The guy I bought my boat from painted the hull with white awlgrip below the rubrail and on the vertical part just above. He had never rolled/tipped before but it turned out pretty good. There are some obvious runs in some places but he showed me where he started and where he finished - he did pretty good. I love the ease of maintenance - no waxing and shines like new. No staining either. You can pretty much wipe any stain right off with a wet rag. The one thing I will say about it is it will chip, but it has not been a huge problem for me. Chips give it character. I don't own a boat so I can display it in a show room. If it looks used - it just means that it is.
