I've been using Pettit SR 21 or West Marine FW 21 (same thing). Just got two quarts of FW21 from WM online for $49.99 each, free shipping. Don't know how long the sale price is good. Regular price was $59.99 and the cheapest I've seen the Pettit was $69.99. Local WM store mgr. told me about the supply problem, said "once it's gone, it's gone". Was probably trying to get me to buy out his stock. I can't believe they're not going to replace it with something.

One-day sale on WestMarine paints
I thought you might be interested to know that Westmarine has a "Fantastic Friday" sale on their WM-branded paints today.
I've used Pettit Vivid the last 4 years, but want to change to a traditional ablative this year. I was thinking of Pettit Ultima SR-40, but Practical Sailor shows PCA Gold giving similar or better performance at the 20-month mark. So for $159 I think I'll give that a try this time.
