Awlgrip repair

[tuffguy]

I have been lurking on this site for longer than I will admit to publicly, but I feel somewhat honored to join the group officially. I have just bought my first Seacraft (1972 20' CC 115hp OB) and I couldn't be happier- at least until I start paying the bills The boat is navy blue with a red boot top stripe and black bottom.

the navy blue is Awlgrip and has a few chips and scratches- what is the best way to fix it? what is the cheapest way to fix it? (i can only assume that these two things are different...)

looking forward to learning lots from all of you and above all, enjoying the water in a Seacraft.

best,

Cheapest,easiest, artist brush and the matching paint color to just do a quick and dirty touch up.

wow...you guys are good! (and fast-) thanks for the tips, I'll give the brush a whirl and if it does the trick i'll be pumped.

If it doesn't (i'll be solely to blame), then I'll have to resort to more drastic (read: $$$) measures

i'll let you guys know, (and thanks again)

Remember you get the fun and make the memories operating a boat, not looking at it. You can chase cosmetics straight to the poor house. Get it operational, well rigged for your purposes and cosmetically acceptable and it will serve you proudly for many years.

Pretty much the only boats that look new are the new ones. And they don't usually stay that way long!
