Axalta’s Imron® MS600™ Single Stage polyurethane topcoat
protects and beautifies Captain T.J. Ott’s 39-foot, Hot Tuna boat. The
boat is painted in a custom color aptly named Hot Tuna Blue. The
boat will be featured in next season’s episodes in winter 2017. Imron
MS600 is scientifically engineered to achieve long-lasting high gloss
appearance, performance, and corrosion protection specifically for the
marine segment. The durability and abrasion resistance of Axalta’s
marine coatings help ensure that fishing boats and yachts retain their
mirror-like finish longer.
“Hot Tuna perfectly showcases our Imron marine coatings,” said
Christopher Papa, Axalta Marketing Manager. “Axalta is committed to
delivering the industry’s best appearance and corrosion protection,
which combine to reflect the attributes that customers have come to
value in the Imron brand.”
Hot Tuna is the largest of six boats in the fleet featured on Wicked
Tuna. The fishermen launch from Gloucester, Massachusetts in summer
and the Outer Banks, North Carolina in winter, in search of Atlantic
bluefin tuna. The television show chronicles the teams as they compete
for their livelihood and bragging rights, and race to reel in “the big
one.”
