OK Gang, Just talked to Tom tonight and he is putting together the "FLY" paint package for the 1970 20'. Can you say "so long mustard yellow"? He was very helpfull. Look forward to giving it a go.

Hello Hermit......Yes I also talked to Tom the other day about Signature Finish and he gave up lots of info. A good guy to work with ya when painting your boat. .........Thats cool that Ted Williams fished from your boat................I met him many years ago at a dinner in NB Canada for the Miramichi Salmon Association. A legend in the fly-fishing world for freshwater and saltwater fishing.....and baseball ......good luck with the SeaCraft..........Michael

I'm bringing this thread back to life. I will be painting my CC in the next few months. My sky blue exterior awlgrip is pretty shiny but my oyster white cap and interior are dull and faded. I may try this signature finish based on posts here. Any updates or other members use this paint?

What do I need to do to prep the awlgrip for the signature? I was thinking like 220 grit sandpaper.
Do I need to buff between coats? Will 3 coats be enough?

Try #320 It should be enough to scuff it. You DO NOT need to buff between coats. Scuff with a green 3M pad then wash & tag rag. Your now ready to to continue with the next coat. Two coats @ 8-2-4 mixture . If your not satisfied with the look, then add one coat 8-2-5 and then buff with 3m PERFECT-IT should do it
