Awlgrip Hull Color

Post by Doug Frye »

Hi everybody. I know that S2 calls our white hulls above the boot stripe some kind of gray.

What does Awlgrip call the closest matching color.

I might actually get around to repairing all the battle scars on Robyn sometime this year and try to make the boat pretty again.
Those who have repainted, what paint have you used on boot stripe?

Doug,
The 13 page info letter from S2 (available http://hottamaleracing.com/misc_files/S2info.pdf here) has some gelcoat color info on page 12.
Thanks,

Aha...there it is Tim...page 12

Pearl Grey, Grey mist....Light grey gelcoat used as optional color on all S2's from 1982- 1988

Mini-craft's color number 766 ET 407

Thanks...Doug

PS I might be going with Alexseal instead of Awlgrip...they are the new kid on the LPU Painting block from Germany.
Same price but said to have better qualities.

I'll looking for the Gel coat color on my 84 boat. It is white. Isn't there a #, in the # on the stern that shows which white it is?
Checked the Hot Tomale site and not sure if there was 2 whites in 84.
Thanks

Call Mini Craft in FL, I believe it's in the ID number. My 82 is Irmin White, not sure on the number. Had wax added for easy sanding. Store it in the fridge, lasts a long long time.

I purchased the Ermine White from them. Hope it's right, won't know for a couple weeks.

The Ermine White is a Purrfect match.
Real easy to work with.
