As nat mentioned, I used Alexseal...

Hey Larry,

...and am pleased, so far... Only been about a year, however, so I have no comment re long-term durability...

I chose it because mine was a DIY job, and I'd been advised that Alexseal was quite a bit more forgiving for an amateur to work with, and a bit easier to repair than Awlgrip... Sounds like it's definitely made inroads into the megayacht market, largely for that reason...

But since you're having a pro do yours, you'll probably wind up going with whatever they're most comfortable with... There's a significant learning curve in using these paints, and I suspect a lot of pros are still favoring Awlgrip, simply because of their familiarity with it...

Good luck, look forward to seeing the result, I'm sure you'll be fine with whatever you decide to go with...

best regards,

Jon
