Comments about Awlgrip Awlgrip Polyester Urethane Topcoat Base Quart:
Regarding your ad for AwlGrip paint, which says "Awlgrip finishes are renowned for their superior resistance to sun, saltwater, chemicals," I can tell you that one color of AwlGrip, at least is the absolute worst paint for chemical resistance. A paint shop used AwlGrip Air Ag Yellow on my airplane, and I have used it also, in touch up work. That particular color is EXTREMELY sensitive to the acid wash used to clean corrosion from aluminum; a necessary preparatory step. The slightest spill or drip of the phosphoric acid cleaner will eventually show up as a dark stain on the Air Ag Yellow, and cannot be removed except by rubbing through the layer of stain with rubbing compound. NO OTHER paint of any color that I have used has had this problem. Parts of the airplane are painted in Matterhorn White Alumigrip, and it does not stain, nor does yellow, white, or black Imron. Worse yet, Akzo Nobel is extremely unresponsive and very defensive about complaints, and not at all helpful. They just blew me off when I asked them about the issue.

I used the brushing reducer with great results. Should have used primer because gelcoat was so oxidized it took many coats to get deep color (red)
