I had Touche' painted with Awlcraft 2000 because of the ease of repair. It
was damaged in Hurricane Sally. Both port and starboard. I had the entire
boat repainted.
Got some scratches on the starboard side a couple years ago in Hurricane Ida.
Had it repaired last year. The painter only sprayed the damaged area and a bit
more. The Awlcraft repaired well. The painter taped the area off rather than
feathering it out. Matched well but I can see the tape line up close. From 20
feet you can't. Color is red so some minor fading was expected.
It was rumoured that Touche' had been painted with Imron prior to my purchasing
it. Can't really comment because it was never verified. I sanded the topsides
prior to the Awlcraft.
Discuss with your painter his process for priming prior to applying any topcoat.

Hi all, we are in the midst of trying to repair damages to our hull (1985 C&C
37 CB) which stemmed from another boat parting its dock line in a storm and
laying against our hull for 2+ hours, tearing the paint and gelcoat from the
waterline to the rub rail. It's a long tale of woe, however, we are nearing the
part of our project where painting the hull topsides is being discussed. The
boat was painted with Awlgrip about 10 years ago (prior to our ownership), and
that finish has held up well. Also, because of the paint being 10 years old, it
has been "strongly recommended" that the entire hull be repainted, rather than
the damaged area only, with which we agree. I "assumed" that we would go back
with the same Awlgrip product, however, the repair people have suggested that
Imron would be a better product because scratches and dings can be repaired
more easily. They advised that the old Awlgrip would be sanded off and the a
base coat and clear coating over the color coat. Does anyone on the list have
any experience with Imron paints (marine, of course); or Imron vs Awlgrip:
Another qualifier is that our area (Ohio River) is not a big boating community
and there are few boating repair facilities here; (getting the boat to the
repair facility is a whole other story all by itself!)
One last point, is, color; our hull is the C&C factory white, don;t know the
name, but its an off-white almost cream color; we are thinking of going back
with flag blue or navy blue; any thoughts here are welcome as well.
As always, thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
