AWLGRIP PAINTS

What type of surface can I paint with Awlgrip?

Awlgrip is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces, including fiberglass, wood, aluminium, and steel. It is especially ideal for exterior boat surfaces such as the hull, deck, and metal parts. Thanks to its durability and glossy finish, Awlgrip is perfect for preserving the appearance of your boat while protecting it from aggressive marine conditions.

Can Awlgrip be applied with a roller or only with a spray gun?

Awlgrip can be applied using either a spray gun or a roller. However, for a more uniform and professional finish, the use of a spray gun is recommended.

A roller is also a viable option, especially for smaller areas or where a less glossy finish is desired. Regardless of the application method, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the best result.

What is the difference between Awlgrip G-line and Awlcraft?

The main difference between Awlgrip G-line and Awlcraft lies in their finish and durability. Awlgrip G-line provides a glossier and more durable finish, making it ideal for high-performance applications on exterior surfaces exposed to saltwater and sunlight. On the other hand, Awlcraft is a more flexible and easier-to-maintain option, primarily designed for matte finishes and interior surfaces, such as cabins and staterooms.

What is the difference between Awlgrip G-line and Awlcraft?

To apply Awlgrip paint correctly, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the surface: Sand and thoroughly clean the surface to ensure it’s free of contaminants and completely dry.
   
   
2. Mix the components: If the paint is two-part, mix the resin and hardener according to the indicated ratios.
   
   
3. Apply the first coat: Use a spray gun to apply an even coat. If using a roller, apply a thin layer.
   
   
4. Let it dry: Wait the recommended time between coats (check the technical data sheet).
   
   
5. Apply additional coats: Apply one or two more coats of Awlgrip, always allowing proper drying time between coats to ensure a long-lasting finish.
   
   Always consult the product’s technical data sheet to confirm mixing ratios, optimal application conditions, application thicknesses, and drying/curing times.
