This is applying the first coat of the Awlgrip top coat paint. I dip the roller and roll off the excess in the paint tray nothing will drip off it. Then start with light pressure against the hull to prevent squeezing drips out of the roller. Make multiple passes, starting off light to prevent drips, then medium pressure as the roller dries out. Make a few more passes over the area you have just done with lighter and lighter pressure until the final pass. The last pass is to knock down any bubbles so you don't have to tip. Use very light pressure and go slow to prevent bringing up new bubbles. Make a final pass at the wet edge to ensure it is completely flat.
After reading the link above, and all the work it took, I'll never buy a boat. Thanks for the tips. I'm using cheap rustoleum topside paint and primer to paint an old fiberglass RV. I'm not that concerned about getting it as nice as you did. But I'll do my best.
As i keep saying to people, pay attention to the prepapation, while the udercoating is going on and when all the voids are filled in and sanded, you then aply the top coat. All the work is in the prep when the fianall undecout goes on,
you then do a very light sanding with 400 and 600 grit wash off all the dust, then aply the topcoat.

i know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Troy Callan Instablaster :)
@Alden Casen thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Alden Casen it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Troy Callan no problem :D
In my day I'd have one person on roller as I was the tip man using only badger hair brushes , for a sprayed affect look. I heard about roll without brushing, like to see up close 👍🏼
There's a very slight orange peel look to the finished product compared to tipped jobs I've seen, but you have to be within 2 feet to notice the difference. For my old boat, definitely worth the time savings. I can still see the reflection of the clouds in the sky, good 'nuff :)
I have have nothing but love for my Harken MKIII roller furling. Super solid. Reefing mid-channel in 20+ knots puts a ton of pressure on the furling drum, but zero problems. I love it. Here's a link to the manual on my sailing website:

If you can read...it's all in the info...just press the ARROW!!!!! Nice job of explaining what you did!!
Rick Davey Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I feel no one knows how to click the website link in this video's description, haha. I spent a lot of time documenting this whole process!
Nice job!!!
Wow, looks great
No it doesn't.
Wow, your good.
No he's not.
Is this boat you privately own and how many layer of your topcoats? I worked as a painter myself and my boss will definitely wring my ear with that kind of speed. Nonetheless your work is flawless
I know this is an old video, but damn good job man! Im fixin to paint some dark blue trim on the houseboat. I gotta check into this Awlgrip stuff. Thanks for the video!
We just gonna ignore the fact that the bird flew right into the side of the boat.!? 😂😂😂
Funny as.
That video lasts 1 min 25 seconds. We never get sunny spells quite that long in the UK....... ( he jests)
It looks a great finish, I wonder how that paint would sit on an x300 jaguar.
I wanna paint my car with this technique but may also use the "dip" technique: roller and brush
It would look awesome as I've used both awl grip and sterling coatings on motor homes, motorcycle helmets, dune buggy cage, several yachts of course, cabinets you get the idea , all roll n tip
Jerry Kellerman Thank you.
Have a good new year.
What outside temperature did you do this at
looks good!
A lot easier and prettier to spray. But if u r in a boat yard they want u to wrap the hull to make it hard on u.
What kind of painting roll do you use?
The correct one that doesn't delaminate and leave bits of fluff in the 2 part paint I hope that is.
Some People's in comments look possessed with the brush tip 😂 I think this results look satisfying enough to not use the brush.
Looks great
Wtf …. Your a gid damn pro!
Mines the same colour , ya Gunna get really hot inside .
Good job
Hello, Very nice work, could you tell me the paint mark and the reference.
Thank you
Gruss aus thailand. Ich habe meinen gaffelkutter auch gerollert
Is this gel coat or paint? Incredibly good job of rollering! Thx!
Awlgrip paint. It's all in the prep! See sailorslifeforme.com/maintenance/paint-gelcoat-oil-varnish/top-paint/ for details
you missed a bit
Seme nice and brilliamo without lines and boubles
how did i get lost in this confusion please....
Awesome! How many coats bro?
Two
i cannot get that paint to work, yours looks great..flag blue is tough
Did you check out my website to see the prep involved? Light wind and overcast is best, and constantly adjusting the viscosity with the Awlgrip recommended thinner is key to prevent runs (too thin) and bubbles (too thick).
@@SailorsLifeForMe your right the viscosity is my problem, i keep getting the edge of the roller leaving to much, and it is humid here, thanks for the advice your work looks great
Who’s brushing the top where the roller can’t get to and the bottom
No brush needed on the sides. I taped the edges with blue painter's tape as you can see in the video. The aft section needed a brush for the tight spots, then a smaller roller to fit around the chain plate and thru-hulls, so I used a 4" roller with velvet nap.
See the website for a list of products used, prices, more videos and details on my method.

That's exactly how it's done folks,,,. A true Artisan that was taught buy a old journeyman artisan,,. !!! You always start one third down two courses over,,. When you can hear the roller your dry rolling,,. You must back roll before it starts to dry out,,. Some people can watch and still never pick up the tricks of the trade,,. It takes hands-on experience,,,. Every paint is different even the time of day in the Sun,,. Humidity,,. The amount of thinner,,. You'll need more or less within an hour of starting,,,. You cannot put it in words to tell someone or show someone,,,. Experience,,, experience,,, experience,,. !!! After you paint your entire house,, three separate coats,,,. Then and only then will you be a amateur painter,,. ???
I'm thinking he was dry rolling to do a thin first coat to stop peeling
Can I ask what size and type of roller you are using? Did you have problems with the roller falling apart at all?
West Marine foam rollers, 7". The paint is so thin, almost like water, so no problems falling apart. Each roller got a little old after about 20' of application, so I ended up using 4 of them for 2 coats on my 39' boat. Check out the application details at sailorslifeforme.com/maintenance/paint-gelcoat-oil-varnish/top-paint/
Aren't you suppose to follow up with a brush behind the roller?
I thought so, too, but I tested the process on the transom first and rolling without tipping actually came out smoother. And much faster!
Yes
@@SailorsLifeForMe Bollocks, you weren't doing it right.
Ya wanna come paint mine...
jotun is better than awlgrip and have more gloss and duravility.
How's he doing this? Painting in the sun usually causes the paint to dry immediately leaving marks and just rolling paint leaves bubbles without tipping! What type of paint is he using?
This is Awlgrip, rolled on in small batches. When the bubbles started showing up, it means some thinner has evaporated. Add a touch more and mix well. That's how I kept the perfect viscosity.

U can buff it too.well one brand of awl grip.
Donde puedo comprar esa pintura en España
Full step by step ??? yaa right, more like a couple full swipes of a roller....wowwww !!
Too difficult to say - with Awlgrip you can get an amazing result....after 2-3 coats, even for the 1st timer.

Nice job! What size nap do you recommend
I listed all the specific items I used on the website listed in the description. West System yellow Foam Roller for the final coats of Awlgrip.
what size nap mmmm about half an hour is usual.
No nap, proper foam roller, make sure it's compatible with lp
What color blue is that love it what brand
That site you have everyone doesn't work

What about tipping off
I debated that... But after doing a test section, there were no bubbles to tip off. With AwlGrip and a foam roller, no tipping required! Finish was glassy.
Hi Mate, I'm doing some research prior to painting my boat and came across your video, can you tell me what paint you used and do you have a photo of the completed job? Was it 1 pack or 2 pack awlgrip?

Do anyone if you guys have a pictures of finish results?
what kind of roller is that?
7" Foam Roller from West Marine. Here's the shopping list and detailed instructions:

@@SailorsLifeForMe thanks
Is that the TotalBoat flag blue?
Awlgrip Carinthia Blue
@@SailorsLifeForMe would you say that paint lasts? Have you seen any cracking or chipping?
Also, where did you but the paint?
@@rjm2010 Now it's 6 years after the paint job and it's held up really well. I gave the wood dock a fair hit once, but no cracking or chipping on the paint. It does have a bit of dusting, similar to fiberglass sitting in the sun for years. And the fender rubbed areas are dirty looking, but it looks to be caked on rubber from the fender. Acetone doesn't get it, but I haven't gone to the extreme of scraping it off. The mirror gloss is still there after washing with soap and water, which is pretty impressive. I've done zero maintenance to it other than a rinse with soap and water ever few months or so. I'm still very happy with it.
@@rjm2010 Pacific Shipyards International. It's all on the website.
What type of roller? Foam? Nap?

Wow
Attempt to ruin the paint @ 00:51
Haha, I never even noticed that thing! BAM! Just missed the paint.
Nice orange peel finish there..... For god's sake people, stop watching amateurs on RUclips and go learn how to do it properly. You MUST use a brush as well when rollering paint on, it doesn't take long, just two or three of those roller applications then lay it off with a brush, I did my 33ft steel double ender alone, deep glossy mirror finish not a moonscape like a roller leaves.
Don’t always need a brush. If thinned enough and conditions are good, it will flow out.
Epifanes polyurethane does not need to be tipped off as long as you thin properly with their flow agent. Mirror finish and no bubbles. One part paint dies requir a tip off tho
I used this exact technique with alexseal using roll addarive and it came out better then the boat next to me which was spayed. Roll and tipping is a technique of the past. The backrolling with the same roller does the same effect. Come take a look at my boat if you are on the east coast its flawless. I can read a license plate off it with photos to prove it
