Hi Joel- Have you actually tried to repair Awlcraft paint? I have some dings I was thinking to try to repair and it did not look easy to do. It turns out that Awlgrip sells a repair kit for both Awlcraft (the paint is Awlcraft 2000) and Awlgrip and they no longer distinguish them in terms of repairability. They told me they are all repairable, but that it was not a DIY job. They don't have any repair guidance on their web site and the tech person recommended hiring a professional, especially for colored paint like I have. Dave
