I’ve been painting for 40 years,
The only Difference between Imron & Awlgrip in Imron is Duponts version of a polyester urethane.
Awlgrip is Akkzo Nebel’s version of a polyester urethane
AwlCraft 2000 is also a Akkzo Nobel product but it’s an Acrylic Urethane.
PPG, RM, Glasurate are other companies that also have their own versions. There are even others only available to the government that are better than all of them.
Neither Imron, Awlgrip or Awlcraft match the durability of gelcoat but you will never get a gelcoat to look as good as a professional Urethane paint job.
I’m actually prepping my 28 BHM right now to paint the hull.
It’s getting an Awlgrip primer then painted with AwlCraft 2000.
Hull has seen its share of scratches & dings from the last 10 years I’ve have it & im getting ready to put the boat up for sale.
If I were going to keep the boat I would spray it with new gelcoat with Duratec clear.
