Interlux awlgrip and most all other marine finishers have detailed info using their products, so follow their manuals and you get excellent results with painting.

regelling a boat would be a pain in the ***, you would have to build up enough gel to sand it down smooth and buff it out, gel doesn't like to set up when exposed to air, its for use in a mold so the final finish is the surface of ht mold, needing less finish work. Paint is the way to go. BTW, Alw grips on line product guide is a good reference for any paint, there is a lot of good information about prep and material that applies to any paint job

Awlcraft and Awlgrip are two different formulas. Awlcraft can be buffed, it is a linear polyerethane. Awlgrip has a very durable and shiny film that forms the top layer and cannot be buffed IIRC.

It will work but will not last like the higher priced paints.

i painted a 13 whaler 10 years ago with rustoleum 2 part paint. rolled & tipped, still looks great. i liked it because it was a 0ne to 0ne mix, so you netted 2 gallons of paint. and i did the outside in white and when it was time to do the interior, i took the base back tot he store and they added tint for the baby blue inside.

If you spray the formula tells you that you use lose 33% of the paint.
