I plan to Awlgrip my 18 foot fiberglass boat. The original gelcoat is
a turquoise blue which is not available with Awlgrip. I notice that
darker repaints show scratches more. Should I go to a white or beige
or are there things to do with the priming to reduce scratches showing
through?

White is better, but not always - stick to the pure whites rather than
the off whites.

You will need to sand the current color to clean off the wax and take
out the scratches. Then prime, then paint.

Most folks forget the prime part.

Later,

Tom
