    Matching Awlgrip

    Hello All

    New Hatteras owner here just purchased a 1985 61' Motor Yacht The original paint is Imron kind of an off white. I have to build some parts that will need to be painted I would prefer using Awlgrip instead of Imron does anyone know if there is a matching color in Awlgrip?

    Thanks Brian

    The Awlgrip cream is a dead match.

    Why would you want to use Awlgrip. The Imron is great. Awlgrip is fine but tends to orange peel more than Imron. Both last great. Our '86C is the original Imron and looks like new.

    IMHO... after having managed several refits of Hatts of various vintages with Imron, Awlgrip, and Awlcraft (Awlcrap)... Imron is the way to go. It will outlast all of the other paints and can be buffed out to look new for years and years when the others will have to be repainted.
