Re: hull painting and prep
Ha Chuck
Awlgrip has a little booklet out that might help you. There are two different ways to paint a boat you can spray it, but be very careful the stuff can KILL you if you don’t use the proper air ventilation system or you can roll and tip with a brush the paint. I painted my boat with the roll and tip 2 ½ yrs ago and it came out very good and is not as dangerous to do it that way. I used a different two part epoxy paint (sterling paint) that has a little better properties in it for the roll and tip method. As for hull preparation not all prior paints will except Awlgrip over it. My boat had paint on it as well and I sanded it down to the gel-coat first. As for priming the boat first YES and as for sanding between coats if you roll and tip yes as for spraying no if you spray all the coats at one time.
