Awlgrip paint.
 
Where can you get the best prices on awlgrip paint? I know it was expensive...but at the prices I am seeing guess I have to get bent over.

thats Awlgrip, not likely to find any substantial price difference anywhere. Stuffs expensive

turbo rr 05-25-2015 08:01 AM

I kind of figured so....but around $700 for a gallon of paint, activator and reducer? Can we say bent over boys and girls? Glassdave, are there any comparable alternatives that I can use that is significantly cheaper?

Wow, that is getting bent over. Isnt imron comparable? I dont think it comes in as many colors but $700...

Just use Rustoleum - its about 99% as good.

When I re-did my bilge I painted one part with Awlgrip and the other part with Rustoleum that had added hardener.

3 years - Gas, oil, red hydraulic fluid, standing water and neither one failed.

The OP did not specify what he is painting. I have not used rustoleum but there is no way in hell I would use it on the exterior.

Good call, I assumed it was the bilge.

Sorry I didnt say in the original post....but I am painting the hull, floor and deck of a 34 center console. I am thinking the sides in the awlgrip but I am going to find an alternative for the deck, cockpit and floors.
