My e-25 is now ready for paint after literally weeks of prepping and sanding. After this much work, any cost differences in paint are irrelevant. I want the absolute longest lasting, most durable stuff I can get. I don't want to do this again for many, many years, if ever.
Where I live, we have West Marine in several locations. For interlux paint, Its an easy run to the store to get the paint I need, but they don't sell Awlgrip. Even the clerk at the store sheepishly told me that Awlgrip is a better paint. Is this really true, or is this a common opinion because Awlgrip has been around the industry longer. The Interlux perfection appears to be the same type of 2 part polyurethane product. I wouldn't even consider it except that I will have to fedex the other paint and thinners in from another source. Kind of sucks for me if I run low of anything in the process.
Has anyone had experience in both of these paint types?
By the way, I'm spraying. I hear all this talk about awesome results with roller and tip or brush. That would make my life easier probably but I've never seen a brushed on car finished that I didn't laugh at.
