I?m going to Awlgrip my mast and boom and I would like to choose some ?natural wood ? color.
On the Awlgrip color chart I can find only one yellow (Federal Yellow) that seems too choking.
Does anyone can give the color reference or color mix normaly used?
Regards,
If you are interested, Imron has new two part urethane formulated for brush applications.

Luis,
I had Xiphias hull repainted with Awlgrip in 2008. The unadulterated white would have been too glossy for my taste so we put 50% Awlgrip flattening agent to give more of a satin finish. This kept the classic look. Mixing paint may also be possible but bear in mind that Awlgrip is expensive and touchup might not be easy.

I had Federal Yellow paint already, so went with it when I repainted. It’s a bit much, but it certainly is easy to pick out or point out your boat in a crowded anchorage.
Federal Yellow, like cheese, does get better with age.
According to a can of spare paint which came with the boat and which I’ve been using for touch up, Itchen’s mast is “IMRON 5.0 VOC 7863H Bahama Yellow (Code DT6397 – 1973 Chrysler)” mixed by Paint World in 2003. Probably not exactly the same as an Awlgrip color, but perhaps useful as a starting point in looking for an equivalent.
