a single coating: the surface wears smoothly like an ablative paint to expose fresh biocide over time, while remaining hard enough to withstand trailering and repeated haul-and-relaunch cycles without repainting. The finish can be burnished to a porcelain-like, high performance racing surface, making it a popular choice for owners who want both durable fouling protection and a smooth, fast bottom.
This listing is for the Yellow color (color code 1461) in a quart container. Pettit Vivid is part of the Vivid line, which offers some of the brightest, most vivid colors available in antifouling paint, including a true black and a true white. Vivid is safe for use on properly primed aluminum hulls, making it a versatile option across boat types. The self-polishing surface resists paint build-up over repeated seasons, so hulls stay smoother and easier to maintain than with traditional hard paints.
