Fixing scratches in Awlgrip

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. Awlgrip (catalyzed polyurethane) is no more difficult to apply than any good automotive finish. The problem is getting the perfect color match. If you have or can get the mix formula and the finish isn't faded, the battle is 90 percent won. For small scratches I would wet sand them out and use an air brush or small touch up gun. Or if you have a friend who is in the auto body or car restoration business, get them to help you. Just follow the safety info with regard to respiratory protection. It is fairly potent stuff.
