Awl-Cat # 2 Spray Converter G3010
Awlgrip G3010 Spray Converter is the standard converter used with Awlcraft 2000 and Awlcraft 3000 topcoats for professional spray applications. G3010 is commonly mixed at a 2:1 ratio with Awlcraft topcoats and is designed to deliver excellent flow, gloss retention, DOI (Distinctness of Image), and repairability.
G3010 is also commonly referenced in certain Awlgrip application systems, though traditional Awlgrip Topcoat systems typically use a 1:1 converter ratio and 2:1 for Awlcraft. Always reference the latest Awlgrip technical data sheets for your exact coating system.
This spray converter is widely used in marine refinishing, yacht painting, boat repair, and high-end composite finishing applications where professional-grade appearance and durability are required.

Awlgrip G3010 Spray Converter for Awlcraft 2000 & Awlcraft 3000
Awlgrip G3010 Spray Converter is a professional-grade converter engineered for use with Awlcraft 2000 and Awlcraft 3000 polyurethane topcoat systems. Designed specifically for spray applications, G3010 helps provide exceptional gloss, flow characteristics, DOI (Distinctness of Image), color consistency, and long-term appearance retention in demanding marine environments.
G3010 is one of the most commonly used converters in the Awlcraft system and is frequently chosen by boat builders, yacht refinishers, marine paint professionals, and fiberglass repair facilities looking for a premium sprayed finish.
Common Mixing Ratios
Awlcraft 2000 & Awlcraft 3000
For most standard spray applications, G3010 is mixed at:
- 2 Parts Topcoat : 1 Part G3010 Converter
Reducers such as T0001, T0002, T0003, or T0005 may then be added depending on temperature, humidity, and spray conditions.
Awlgrip Topcoat Systems
Traditional Awlgrip Topcoat systems often utilize different converter systems and application ratios depending on whether the coating is being sprayed, brushed, or rolled and tipped. Some Awlgrip systems reference a 1:1 converter relationship depending on the activator and coating combination being used.
Always verify your exact mix ratio using the current Awlgrip Technical Data Sheet for your specific product and application method.
