Gear & Gizmos: Four Must-Haves for Every Angler

June 10, 2020 By InTheBite Editor

The Latest and Greatest from Pettit Paint

The latest offerings from Pettit—Odyssey HD and Trinidad HD multi-season bottom paints— are set to forever change how owners and captains view paint. Just how fundamental is the change? Pettit believes that the time has come for multi-year paints to be covered by a multi-year warranty. Pettit stands behind each product to the tune of an 18-month limited warranty against hard growth.

Odyssey HD multi-season antifouling combines controlled polishing ablative technology with a high copper content to provide a paint film strong enough to handle the tough marine environment from coast to coast. Odyssey HD is compatible over most finishes. It is V.O.C. compliant in all states and will not build up over time leaving running surfaces smooth and clean. Odyssey HD’s copolymer resins withstand hauling and relaunching without losing effectiveness.

Trinidad HD provides excellent, long lasting protection even under the toughest antifouling conditions. Its durable, hard and modified epoxy finish has excellent adhesion, and is highly abrasion resistant. Trinidad HD provides dependable in-water antifouling protection while meeting the 330 grams per liter V.O.C. regulations. It does not require movement and works equally as well at the dock or underway. Trinidad HD is compatible over most hard antifouling finishes.

Boat yard managers who have seen the paints in action are further impressed by the dry times. Rapid dry times, and the ability to apply multiple paints in the same day, saves time and money for yard operators and captains alike. Both of these bottom paints focus heavily on boatyard efficiency. Both products are formulated to dry significantly faster, offer increased coverage, and reduce odor for a more applicator friendly application. Trinidad HD and Odyssey HD both dry five times faster than our competition at an air temperature of 70 degrees.

Trinidad HD is available in black, blue and red. Odyssey HD is available in black, blue, red and green after December 1st 2020. Application methods include rush, roller, or spray. For complete preparation and usage instructions visit Pettit Marine Paint online at www.pettitpaint.com/HD.
