Re: 20 Sceptre Restore update

I liked the Ice Blue. It was easy to maintain and got compliments every time I went out. I was going to go dark as well but the prep work has to be absolutely perfect because every imperfection shows in a dark color. I thought my prep work was good but I repaired a lot of spidercracks in the bow from hanging on davits for 6 years and thought they might still show thru. I'm glad I went with the light color. Also, If you are painting with AwlGrip, I've found that if you let each coat tack up 35 to 45 min, then there is a lot better chance of repairing a small sag or a run in the last coat. I had a small sag towards the stern that looked like a mini mountain range, but it was only in the last coat. I was able to sand it out with 800 and 1500 grit wet sand and buff out. I can't even tell where it was now.
