Pettit vivid white bottom paint

[captnfox]

Has anyone used this paint and could you let me know how dirty it looks after sitting in the saltwater-thanks

i have used it and it stays bright white. Might need a light scrub a few times in the summer.

Will look like a coffee stain! At least the two boats that are near me are after 1 month in the water.

Mine looked like a freakin poorly maintained aquarium -- grass, slime, barnacles.... I kept expecting to find that little plastic deep-sea-diver man stuck to the side. And I cleaned it every two weeks. Then I switched to black paint.

I have been in for 3 months and it looks fine.

I've used it for the past two seasons on my Seacraft. Looks great early in the season but does turn a little yellow/light brown after a while. As mentioned above, you can wipe it down and that will bring it back towards white again. Keep in mind the only part that turns 'brown' is under water.

If you use your boat a lot that may help too.

had it for a whole year. live in a bad growth type place. need to haul once a month and power spray. gets a bit coffee colored, but comes off with power spray. for white paint, it does real well. putting it on my new boat, so I must like it!

Having to haul the boat once a month to power-wash,doesn't that defeat the purpose of having antifouling paint?

I guess it depends on how much debris hangs out at the marina but if it cleans up good i might use it -the boat is a 23 contender and i would use it much more if it was in the water than on dry dock
