Pettit Vivid is a high-performance, multi-season antifouling bottom paint that combines the benefits of both ablative and hard antifouling technologies. Its unique hybrid formulation provides excellent protection against marine fouling while producing a hard, smooth surface that can be burnished for a high-performance racing finish.
Vivid is especially well suited for boat owners looking for a clean, true white bottom paint without sacrificing antifouling performance. Its dual-biocide formulation provides reliable multi-season protection, while the hard, durable finish withstands trailering, hauling, and repeated launching.
When used with the recommended primer system, Pettit Vivid can also be safely applied to aluminum hulls and outdrives, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of vessels.
