What did I write about corrostion protection? Didn't I specify SPI as different. How many ships have you painted?
All I mentioned was UV. I wont argue about below water surfaces where there is no sunlight, but not above. that is why they are referred to bridge lines and you know if they used poly they would have to scuff the entire thing before it broke down not just paint over it again. You must be referring to the dull powdering gray ships that get repainted every 3 years or the yachts that use polyurethane? I know what they paint yachts with, we are required to paint the surveillance equipment with the same Awl Grip coating they use on those.
actually my response wasnt for you. that was for benklesc. sorry
he had asked about corrosion protection which is what i am referring to. not uv durability or chalking. you are right, awlgrip is a great finish for marine but the first step for that is their 545 epoxy primer to provide the adhesion and if on metal the corrosion protection. they dont even have a polyester primer. even their high build surfacing primer is epoxy.
