Help me pick an Awlgrip color!

[warthog5]

HeHe If you really want the boat to stand out above the Regulator's. This color was taken from George's 20.
Vivid Red.

Hi Strick!
I put aquamist inside and sea foam outside. I didn't want the white glare in the Fla. sun. The sea foam is not a widely used color here so it does stand out.
Are you using your boat now?
We just went out for the Air and Sea show in 6-8 (8-10) and the ride was great!

I have decided to go with Sky Blue Awlgrip. The last time the boat was painted we used Awlcraft 2000 in Sunfast Red. I did not like the performance of Awlcraft and would not recommend it. The shine was good, however it was not as hard of a paint as standard Awlgrip. I will post pix when done.

Hi Bill

I've been using the boat a little. Had her out about 5 times. She's not completly finished yet so I'm waiting to post some pics of it then...so for now I'm just enjoying it a little. Your boat looks great BTW.

BTT- haha- welllll- im pulling my ride because of a small oil leak for which I cannot easily rectify. Sooo i am now thinking of doing a substantial overhaul since I have to pull the motor (remove t-top,console etc.etc.etc. My gel-coat is worn pretty good in a few spots on the cap and deck so I am thing about rolling and tipping some type of off white.( My first thought is to leave everything white- actually would maybe like a pearl white (like used to come on older corvettes?)Then maybe since I am already doing some of it , go ahead and doing the hull as well.I really like the hull color aquamist that strick used-but im not rushing myself into any quick decisions. Anyone have a color chart i could buy/borrow?? I tried to order one from the website for 2.50 but it wouldnt let me add it to my cart for whatever reason. I did see one for 12.50 and another for 45$????? on e-bay,lol but that seemed a tad excessive??? Another question I have is how many gallons will it take for the hull alone and then for the cap,deck and inner liner. Now heres the tough question so dont laugh- I dont have anywhere "indoors " where I can roll this thing. If I do it outside on a clear , low humidity day outside can I expect a good result???? Or am I just nutz to even be considering doing this???? Thanx- whith the price of fuel right now I think I can fish on my friends boats this season while I redo my boat in the privacy of my own yard,lol. lots of questions i know-what yall think??? Craig

For me it was a toss up between fighting lady yellow and the aquamist. My next boat will be fighting lady yellow. If you do it at home then put up one of those cheap pvc 3 sided enclosures for the painting. That will help keep stuff from blowing on to your wet paint. Not sure how much paint you will burn rolling and tipping. I think I went thru about 1.5 to 2 quarts for the outside of my boat. Keep in mind that awlgrip is mixed differently depending if you spray or roll. I tried rolling and tipping a small area on my hard top and was unhappy with the results so I decided to spray instead.
