Pettit Paint: Marine Wood Finishing Excellence
For over a century, Pettit Paint has been the trusted choice of marine industry professionals seeking uncompromising protection for brightwork and wooden boat components. Their wood sealers & varnishes represent a complete system engineered specifically for the demanding marine environment, where wood finishes must withstand UV radiation, salt spray, temperature fluctuations, and constant moisture exposure.
The Z-Spar Captain's Varnish Legacy
Pettit's Z-Spar Captain's Varnish is highly regarded for its reliable service, versatile application, outstanding gloss retention, and tough yet flexible durability. The product's formulation combines phenolic and alkyd resins blended with tung and linseed oils to create a finish that marine professionals have trusted for generations. Captain's is considered by its many users to be the most durable varnish ever offered to the boating trade. This traditional warm amber finish enhances the natural beauty of teak, mahogany, and other marine woods while providing critical ultraviolet absorbers and filters to protect against sun damage.
Flagship High-Build Varnish Technology
Pettit's Flagship Varnish line takes UV protection to the next level, offering advanced shielding against the sun's damaging rays. The high-build formulation allows for efficient coverage and faster build-up of protective layers, making it ideal for restoration projects or creating deep, lustrous finishes on exterior brightwork. When paired with Pettit's 2018 EZ Wood Sealer, the Flagship system delivers professional results that stand up to years of marine service.
Complete Wood Finishing Systems
Pettit's EZ Wood Sealer is used to seal all types of raw wood prior to painting and varnishing, acting as a moisture barrier layer to prevent peeling and excessive absorption of vehicle from topside primers, paints, or varnishes. This phenolic resin-based sealer provides excellent penetration into raw wood for improved stability and moisture resistance, creating the ideal foundation for varnish topcoats. The complete Pettit system includes paste wood fillers for open-grained species, specialized thinners for optimal application, and both gloss and satin finish options to suit any aesthetic preference.
Why Marine Professionals Choose Pettit
What sets Pettit's wood finishing products apart is their specific engineering for marine conditions. Unlike generic wood varnishes designed for interior furniture or architectural millwork, Pettit formulations account for the flexibility needed to accommodate wood movement in humid environments, the UV filters essential for preventing finish degradation, and the moisture barrier properties required to protect wood from water intrusion. The brand's Captain's Satin Sheen Varnish and traditional gloss formulations give boat owners complete control over their desired appearance while maintaining the protective qualities that make these products indispensable for marine applications.
