Awlgrip is good but why put all that money $$$ into an expensive paint when if
you are like me and my crew - you are likely to scratch it and need to touch it
up every 2 years or so. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Suggest a simple single part paint like the stuff sold by interlux. On the
masy you all may have a better point but due to the fact that scratches on a
blue hull (white in nature) gall me, I prefer to have a great paint job every
time I haul vs the cost and overhead (worry at the dock) of more expensive 2
part paints.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=710261818-06062002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>By the
way Interlux suggests that todays blend of their brightside line matches if not
exceeds the qualities of some popular 2 part paints.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree, Imron and Awlgrip are the only two
paints that should be considered. Although my boat has been Awlgripped
and I am quite pleased with the job, I have learned from a local yard that
does alot of paint jobs that Imron may be the preferred choice today.
This is particularly true of the darker colors. His reasoning, for what
it is worth, is that Dupont (makers of Imron) has done a better job of keeping
up with EPA regulations than USPaint (makers of Awlgrip). He has had
some of the darker Awlgrip colors craze after only a couple years. While
this yard has significant experience in using both, this is simply his
opinion!</FONT></DIV>
