Vin,
Sorry for the delay in response, I just found your message. I LOVE the Awlgrip paint. I had a shop in Virginia do the work, so I can't speak about prep work, But I can tell you the boat was transported 1100 miles by truck when we moved to Wisconsin without a scratch. It is a very deep looking paint with beautiful shine. Maintenance is a breeze. I wash her a couple times a year. Since we are on lake Michigan now, I have to use fenders on 1 side of the boat for berthing in the slip, and have no wear at all. It was painted 3 years ago.
Mike
