Fixing scratches in Awlgrip
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 ?? ======================= "Don W" wrote in message om... 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? Don W. |
