Two-Part Linear Polyurethane Enamel, Gallon
Many professionals consider Awlgrip Two-Part Linear Polyurethane to be the benchmark by which other topcoats are measured.
Famous for its high gloss and chip-resistant durability, Awlgrip two-part polyurethane enamel provides resin-rich, clean, bright color. May be applied by brush, spray or roller when used with the appropriate converters. Awlgrip paints are lead-free and comply with Federal regulations. Recommended only for professional applicators using proper safety equipment. Alwgrip Two-Part Linear Polyurethane should not be applied below the waterline. Once it cures, it requires very little maintenance and should not be waxed, buffed, compounded or polished.

Converters
Awlgrip two-part painting systems require the mixing of a base and a converter. Converters are sold separately.
For spray applications, Awlgrip is mixed in a ratio of 1:1, one part base to one part converter. (G3010).
For brush applications, Awlgrip is mixed in a ratio of 2:1, two parts base to 1 part converter. (H3002).
Both types of converters are listed below:
| Use | Description | AWLGP# | Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| For Spray: G3010 | Awl-Cat #2 Spray Converter-Quart | G3010/1QTUS | 339523 |
