Paint

[ronc98]

I just finished m 197 c-26 refinish and I used awlgrip paint.   It is a two part LPU and is as hard as a rock.  I came very close to using brightside but since I have the boat completely torn apart and did not want to do this again for ALONG time I went with awlgrip. 

The secret is prep, with any paint if the boat is not perfect the problem area will show through.  Awlgrip is no different.  It is expensive and not the healthiest stuff in the world but with a little practice you can paint it yourself.  I never roller and tipped before this project, so I learned along the way.  It turned out amazing and you can not tell it was rolled it looks sprayed. 

Here is a link to some of the pictures before and after
