Nothing left after 10 months
First summer in Narragansett was Ok. After being stored in brackish Florida river (zero growth) there was zero antifouling effect when returning to Narraganset the 2nd season. We never had this problem with other paints from Pettit.

Satisfied customer
Arrived earlier than expected and was very satisfied with the paints application. Looks excellent and color as Id hoped. The only issue is it was hard to mix and I punctured the container using the auger attachment on my drill and loss some paint I really could've used.

Too soon to evaluate its effectiveness. Color mixing was very difficult. No VOCs as advertised

How do I get my mail-in rebate for the Hydrocoat bottom paint? I clicked the links but nothing comes up. Plus, I got both a gallon and a quart. Do I get two rebates?
You only get the rebate for gallon size of Hydrocoat.
