Default Pettit Vivid Antifouling

Has anyone had experience with a brighter color of this antifouling paint? I keep my boat in a slip so I paint my bottom yearly, and have always just used black. Its always kind of bugged me when I see the boat on plane in pics or whatever. I am wondering what this Pettit Vivid would look like if I painted the bottom white with it. Using white antifouling paint seems like it would still show some scum, but I guess I'm not sure. Anyone had any experience?

Thanks!
Kris

I have it on mine and i docked it all summer. It still gets a little scummy but cleans off easy and I think it don't look neer as bad as bottom paint.

I too use Pettit Vivid Antifouling shown here 2 yr's old with a dirty scumline on my C.C. after two weeks of not scrubbing it, but it does clean off nicely with a medium stiff brush on a pole which I wish I had done before taking this photo.

To apply
Use a sponge roller to apply for a smooth brush free appearance, and only use a brush to cut into those tight corner edges.
Please Note:
Sorry for some reason I don't see the attachment button to up load the pic's I wanted to show, I guess its because i'm not a paying member?
