2021年5月10日 · If it looks good but you want to repaint, it’s a good substrate for more Awlgrip, rolled and tipped or sprayed. You can also consider a spray acrylic like Awlcraft2000. It can be wet sanded and touched up if damaged and is very easy to work with if you have any knowledge of spraying paint. No advice with faux teak decking.

2021年4月3日 · If you've seen my earlier threads, you'll know I'm pondering a re-paint. I have looked at multiple boats painted Stars and Stripes Blue.
