Vivid Free is a bright antifouling bottom paint that is TBT and copper free, yet resistant to slime, algae, barnacles and other marine foulants.
This environmentally friendly paint's formula leaves out the copper ingredient Cuprous Thiocyanate, and substitutes PTFE for slickness making it even safer for use on all aluminum than the original Vivid paint.
Vivid Free uses unique controlled erosion with the latest biocide technology to minimize coating build-up and keep underwater surfaces smooth and clean. Because of its formulation, Vivid Free can safely be used on all aluminum hulls, outdrives and outboard motors in fresh, salt, and brackish water. It may be hauled and relaunched without recoating.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Vivid Free may exhibit settling of pigment especially if the paint has been on the
shelf for several months. It is necessary to thoroughly mix the paint before using.
If possible, shake the can of paint on a mechanical paint shaker. Before using,
check the sides and bottom of the can to make sure all the pigment has been
mixed in. If mixing is going to be done with a wooden paddle or an electric drill
mixer, pour off half of the liquid from the top of the can into another can and then
properly mix in any settled pigment; then remix the two parts together thoroughly.
Adhere to all application instructions, precautions, conditions, and limitations to
obtain optimum performance. Refer to individual labels and tech sheets for
detailed instructions when using associated products, etc. Vivid Free is a high solids
product. Do not apply this paint in thick fi lms or in more than four coats as poor
adhesion may result. When applying by roller use a short nap (3/16 inch maximum)
roller cover. Product can be thinned up to 10% (12 ounces per gallon) without any
loss in performance. Do not thin beyond state compliance limits
SURFACE PREPARATION
Coating performance, in general, is proportional to the degree of surface
preparation. Follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts. Inadequate
preparation of surfaces will virtually assure inadequate coating performance.
MAINTENANCE
No antifouling paint can be effective under all conditions of exposure. Man
made pollution and natural occurrences can adversely affect antifouling paint
performance. Extreme hot and cold water temperatures, silt, dirt, oil, brackish
water and even electrolysis can ruin an antifouling paint. Therefore, we strongly
suggest that the bottom of the boat be checked regularly to make sure it is clean
and that no growth is occurring. Lightly scrub the bottom with a soft brush to
remove anything from the antifouling paint surface. Scrubbing is particularly
important with boats that are idle for extended periods of time. The coating is
most effective when the boat is used periodically.

This is an excellent anti-fouling paint to apply. I will be observing how well it holds up underwater in the coming years. It is very attractive and was easy to spray with my inexpensive HVLP gun.
