Next message: Carl H. Martin: "Re: T&T: i am looking for anyone who has painted a white hull with a dark color"
I promise this is my last inquiry about this.
I am looking for anyone's experience with painting their previously white
hull with a dark color.
I am having problems with my 18 month old $16,000 awlgrip paintjob from kkmi
in richmond california. dark blue over white on a 1985 Krogen 42. We are
getting cracks in the paint, especially in the areas exposed to most sun.
I have been told this "frequently happens" by the Awlgrip expert and no one
is to blame except the owner who wanted a dark color and the excessive
sunlight.
My impression is that there are lots of boats out there in hotter climates
than San Francisco with a dark paint job over previous white that worked out
fine. And the Krogen fiberglass is just like anybody else's fiberglass.
I suspect it is an application problem or a paint batch problem but i would
like to have others experience with this. Am I crazy or are they pulling my
leg?
