Well, my V still isnt painted yet. Keep hearing excuses.
Did aliitle more wet sanding on the V today and I hate it. To much work on the arms. Its like carrying two dozen of dontuts. ;D

Anybody ever work with Pettit Easypoxy paint ??? ???
Its a one part paint, so I guess it isnt as good as awlgrip being a two part paint. Its cheaper to.

Think we need a "HAMMERS" Painting party, since we all know I HATE PAINTING !!. ;D
 
Yep. Ive used it on my 16ft.Carolina wooden boat and it holds up really good. Its been on there about 5-6 years, and no cracking or peeling yet. I havent tried it on glass.
 
I would try to stick to two part paints, awlgrip, or interlux perfection even. I sprayed the awlcraft 2000, it was nice to work with and is somewhat forgiving in that it is buffable and you can "spot" in repairs. The regular awlgrip is nice but tougher to work with if your not set up for it. Its also less forgiving if you screw it up. If your gonna spend the time prepping and painting I think its best to use the most durable stuff you can. If your just painting to sell it then latex works great ;) . Im no expert, just my .2 cents.
 
You should consider the Devoe 379 two part paint. I use it at work and painted my topside with it. Hold up great, nice shine and pretty affordable.

It's hard to say, it's been awhile. I'm thinking it was something like $50.00 for a gallon. I got it from the ICI paint store. Awlgrip is like $250.00 a gallon.
 
My buddy is suposed to paint my V with awlgrip, but has been delayed on other projects. Awlgrip to buy myself is way to much. I seen it listed at that same price. Todays a great day to paint. :-/ :'( :'( :'(
 
Hammer,

You couldn't go wrong with Alwgrip. If my remember correctly, this Devoe paint I recommened is similar to the Awlcraft 2000, a 2 part polyuerethane, The "original" Awlgrip is a polyester base, very durable but harder to apply and/or repair. What price are you talking about seeing the Awlgrip?

I really believe in this paint I recommened, belive me, for as much work as I put into my topside................I sure wouldn't have put some cheap stuff on it. You should at least see what it would cost you.
 
Local boat store down the street sells the Awlgrip white for $200.00 a gallon, awlgrip Primer, $189.00 a gallon.
Then I need to buy the converter so I can spray. So with prices like that, I said no way. But then my buddy was suposed to paint a boat with awlgrip and do mine at the same time. But its been a month and still nothing. With teh colder weather coming, I'm running out of time.  ;D
Checked out your gallery. u need to update so we can see what the V looks like now.  ;)
 
Sux that you cant order direct from them. Gotta find a paint store that sells this paint. If te price is right, I'm gonna go with it I guess.
 
Yep, found that online as well. Gonna call them Monday.
Thanks man. Hey...after you primered, did you need to sand ?? wet sand ?? light sand to get the over spray off I guess.
