Oct. 27, 2006 By Press Release
After an 8-month, in-water test, Powerboat Reports magazine recently named Pettit Alumacoat SR as the best outdrive antifouling paint for aluminum. Of all the antifouling paints tested, Alumacoat SR was most effective at fighting barnacles.

Using unique controlled erosion with the latest biocide technology, Alumacoat SR minimizes coating buildup and keeps underwater surfaces smooth and clean. The non-oxidizing formulation delivers protection against slime, algae, barnacles and other marine fouling.

The first metal-free paint to be available nationwide, Alumacoat SR contains no tin or copper. EPA approved, it can be safely used in fresh and saltwater on all aluminum hulls, outdrives and outboards. The antifouling paint can be hauled and relaunched without needing to recoat.

Offered in quarts and gallons, Pettit Marine Paint Alumacoat SR can be applied by roller or brush. Available in blue, black, white and red, its suggested retail price is $199.95 per gallon.

Excellent for covering smaller areas, Alumaspray Plus is perfect for outdrives and outboard engines. Its aerosol formulation makes it easy to thoroughly reach tight spaces. At $34.95 per can, Pettit Alumaspray Plus comes in black or gray.
