[@Letizia4813]

Beautiful, I wish you were in North Carolina. How long will that paint job last down there? What do you have to do to maintain the paint, wax, compound? Can you just paint the sides and leave the bottom gel coat?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Some people get 15 years out of a paint job. It helps to wax the paint even ones a year. Twice a year much better. This boat stays in the water so they use bottom paint. Please subscribe and watch my other videos. I do travel to work outside of the virgin islands.

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.

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

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

[@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.

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

[@aguerra57]

I am using wet edge from total boat and mistakenly put the comment here. I am subscribed to your channel as well and seen you have used wet edge in other videos.

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

Total boat has a wipe down solvent as well. It's a wax remover and cleaner. You can use any one before painting. Total boat cleaner, Awlgrip wipe down solvent. Or alexseal . They all do the same thing. Use clean rags. And a tack rag before painting

[@dr.joelsantiagovalcarcelmd5838]

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?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

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

[@CSJiGSaW08]

@@kennysyachtmaintenance what about the gunwale where the rod holders are? mines a dusky with like a textured finish. I guess for non slip, but looks original not rolled on… my whole boat is gel coated

[@texarama]

[@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 :)

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.

[@stephenburnage7687]

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

Any difference between using mineral spirits vs. Total Boat Brushing Thinner 100? The cost difference is significant, but I don't want to jeopardize the job. Obviously in your video It can't get much better. Thanks in advance.

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

What are you using the mineral spirits for?

[@kennysyachtmaintenance]

I use mineral spirits to wipe down oil base products like varnish before refinishing. For Awlgrip painting we use Awlgrip wax remover and Awlgrip wipe down solvent.

[@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
