Product Overview

VC 17M BLACK V103UKIT/QTUS

Maximize your speed and minimize drag with Interlux Paint's VC 17M BLACK V103UKIT/QTUS, a premium black antifouling bottom paint specifically designed for racing sailboats and high-speed powerboats. This single-season, thin-film coating incorporates slick PTFE technology (similar to Teflon®) for a super-smooth, low-friction finish that enhances performance and fuel efficiency. Ideal for both fresh and low-fouling salt water, VC 17m offers exceptional protection against hard growth, including zebra mussels, without adding unnecessary weight to your hull.
