How Much Pettit Odyssey Triton Do I Need for My Boat?

Refer to the chart below to calculate how much Odyssey Triton paint you will need for your boat.

1. 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
2. Divide that number (your square foot total) by the amount of coverage Odyssey Triton 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 Odyssey Triton 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 Odyssey Triton Bottom Paint

• Application Data Method: Brush, Roller, or Airless or Conventional Sprayer
• Number of Coats: 2-3
• Dry Film Thickness Per Coat: 2 Mils dry
• Coverage: 400 sq²/gallon
• Application Temp: 50° F Min / 90°F Max
• Thinner: Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner. Do not thin more than 10% (12 ounces per Gallon)
• Dry Times: Minimum recoat time is 4 hours @ 70°F. Minimum time between final coat and launching is 16 hours. Under cold or damp conditions increase dry times by 50%.

Previously Painted Surfaces:

• If the previous coating is in good condition thoroughly sand with 80-grit sandpaper, then clean with the 120 Brushing Thinner solvent to remove residue. Apply two finish coats of the Odyssey Triton.
• If the previous coating is soft or in poor condition remove to the bare surface by sanding or using a paint or varnish remover.

Bare Fiberglass:

All bare fiberglass, regardless of age, should be thoroughly cleaned with 92 Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep or de-waxed several times with Pettit D-95 Dewaxer or 120 Brushing Thinner. Sand thoroughly with 80 grit sandpaper to a dull, frosty finish and rewash the sanded surface with 185 Ablative Thinner or 120 Brushing Thinner to remove sanding residue. Then apply two or three coats of the Odyssey Triton following application instructions.

• To eliminate the sanding operation, prep the surface with 92 Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep or wash the fiberglass three times using Pettit 95 Dewaxer only. Then apply one thin coat of Pettit 6998 Skip-Sand Primer or 6999 Sandless Primer. Use a 3/16” or less nap when applying by roller. Consult the primer label for complete application and antifouling top coating instructions. Apply two or three coats of Odyssey Triton.

Bare Aluminum:

• Abrade the surface to clean, bright metal by sanding, wire-brushing, or sandblasting. Blow off or vacuum sanding residue so that surface is clean and dry.
• Then immediately apply two coats of Pettit Aluma Protect 4400/4401 Aluminum Epoxy Primer. Let dry for two hours and then apply two coats of Pettit Protect Epoxy Primer 4700/4701 while following instructions.
• After the second coat of Pettit Protect wait 5-8 hours (no more or less) and apply the first coat of Odyssey Triton. Follow up with one or two additional coats of Odyssey Triton.

Underwater Metal Parts:

• Apply Pettit Protect 4700/4701. Follow surface preparation instructions and priming underwater metal running gear specification via Pettit Protect label or product data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pettit Odyssey Triton Ablative Antifouling Paint used for?

Pettit Odyssey Triton Ablative Antifouling Paint is designed to provide multi-season antifouling protection against marine growth. Its tri-biocide formulation combines Copper Thiocyanate, Zinc Pyrithione, and ECONEA for protection in harsh marine environments while helping prevent coating buildup and keeping underwater surfaces smooth.

How many coats of Pettit Odyssey Triton should I apply?

Apply a minimum of two coats per season. The application instructions specify two to three coats, with each coat applied to a recommended dry film thickness of 2 mils. When applying over previously painted surfaces in good condition, two finish coats are specified.

How much Pettit Odyssey Triton do I need for my boat?

Pettit Odyssey Triton covers approximately 400 square feet per gallon at a 2-mil thickness. To estimate hull area, multiply the boat's length by its beam and then multiply by 0.85. Divide the resulting square footage by 400 to estimate the amount needed for one coat, then account for the recommended number of coats.

How do I apply Pettit Odyssey Triton antifouling paint?

Pettit Odyssey Triton can be applied by brush, roller, airless sprayer, or conventional sprayer. Apply at temperatures between 50°F and 90°F. When thinning is necessary, use Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner and do not exceed 10% by volume. At 70°F, allow at least four hours between coats and at least 16 hours before launching.

Can Pettit Odyssey Triton be applied over existing bottom paint?

Yes. If the existing coating is in good condition, thoroughly sand it with 80-grit sandpaper, clean the residue with 120 Brushing Thinner, and apply two finish coats of Odyssey Triton. Soft or poorly adhered previous coatings should be removed to the bare surface before proceeding with the appropriate application system.

Can Pettit Odyssey Triton be used on bare fiberglass or aluminum?

Yes, but the preparation system differs by substrate. Bare fiberglass should be thoroughly cleaned and sanded before applying two or three coats, or prepared with an appropriate Pettit primer for a no-sand system. Bare aluminum requires abrasion followed by Pettit Aluma Protect 4400/4401 and Pettit Protect 4700/4701 before applying Odyssey Triton.
