As I recall, the automotive counterpart in the old days was Imron. A pro is definitely needed.
Sent from my iPhone 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

Awlcraft 3000 is Azko Nobel latest paint. It can be repaired. The factory rep recommended it over Awlgrip even for professional use.
Absolutely correct. Awlgrip works well and preparations is the key. I did Nina in the same fashion. If youre on Instagram my ID is: nina1980cc I documented the bottom job and hull at the same time. Roll n tip is an art.

I’d say paint is your best choice. If you’re a DIY-er, then Awl Grip is very easy to work with. It’s all about the prep, then you can roll and tip and it will look sprayed from 6’ away. Andy Janet, Hi, I know your dilemma. I have a 30 C&C, Flag Blue hull, with years of Polyglow on it. When I bought the boat, the gelcoat was near "dead", and PolyGlow did bring it back. That said, a good paint job in my area starts at $600 to$700 a foot, and while I am tempted to attempt DIY painting, the fact that I have no climate control capability keeps me using Poly. Sorry I don't have better info for you. Good Luck! Pete W. Siren Song C&C 30 II Irvington, Va.

It’s had Polyglow coatings that have been stripped off (with floor stripper) and reapplied in the past. Any suggestions going forward? Strip again? Something else? TIA.
