Default Re: Gelcoat Versus Awlgrip versus Easypoxy - showdown.

You can see some before and after of my old Shamrock here. It was a 1992 with original gelcoat but it was too far gone to bring back.
This was all professionally done bottom job and top.
Awlgrip on sides and bottom paint is vivid white.

Signature finish. I hear a lot about this stuff lately and just bought a sample batch to try over faded 6 year old Easypoxy. It's made by the same guys (Fabula) who make Honey Teak (which I've got on my brightwork). The company owner, Tom, claims ten years life span, goes on over any prior paint, apply in any weather (I'm in the NE), use as bottom paint. Sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any prior experience with it?. Thanks

Go to the search function and use "signature paint", newer than let's say 10 weeks. All the info you need. I've used it on my transom and console rebuild and I like it.

I used Signature to repaint the bottom of my boat with excellent results. Here's the post I made on that job last spring. I left a sample of it in salt water for over a month with zero problems. Tom Fabula said he painted his swimming pool with it over 10 years ago and it still looks great! No other urethane paint will hold up under water like that!

Boat was subsequently left in water for a couple of weeks. Had a little bit of growth on transom and bracket flotation tub where moving water didn't knock it off, but that paint is so slick that it wiped right off with a wet rag!

Here's a link to my photobucket album in case the links don't work in the old post.
