How-to Paint Your Fiberglass Boat Using AWL Grip

Dans Nautical Shop

We've just finished our AWL Grip interior and exterior painting project with some help from our friends at Midwest Marine Supply! Disclaimer: This is not the easiest paint to work with, but the results are worth it! Very happy with the finished look now that it's in the water.

Important Tip We initially started applying the paint with a foam roller and foam brush. These tools created a lot of bubbles, and after consulting with our Awlgrip representatives, we switched to a mohair roller and bristle brush. This worked better for flow and finish. We recommend using these instead of foam if you're working with AWL Grip paint.
