Default WHO IS USING PETTIT VIVID GREEN?? NEED PICS ASAP

I would like to put Pettit Vivid Green on my Pursuit but I am concerned that the green vivid is not dark enough. Has anyone got pics of the actual green vivid on a boat. If so, I would love the pics.

here is the color they show on their site. To me it does not seem dark enough.



Thanks,

Scott

I recently had it put on my 21 Wellcraft CC. It is bright, I will say that. It has been on only a few weeks and after some use is starting to dull just a bit which is good. Email me at kapdan@cox.net and I will try to get some pix in a day or so.

I just painted my black with MICRON. I saw the vivid green and it really didn't match well with the standard Pursuit dark green. I keep mine in the water and I think the black looks great.

Ya, the vivid does not really match the green on the boat. It does not appear dark enough. So did you go with the micron csc?

The shot from the web site depicts it lighter than it actually is. There is also more of a forest green color they get by mixing 4 parts blue to 1 part yellow. You can get a Vivid color chart from Pettit 800-221-4646. This picture is closer:

Yes - I used the micron CSC extra. It took about 1 & 2/3 gallons for two coats.
