What primer do you use? Also, will an Awlgrip paint job come out
nicely by rolling and back-brushing? I've got a 17' fiberglass boat
that I'm thinking about painting.
Roll and tip is a great way to repaint a boat. I've seen some older
hulls, in particular a Master Marine 28 foot CC, repaired and
repainted this way - the finish is amazing.
It does take two people and you need to make a few practice swipes to
make sure you have the technique right, but the results are very good
- almost as good as a spray job if it's done correctly.
As to primer, you really don't have to prime, but it helps. The main
thing is to and down the surface to remove dirt, wax, etc., before you
paint. Any good primer will work well if you prepare the surface
properly.
On a 17 footer, should be a fun project.

Thanks.....think I'll give it a shot, probably when it's a tad cooler
would be best, so the paint doesn't set too quickly?
