    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?
