[@damonziter8844]

Very nice. I had a question. Can you sand and buff after the third coat? Or is it not like clear coat? Thank you

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

You can't sand and buff Awlgrip. You can do that with awlcraft or alexseal

[@ericdavi1231]

That looks really good! I have a 2004 Intrepid 300 Center Console. My paint looks good, but there are several spots I can see where the previous owner scratched the paint. I think it would be easier to do what you just did instead of trying to match the paint where it is scratched and gouged.

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Sand with 400 grit for the final coat

[@tonythoman7534]

Looks awesome. What type of brush are you using? Where did you find such a wide brush?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

They are omega brand. Try on Amazon. Please subscribe and watch my other videos

[@tarivard]

awesome. Can you roll and tip clear over that? I've always used a base clear with Awlgrip. I've also mixed 50/50 base/clear for a fourth coat.

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Sure you can roll clear over the base coat. And yes I also add clear in my final coat. Please subscribe and watch my other videos

[@gordonflash8976]

Wondering why you need to tipp?
Could the job be done without tipping?
Loved this video - shows great finishes can be achieved without a spray setup.

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

We tipp because Awlgrip leaves lots of bubbles when just roll. The tipping removes the bubbles. Please subscribe and watch my other videos

[@BuildingMVDauntless]

This looks amazing. We are so close to painting and this is the color blue we want. Did I hear you say you are using Navy Blue? The navy blue by awlgrip I see here in the States is much darker than that, just wanted to double check!

[@cheesepaper3031]

What year is that intrepid? Is it a 2005-2008? I mostly did lay up and infusion at the factory and a few gel jobs. Curious to know if you ran across any spider cracks in the gel coat? These boats are built well. At the factory they sprayed the paint. They had a booth there. Have you tried a foam brush for tipping?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

I'm not sure of the year of the boat. Spider cracks are sometimes tricky to repair. Sometimes I just use west system to fill them. Other times I just use 545 primer. I use really good brushes for tipping. Omega or Corona. No foam brushes. Please like and subscribe. Check out my other videos

Good Afternoon! Wish I still lived in St Thomas I would juts bring my boat to you and let you do this exact paint job. But I'm now on Florida. Can you detail the exact sander, the grit, that you used.

I used a porta cable orbital sander. And the velcro sandpaper. Different grits

How do you clean the brushes after painting? Or you uses new tools for each coat?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

I use lacquer thinner to clean my brushes

[@sailorcherry1742]

Nice! How come you washe between coats and not use solvent instead? Doesn't your blue tape start lifting once soaped? Thnx for showing 2" foam roller, not a lot online with it (how I found this). Cheers!

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

It's always best to wash down. That way you get rid of all dust and possible contamination. The coat of primer usually seals the tape in place and prevent it from lifting. Please like and subscribe for more content

[@sailorcherry1742]

I'm using 3 part Alexseal right now, outside, 3rd topcoat, using their new additive to pop bubbles. They say solvent not wash, maybe theirs is different from Awlgrip? Your work looks lovely, good luck on more biz, you deserve it :)

[@Ingeanous]

Third coat looks great. When you roll and tipped it, how long did it take too set up enough so bugs and dust don't stick to it, or get rain streaks?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

I'm located in the virgin islands so rain is always a high possibility. For that reason I always add some excellerator to speed up the dry time.

[@eliyahisrael1177]

Big man I from deh two can I also spray with a paint gun or is it best to roll and tip

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Awlgrip can be sprayed using the spray converter and spray reducer. For roll and Tipp you use brush converter and reducer.

[@butchkirchner3890]

Kenny,What do you use for reducer when roll&tip allcraft 2000?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Awlcraft 2000 is specifically for spraying. There is no information for rolling and tipping Awlcraft on the Awlgrip guide book. Awlgrip is for rolling and tipping and the reducer for that is T00031

[@CSJiGSaW08]

My current hull is shinny below the water line, its the gunwale and the center console supposed to be shinny too or have a matte finish?Should I sand it down to a certain grit?

The center console is usually a shinny finish. Below the waterline is usually bottom paint

Could someone please explain how Awlgrip compares (advantages abd disadvantages) to Polyethylene paint or, alternatively, Gel Coat? My old, original Gel Coat got tired (faded), so i overpainted it with Brightside Polyethylene paint. That looks great for a few months, but the finish never lasts, such that it needs to touching up evert few months. So, i was wondering whether to start all over again with a new layer of Gel Coat but someone suggested i switch to Awlgrip?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

You can paint over faded jellcoat surfaces providing that you prep it well. Sand and apply primer then paint. But it is not advised to put jellcoat back over paint. Once jellcoat gets old and faded most people switch to a two part paint. Awlgrip or alexseal is best. Please subscribe and watch my other videos
