My brother rolled and tipped a whole 55 foot trawler with awlgrip. It looked awesome from 5 feet away!

I think spraying is recommended. I just did my bimini with 2 part Epiphanes. Sets up quickly, comes out smooth, hard and shiny. You need to do small areas and tip as soon as you roll.

There is a useful Practical Sailor 3 year test that I found useful. They recommend Interlux Perfection or Epifanes 2 parts.

After good luck with repainting the boot stripe and my Dyer Dhow I decided to strip the transom and DIY repaint with Awlgrip. Apparently Awlgrip is roller/brush friendly. I will let you know how it turns out. David F.

I had used it to great effect on my previous boat, and when I bought this boat, the topsides were pretty sad and I got lots of compliments on the look after Poliglow treatment. Now, 5 years later, the boat really needs a new paint job. I decided new sails were more important, so putting that off for a few years. It looks fine from 100 ft. so hoping to be that far in front of the competition. Painting looks like a PITA job as DIY and expensive as professional. In the meantime, the reverse angle transom is really in bad shape- mottled and patchy in color presumably because it gets more sun. I took the Poliglow off with Poliprep and it still looks pretty bad. What would be the most aggressive thing to try on the Awlgrip to make it look better before reapplying Poliglow? I tried Poly-ox and that had little effect. I am guessing that there is nothing else to do at this point, but awaiting the wisdom of the list.

Unfortunately, it soon showed lots of dark pollution streaks on a light colored surface. It was difficult to remove.
