The ultimate frustration.
I bought the wrong color bottom paint from Jamestown Distributors. I have a gallon of NEW, opened ONLY once, and untouched Pettit Vivid Antifouling paint in red. It's really red. I don't know what I was thinking. I was waffling between this and Interlux's deeper red and bought this one because it was $10 cheaper at the time. I simply won't look good with the dark navy on our topsides.

So, Ive ordered the paint I should have bought the first time and I'd like to sell this one.
I'd ship it out tomorrow for $80 plus shipping. If you have any questions, or want to see pictures, feel free to email me at joshmccullock (at) gmail dot com. Name a fair price and we'll make a deal. Oh yea, I take credit cards too. Perk of self employment!

Thanks.
to life!

Use the red for your bottom coat. Then put your desired color on top. That will give you an easy-to-see marker when the top coat gets thin. Others on this forum have recommended this procedure.

Will it matter if they are different brands? The color I really want is from Interlux Bottomkote.

Not sure. I would call the people at Interlux. What I do know is that you cannot put a hard finish paint on top of an ablative paint.

You can check Interlux's site--they have compatibility charts. However, be aware that Petit's Vivid colors are indeed <i>vivid</i>--that's the point. Ordinary "red" is rust--Vivid red is RED. However, I wouldn't recommend dark red on bright red as a "signal coat" strategy... The colors change and fade, and red-on-red might not be very distinguishable. Sarge's bottom is (rusty) red, and her signal color is black.
