FWIW, my Flexofold prop is painted with a product used by most of the commercial fishermen in Eastern NC called Propspeed.
I don’t know anything about Pettit 1792. But past efforts to use bottom paint on a prop have not been very useful. The bottom paint tends to sluff off pretty quickly, probably due to cavitation.

Hello all, We are getting the bottom done on our 1994 C&C 37/40+, and at that time, I am changing a rather old 3-blade prop in not the best condition to a 3 blade Flexofold. The yard recommends applying Pettit 1792 to the running gear. When I asked Flexofold about this, they said to not paint it for the first year, and see how it progresses. The only thing is, I don't intend on pulling the boat again until it needs a new bottom job. Do any of you folks in salt water have Flexofolds (or feathering props for that matter), and you you recommend applying the Pettit 1792? Thanks in advance for your insights Bruce Whitmore
