What does Fountain use to Paint the bilge area in a 2007 42 Ex?
Is it Awlgrip or something?? Just wondering because the Factory stuff seems to be stained in a couple spots and I would like to touch up here and there.

I called fountain on this exact question - they told me it was Awlgrip white - I asked them what the paint code was and they said it didnt have one - well, there are about 7 shades of white in awlgrips color chips and guess what - they all have paint codes. Get the chip and match it up or do what I did - go to Boat US and get some Interlux Bilgecoat White. It is not a perfect match but it will work for touch up.

35,
Is the Interlux Bilgecoat White from Boat US catalyzed or does it take forever to dry??

No hardner necessary and it dries pretty quick if your just using a little for touch up - like about 1/2 hour. Again - it is not a perfect match but it is cheap and it works great for a little spot here and a little spot there. Use a match for a brush.
