Re: Awl Grip paint
 

I contacted US paint ( I guess they make "awl grip")
They suggested using "awl gaurd" in the bilge. The tech on the phone said it is a scuff and brush. It doesn't need a primer like awl grip paint. It can also be reduced with water.
Tech said they offer snow white in color and it shines like crazy. Easy clean up with typical bilge messes.
It is sold as a kit... base, hardener, and distiled water.

Has anybody used or heard of this?

Re: Awl Grip paint
 

Are you painting over existing Awl Grip? In that case I think you need to use the same system.

I am doing some touch up of my bilge this winter. Let me know who you end up buying from. I need some too!

Kirk, I regelled the bilge last yr and was not happy with the results, dull finish after time and oil wouldn't clean up well. Also seems to just get dirty too easy. Now that the mtr is out I'm going to redo the whole bilge with awl something. I'm just not sure which route to take. I need advice from the been there done that crowd.

I replaced my transom core and my outer stringers last year. My bilge was originally painted in some drab gray. I scuffed up evrything and painted it with snow white awlgrip. I didn't use any primer, but it doesnt cover very well. Two coats was barely covering where some spots were light and some were dark, so I put three coats on.
If I had mine to do again, i probably would have primed first.

If you have an evenly covered surface (no dark or light spots, skuff the surface really well and skip the primer.
I brushed it, if you use the right ratio of brushing converter and reducer ,the stuff flows out beautifully!


I love the durability of that stuff in my bilge, drop a wrench (within reason)and it doesn't chip.
Goodluck

The awlgrip is the absolute best in the bilge. You practically need to grind it to mark it up!

Re: Awl Grip paint
 

I want to use the awl stuff. I'm just trying to figure out the deal with Awl Gaurd or Awl Grip.
I'm leaning toward the "Gaurd"
anybody used it?
