My previous boat was "awlgripped" and I needed some touch up paint , there is an Awlgrip dealer near me in Toronto , I walked in showed him the coloUr I needed .. he opened a stock can and spooned some into a jar and said here you go! .
So I bought some "awl - polish" l just for Karma . I touched up the scratch with a small modelers paint brush and used a few applications to build it up , rubbing compounds etc. don't "cut" the cured paint .. I wonder if a 2000 grit automotive sand paper would have done it . -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Graham Collins Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2012 8:45 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List 1981 Gel Coat Color Hi Jonathan I borrowed an Awlgrip color card from the local outfit that originally painted Secret Plans - they were a bit embarrassed that they did not have a record of what colors they used. I'd call it a 5 foot repair - can't be noticed from > 5 feet away. I don't think it applies to you, but a comment for any Canadians looking for touch-up paint. The Awlgrip site says US orders only... so I called them, my plan was to get a friend in the US to re-ship it to me. The nice lady said they do ship to Canada, just that their web site won't accept the order for some reason. Paint arrived two days later...

The awl grip was put on by a PO so I don't even know what its original color was. I see from the Awkgrip website that they offer patch-up quantities of a very limited range if colors.
