Service
Paint Repair
Touch-up, blending, and full panel refinishing on marine paint.
What's included
What this service covers.
Marine paint lives a harder life than almost any other coating — full sun year-round, salt, fuel spills, and constant flex from a hull moving through water. A paint repair that holds up on the water starts with understanding the existing system, prepping correctly, and choosing a compatible topcoat. Shortcuts at any of those steps show up as peel or fade within a season.
- Chips, scratches, and fading on painted hulls
- Failed or peeling paint from earlier jobs
- UV damage and chalking
- Blending into panels that can't be fully repainted
Materials we use
- LPU and polyurethane marine topcoats
- Epoxy and high-build primers for proper adhesion
- Flex additives where the repair area moves under load
- Compatible reducers for spray conditions
- Color formulas matched to the boat via on-site spectrophotometer sampling where needed
Our process
From damage assessment to finished repair.
Four steps. No surprises. You know what's happening at every stage, what it costs, and what to expect when you pick up the boat.
Step 01
Consultation
Send photos and a few details. We assess the damage honestly — including whether a quick fix is enough, or whether the right answer is a more involved structural repair.
Step 02
Prep
Strip back to sound material on a proper scarf. Identify and address the root cause, not just the visible damage. No cosmetic patches over structural problems.
Step 03
Repair
Rebuild with the correct cloth, mat, and resin schedule for the load path. Vinyl ester or epoxy where it matters; polyester only where it's the right call.
Step 04
Finish
Fair, prime, and refinish in color-matched gelcoat or marine paint. The repair should disappear into the surrounding surface under normal light.
Typical timeline: Spot paint repairs are typically 2–5 shop days including cure time. Panel refinishes run 5–10 days. Full hull or deck repaints are project-scoped with a written timeline before the boat comes in.
