Painting hull - a few questions for the experts

[abl1111]

I've used awlgrip and awlcraft 2000. I did not notice a difference in applications. I recently sprayed Awlcraft 2000 on a sailboat and if you get a lesson about the right pressure to use, the right tip/nozzle and a how to apply with a paint gun, you can get great results. If you're good with using a spray paint can - you can use a paint gun. You just have to do it. I recommend practicing on a valueless pc of either fiberglass, or even a pc of glass to see how you do.

The real work is sanding and fairing - that is the art. It takes practice, a good eye and a feel. Using a sanding board really helped get a sailboat I re-did really nice. It really is 90% prep ! So, take your time and do it right. Then, buy the best paint you can afford and spray it !

For what it's worth,This is two part catalyst cured urethane by Epifanes.very close chemically to Imron.Great shine, indestructible,can be applied by roll and tip or spray.I sprayed this,but roll and tip comes out just as good.
