Refer to the chart below to calculate how much Hydrocoat paint you will need for your boat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalculate the square footage of the hull to be painted - multiply the length of the hull by the beam then multiply that total by .85\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivide that number (your square foot total) by the amount of coverage Hydrocoat provides. (490 square feet per gallon). This will give you a one-coat total.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExample: If your boat has a length of 28', and a beam of 8.5', you will multiply 28 x 8.5 x .85 to get your total square footage. The total square footage for this boat is 202.3 square feet. A gallon of Hydrocoat has a coverage of 490 square feet per gallon for one coat, so one gallon will be enough for two coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow To Apply Pettit Hydrocoat Antifouling Bottom Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePettit Hydrocoat is easily applied using a brush, roller, or sprayer. For rollers, use a high-quality short nap (maximum 3\/16\" nap) roller cover. Apply using thin coats, as over-application will cause surface imperfections and shorter wear. Before applying, mix the paint thoroughly. Clean and properly prepare surfaces prior to painting. TIP: For the smoothest possible finish: thin the paint 5-10% with clean fresh water. Wet the surface with fresh water. This will provide a truer color and smoother finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication Methods: Brush, Roller, Airless or Conventional Spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumber of Coats: 2 minimum with an additional coat at the waterline recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry Film Thickness: 1.5 mils (3.75 wet mils)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoverage: 490 sq. ft\/gal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication Temp: 50°F Min. \/ 90°F Max.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThinner: Clean, fresh water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemp\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Touch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Recoat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Launch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e90°F\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/4 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1-1\/2 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e70°F\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/2 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e50°F\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 HR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*The above dry times are…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pettit Paint","offers":[{"title":"1124008","offer_id":50581926478082,"sku":"PET-1240Q","price":126.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1184006","offer_id":50581926510850,"sku":"PET-1840G","price":320.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":50581926543618,"sku":"PET-1240G","price":320.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Quart","offer_id":50581926576386,"sku":"PET-1840Q","price":126.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3024\/2562\/files\/pettit_hydrocoat_photo__09101.1753840701_8c992991-1333-4079-b5e1-7fac87b30a25.webp?v=1791079943","url":"https:\/\/allmarineworld.com\/products\/pettit-hydrocoat-ablative-antifouling-paint","provider":"All Marine World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
