Don ,,,, I was asking myself this same question lately.

I saw this really sweet boat, it had a new ( owner said $7,000 ) finish job
done to the topsides.

I'm looking it over with envy when I see a big old scratch on the side.
Looked like the boat had rubbed up against a dock and maybe a nail got it.

I kept thinking ??? $7,000 and now there is a big scratch.

Later I was talking to another boat owner and I said "why don't people just
paint the boats with one part paint, then when the topside gets scratched it
won't be a big deal".

I'm still wondering about that ... why do boat owners have Awlgrip jobs
knowing that the paint is going to get scratched?

With the roll, and dry tip method of painting ,,, I have seen paint jobs on
the net that look as good as Awlgrip.


So,, what is the answer ??

When a boat that has been painted with Awlgrip gets scratched, how do you
repair the scratch. If it was gelcoat, you would just fill in the scratch
with matching color gelcoat, sand it fair, and then polish it out.

Our new boat was recently painted with Awlgrip, and it looks like they
scratched it putting it into the dock. How can I make the scratches go
away?
