Prep is the job
Old finish is sanded, damage is repaired, and every surface is faired until it is true. Hardware comes off rather than getting taped around. That is the difference between paint that looks good for a decade and paint that chalks in two seasons.
Hull, deck and interior
Exterior hull sides, boot stripes, nonskid decks, consoles, and interior compartments can all be refinished. Color changes and two-tone schemes are welcome — bring a photo of what you want.
Paired with rebuild work
Most paint jobs here are the last step of a bigger restoration, so structural repair and finish work are handled by the same hands and scheduled as one project.
When to call the shop
- Chalky, oxidized or faded gelcoat
- Patchwork repairs that no longer match
- You want a color change or a full refresh
- Finishing off a rebuild or restoration
