What a superb job, peeling off the tape is the best part, it really shows off all the hard effort and the workmanship, its the way to go.. Arjay from Scotland.
Thanks for the video.I’ve painted my 241 fours wins Liberator about 15 years ago in my yard.overspray got on neighbors new deck. Can’t risk spraying outside so I’m gonna do roll n tip.great video. Thanks for explaining each step. I wrote it down.
Kenny you are the man! I used to work on yacht Just Enough and Milestone a couple years ago, now I am a captain up here in the states. Been doing some awlgrip touch ups and your videos are super helpful! You skill and humbleness are inspiring thanks for the videos! all the love brotha!
I have no experience and getting ready to paint my little Pro-Line 20 with Awlgrip . Thanks Kenny and crew for your knowledge! You set the bar pretty high but you certainly taught me a lot on this video. Camera work was awesome :-)
@@kennysyachtmaintenance Kenny you do great work. As you can see where your heart is. Your not fueled by greed but a desire to do what God has blessed you to do! I’m a self employed yacht mechanic. So I appreciate what you are doing. Where are you located?
I painted my fiberglass hull (Navy Blue) roll & tip with International yacht paint which is 2 pack. Try as I might I couldn't get all the brush marks out. The instructions said not to sand between coats but looking at your work maybe that's what I should have done!
Thanks for sharing Ken im about to paint my catalina 36ft sailboat top side its old and leave a lot of chalk on your clothes.Up here in the New Jersey U.S waiting on the weather to break
I am using wet edge from total boat and mistakenly put the comment here. I am subscribed to your channel as well and seen you have used wet edge in other videos.
Total boat has a wipe down solvent as well. It's a wax remover and cleaner. You can use any one before painting. Total boat cleaner, Awlgrip wipe down solvent. Or alexseal . They all do the same thing. Use clean rags. And a tack rag before painting
This looks amazing. We are so close to painting and this is the color blue we want. Did I hear you say you are using Navy Blue? The navy blue by awlgrip I see here in the States is much darker than that, just wanted to double check!
My current hull is shinny below the water line, its the gunwale and the center console supposed to be shinny too or have a matte finish?Should I sand it down to a certain grit?
@@kennysyachtmaintenance what about the gunwale where the rod holders are? mines a dusky with like a textured finish. I guess for non slip, but looks original not rolled on… my whole boat is gel coated
Good Afternoon! Wish I still lived in St Thomas I would juts bring my boat to you and let you do this exact paint job. But I'm now on Florida. Can you detail the exact sander, the grit, that you used.
Excelente job! Watching from Puerto Rico, which brushes you used for the tipping,(brand and model). After the 3er top coat, it doesn’t need any top of clear? , Thanks in advance loved the video!
Thanks. The brushes are omega brushes. You can search online for them. Awlgrip already has its own clear already mixed in the paint. Please subscribe and watch my other videos
That looks really good! I have a 2004 Intrepid 300 Center Console. My paint looks good, but there are several spots I can see where the previous owner scratched the paint. I think it would be easier to do what you just did instead of trying to match the paint where it is scratched and gouged.
Nice! How come you washe between coats and not use solvent instead? Doesn't your blue tape start lifting once soaped? Thnx for showing 2" foam roller, not a lot online with it (how I found this). Cheers!
It's always best to wash down. That way you get rid of all dust and possible contamination. The coat of primer usually seals the tape in place and prevent it from lifting. Please like and subscribe for more content
I'm using 3 part Alexseal right now, outside, 3rd topcoat, using their new additive to pop bubbles. They say solvent not wash, maybe theirs is different from Awlgrip? Your work looks lovely, good luck on more biz, you deserve it :)
Awlcraft 2000 is specifically for spraying. There is no information for rolling and tipping Awlcraft on the Awlgrip guide book. Awlgrip is for rolling and tipping and the reducer for that is T00031
Could someone please explain how Awlgrip compares (advantages abd disadvantages) to Polyethylene paint or, alternatively, Gel Coat? My old, original Gel Coat got tired (faded), so i overpainted it with Brightside Polyethylene paint. That looks great for a few months, but the finish never lasts, such that it needs to touching up evert few months. So, i was wondering whether to start all over again with a new layer of Gel Coat but someone suggested i switch to Awlgrip?
You can paint over faded jellcoat surfaces providing that you prep it well. Sand and apply primer then paint. But it is not advised to put jellcoat back over paint. Once jellcoat gets old and faded most people switch to a two part paint. Awlgrip or alexseal is best. Please subscribe and watch my other videos
@@kennysyachtmaintenance how you get them off a trailer, what if any stands we can buy or build at home to sit a boat on. How and where is safe to hold the boat up while working on it
Any difference between using mineral spirits vs. Total Boat Brushing Thinner 100? The cost difference is significant, but I don't want to jeopardize the job. Obviously in your video It can't get much better. Thanks in advance.
I use mineral spirits to wipe down oil base products like varnish before refinishing. For Awlgrip painting we use Awlgrip wax remover and Awlgrip wipe down solvent.

Wondering why you need to tipp?
Could the job be done without tipping?
Loved this video - shows great finishes can be achieved without a spray setup.
We tipp because Awlgrip leaves lots of bubbles when just roll. The tipping removes the bubbles. Please subscribe and watch my other videos
awesome. Can you roll and tip clear over that? I've always used a base clear with Awlgrip. I've also mixed 50/50 base/clear for a fourth coat.
Sure you can roll clear over the base coat. And yes I also add clear in my final coat. Please subscribe and watch my other videos
What type of paintbrush bristles are best for the tipping please?
I use omega paint brushes.
Look really good but will it be as strong as a gel coat 🤔
Awlgrip and Alexseal makes the best marine paints in the world. Please subscribe to my channel and watch my other videos
Very nice. I had a question. Can you sand and buff after the third coat? Or is it not like clear coat? Thank you
You can't sand and buff Awlgrip. You can do that with awlcraft or alexseal
Nice
Good Afternoon! Wish I still lived in St Thomas I would juts bring my boat to you and let you do this exact paint job. But I'm now on Florida. Can you detail the exact sander, the grit, that you used.
I used a porta cable orbital sander. And the velcro sandpaper. Different grits

You can add up to 20% reducer to the volume of paint. If brushing T0031 of spraying T0003 or T0001

Do you re tape after sanding and wash down ?If not how do you keep a nice crisp edge ?
I will retape if the tape is damage. I try to keep the tape in tack so I don't have to retape

Yes it comes out glossy. Please subscribe and watch my other videos

Did I not understand exactly the time difference between all the processes, priming and painting?
You can sand the very next day after primer and paint. As long as the paint is fully dry you can sand and paint
