Pettit Black Widow is a premium, hard racing antifouling bottom paint engineered for boat owners who demand maximum speed, an exceptionally smooth finish, and reliable multi-season antifouling protection.
Designed specifically for high-performance applications, Black Widow produces an ultra-smooth, hard and burnishable surface that can be polished to a metallic, mirror-like “gun-metal” finish. This exceptionally slick surface helps minimize underwater drag, making Black Widow an outstanding choice for racing sailboats, high-performance powerboats, and other vessels where speed and efficiency are a priority.
Black Widow combines powerful dual-biocide antifouling protection with four specialized slickening agents — Molybdenum Disulfide, PTFE, Graphite and Silicon — to provide both excellent fouling protection and an extremely low-friction underwater surface.

One of Black Widow's most distinctive characteristics is its ability to be burnished after application.
When properly applied and burnished, the coating develops an exceptionally smooth metallic gun-metal appearance. This creates the slick racing surface for which Black Widow was specifically developed.
For competition and performance applications, Pettit's recommended application and burnishing procedures should be followed to achieve the optimum racing finish.
Black Widow isn't simply another black antifouling bottom paint. It is specifically engineered for performance and speed.
Its combination of a hard racing surface, dual-biocide antifouling protection and four slickening agents makes it particularly well suited for boat owners looking to achieve an exceptionally smooth underwater hull while still maintaining serious antifouling protection.
