Q: null I have an Albury 20 center console that is in the lift when not in use. It came from the Bahamas so it had bottom paint on. Its not been touched in 10 years. I am looking for a hard finish that will hold up on the lift and when I trailer, preferably a hard surface. Which of your fine paints to you recommend. Better if its availible in Ice Blue of White. Thanks, Kenny

Q: null I have coated my 57 Higgins with this product and I would like to know if it is possible to coat the copper with a clear and what product do I use and what prep do I need to do? Are there and instructions for polishing the finish?
6 years ago3 Answers
A: You would have to reach directly out to Pettit on this question. Normally, any clear coats that can endure time below the water line that can be polished to a smooth finish are of the 2-component nature, which probably does not work over this one-part bottom paint. They may have something in mind for you. As far as polishing this product, many people will wet sand to a very high grit. You may be able to try and test in a small spot different polishing methods that people have done to see what you like the best.

Q: null We have a 1965 37' Chris Constellation. Should we use Petit 1959 or Petit 1933 bottom paint? We want to keep it original.
10 years ago3 Answers
A: I'm no expert but I have used both products. I have a 1955 all-wood freshwater boat. Petit 1959 is my choice. It makes for a harder/faster bottom. Make sure your boat is well prepped; it will not adhere well to any old painted areas.

Q: null Can I paint enamal paint over hard antifouling?
11 years ago3 Answers
A: I would never put the copper bronze enamel over any antifouling sub surface. The purpose of the antifouling is to resist everything from attaching to the surface. By the way, the copper bronze enamel is a great product, but must be applied with great care. The surface must be super clean before you start and remain super clean as well as the air as you apply the copper bronze with a clean roller. The copper in the bronze enamel must be mixed often. If the finished surface is speckled after it dries, it probably is due to lack of cleanliness.

Q: null Hi, Can this paint be applied over any previous painted bottom surface? Thanks!

A: Can't give an answer to this question. I use this paint on a 1949 chriscraft sportsman. It has always had Cabot hard racing bronze applied to the bottom as it was in waters with heavy algae growth. It does however stick tenaciously to my painted garage floor. Jim O

Q: null What is the drying time for this?
11 years ago6 Answers
A: My purchase of this product was several years ago, so I don't recall any specifics about drying time, only that it wasn't a problem. What I do remember is that the last time I ordered this product, there was none in stock, and the next run was too late for the season. So one of your good customer service people explained a competitor's product which was available at half the price, and I found it to be the best bottom paint I ever bought. You shipt it to me on 8/19/11.
