Pettit Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier 1792 is specifically designed to be used on bare metals such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron, copper, bronze, galvanized steel and lead, both above or below the waterline. Zinc Coat forms an excellent adhesive bond to underwater metals and running gear and inhibits corrosion on these surfaces. Properly applied, Pettit Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier yields a smooth, hard surface that self-cleans under way.
Do not apply anti-fouling paint over Zinc Coat. For metal above the waterline apply one (1) coat of Pettit 6627 Tie-Coat Primer after the Zinc Coat has dried for 2 hours. Follow with two (2) coats of Pettit Easypoxy Enamel.
The dried film of Zinc Coat contains 93 percent pure zinc.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Shake can vigorously for two minutes after mixing balls begin to rattle. Shake often during use. Hold can upright 12 to 16 inches from the surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface and in motion
while spraying. Applying in thin coats. Allow no more than 5 minutes between two or three thin coats, otherwise allow to dry one hour before
applying additional coats.
When finished spraying, clear spray valve by turning can upside down and spraying until no more paint comes out. If valve clogs, twist and pull off spray tip and rinse it in a solvent such as mineral spirits. Do not stick a pin or other object in the stem.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all paint from underwater metals and running gear by sanding, scraping, sandblasting or by using a paint and varnish remover. Once back
to bare, clean metal wipe the surface with Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner and let dry. For application to metals above the waterline remove all paint
and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Clean surface with Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner and let dry.

2012-05-02DAVE PELKEY: Seemed to work great for me
I forgot to treat the running gear when I put in so only had 3 months of service but worked well for that time
2012-05-02DAVE PELKEY: The finish is flat gray. I used on running gear so color was not an issue
2012-05-02John Latimer: No. It is 93% pure Zinc when dried, with Toluene Xylene aerosol propellants that evaportate when applied. The instructions call for a Petit tie coat primer and then Petit easypoxy enamel for metal surfaces above the waterline.

Comments about Pettit Z-Spar Pettit Zinc Coat Barnacle Barrier:
Used this paint for the first time last season because my prop was perpetually fouled at haul out. Had previously used ablative bottom paint. Application was easy and fast (<5 minutes) once I got down to bare metal. Be sure to not apply too much. As a test I never cleaned the prop during a long sailing season. It came out with essentially no growth and none of the paint was worn off. What growth was there I could flick off with my fingernail, leaving the paint intact. Preparing for this season will probably require a little more elbow grease than before, but it's worth it. For me, one can will last several seasons.
