• How Much Pettit Trinidad HD Do I Need for My Boat? Refer to the chart below to calculate how much Trinidad HD 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 Trinidad HD provides. (450 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 Trinidad HD has a coverage of 450 square feet per gallon for one coat, so one gallon will be enough for two coats.

How to Apply Pettit Trinidad HD Bottom Paint

Pettit Trinidad HD Paint is easily applied by brush, roller, or spray. When rolling, use only a high-quality short nap (maximum 1/4" nap) roller cover. Over-application will virtually assure inadequate coating performance. Mix paint thoroughly to ensure ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the can. Follow all surface preparation instructions to ensure proper coating performance. Trinidad HD should not be applied to aluminum hulls or outdrives.
