Default Re: Awl Grip vs ppg vs gel coat

RS , I have had a couple boats that I have awl gripped,both sprayed and rolled and tipped.The sprayed was a better job for me,not to mention though that I have seen some real artist with a roller and badger brush.But,you may consider Spencer's boatyard here in KW,they just sprayed my morgan 2 months ago and did a wonderfull job,including materials for 1600.00 I know thats not peanuts,but for an awlgrip job it's dirt cheap.Stop by the Coconut Mallory Resort and Marina off of Roosevelt and take a look at the boat if you like,it's the "Jenna Mae".

Thanks for your responses,I was asked this question of what paint is better by a friend redoing a Conch 27.Hopefully he got on and read some of this.
Joey, did you see the 23 at Oceanside?
Thanks again, RS.

Joey, do you drive a white F-150 with a Seacraft sticker in the back window.

RS,I did look at that 23 at Oceanside,however when I saw it,it had power on it.There was a for sale sign in the console with 14000 on it and a cell #,I called but never got a response I am thinking maybe someone just bought it and was having those guys over there put a motor on it. And I drive a dodge ram 1500 with an IGFA and Temple Fork Outfitters sticker in the window.

Hey Joey - How do I get in touch with the painter that did your Morgan for 1600.00. I am redoing an Action Craft skiff and need to get it painted. I'm sure there are good and resonably priced painters between here and KW, but a good deal will motivate me to come to KW and get in a South Keys fishing trip.

I had the boat done at Spencer's boat yard down at Garrison Bight,I don't know the number but I'm sure you can get it from information.You want to speak with Ricky Spencer and if you have all the prep work done and the boat is ready to shoot,he is very resonable.Let me know if you decide to come down I run a resort and can hook you up with a unit.And if you like to throw a fly I have a Maverick Mirage that I am always looking for someone to share time on the platform with.If you can wait untill April,the Tarpon will be here!Joey

The PPG Consept is very much like Awlgrip 2000. Not the same as Regular Awlgrip.
You can spot repair it. Very hard to do with Regular Awlgrip.
It gives a finish that looks like it's clear coated, without the clear.
Sam Devlin in Washington State use's it all the time to paint his Stich & Glue Boat's.

I used it on the Black on this boat I built last year and have used it on a bunch of auto's.

It's user friendly and each coat reflows the last coat.
