Marine Paint..........

[HookMaster]

Look into this as an alternitive to Awlgrip.........
www.hmgmarine.com

Made in England and comes in 5 liter container = 1.3 gallons I believe. Cost is very attractive and is compareable to the Awlgrip finish.

Plan to apply by spraying on my 1978 Manatee project...........

Hi all,

Saw this post and wanted to jump in. HMG is available at clarkcraft.com, around $20/ltr for white, more for colors. They call it "K-Type Urethane". I'd call to insure availabiltiy.

I tried this paint out, as I needed a quart quick, and I was there.

Best decision of my life. Thinned it out with a little brushing thinner, and it rolled out like glass. Barely needed to tip the bubbles out. What I thought was really nice, was the fact that it was pretty much dry to the touch in about 3 hours. Waited till the next day to wetsand though.

What I thought was even nicer, was that any marine life that attached itself to the sides of my boat brushed off nicely, and I could wax it right back up.

Thanks for your report... I will be using HMG for the first time (spraying) so glad to hear it's good...
