Vivid's attributes go far beyond its beautiful vibrant colors, for it also provides excellent multi-season, dual biocide antifouling protection under all conditions. Vivid's new hybrid technology incorporates all the benefits of both ablative and hard paints in one superior product. Its hard, smooth surface withstands trailering and is easily burnished to a high performance super-slick racing finish. Applied in thin coats using a 3/16" or less nap roller, Vivid resists build-up and can be hauled and launched without loss of protection. When used over the recommended priming system, Vivid can safely be used on aluminum hulls and outdrives. The perfect antifouling choice for any boat.

Refer to the color chart for mixing information.Why Pettit Vivid?Vivid antifouling paint is in a category of its own combining the best attributes of both hard and ablative technologies. Vivid works by leaching out the toxicants just as a traditional hard paint does, however, once the toxicant is gone, the paint film will break down in water and "powder off" exposing a new layer of toxicant. This self polishing surface resists build-up while it can be burnished to a porcelain-like racing finish. Vivid antifouling paint truly offers the best of both worlds.While hard racing finishes of the past tend to have little or no antifouling capabilities, Vivid provides hi

Did nothing to stop heavy growth. Doesn't clean easily. Pictures show bottom paint after 6 months.

I have been using this paint for 23 years on a boat that is in brackish water near Chesapeake Bay. It is in the water for six months of the year. I use an ugly soft ablative paint on the very bottom but use this brighter paint color on any visible surface exposed to light. I use white on the side up to water line and transom. I use black on the outdrive. The Vivid also protects against algae better than the softer ablative bottom paints.

It looked good after it was painted then two weeks in the water and it came out a brown color and it wouldn’t come off it was stained brown. This app won’t let me download a pic so I can’t show how horrible my vivid white paint job looks.

I have used this for years and will continue to use it. My wife wants the boat bottom the same color as the top. Case closed. When comparing to the coatings that others in the neighborhood use it is as good as any. As with any mottom paint you should put an extra coat just below the water line. That seems to be where the fuzzy stuff grows the fastest and it is also the part that comes out of the water when you are moving and does not get scrubbed by the water.PROS:Nice clean white color.Goes on like housepaint.Stores well.Works well.Stays on well.Can be left out of the water without damage.CONS:Costs moreSlow to dry. I find that 2 days are needed before I can put it back on the trailer or shift the blocks however you can reduce that to overnight by putting plastic wrap or wax paper on the blocks or skids. This can spare you the problem of having your trailer stuck to the bottom of the boat at the ramp.
