• How Much Pettit Odyssey HD Do I Need for My Boat? Refer to the chart below to calculate how much Odyssey paint you will need for your boat.

Calculate the square footage of the hull to be painted - multiply the length of the hull by the beam then multiply that total by .85

Divide that number (your square foot total) by the amount of coverage Odyssey HD provides. (475 square foot per gallon). This will give you a one-coat total.

Example: 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 Odyssey HD has a coverage of 475 square feet per gallon for one coat, so one gallon will be enough for two coats.

How to Apply Pettit Odyssey HD Bottom Paint

Odyssey HD is easily applied by brush, roller, or spray. When rolling, use only a high-quality roller cover. Prior to application, it is necessary to thoroughly mix the paint before using. Odyssey HD contains cuprous oxide, so there is a tendency for settling to occur. Shake the can of paint on a mechanical paint shaker, a wooden paddle, or an electric drill mixer. Before using, check the sides and bottom of can to ensure all the pigment has been mixed in. Adhere to all application instructions to obtain optimum performance. If spraying, make sure not to thin more than 10% or inadequate paint film thickness will occur.
