Thumbs up awlgrip

Make sure you prep the aluminum clean/degrease and use awlgrip primer D8001 (545 Epoxy primer) then the paint. It will look great if done right and hold up for years.

I saw a paul mann boat that had the half tower painted in awlgrip. It looked great and could be touched up if it got dinged. I think it was " izzer".

Smile Awlgrip

Awlgrip is a good strong finish and can be repaired easier and applied easier than power coating. Power coating is more durable overall. It comes down to maintenance on the T-top or what ever you are painting.
