The finishing process of a wooden boat makes all the difference in its appearance and helps protect the wood for a long time when done correctly. While many people focus on stain and varnish, paint also plays an important role and it takes skill to paint a wooden boat at an expert level.
In the sections to follow, we will explain our painting process by answering a few common questions from our clients.
Does My Wooden Boat Need Paint?
The allure of many wooden boats is the exposed, natural wood which adorns the hull, deck and other areas of the vessel. While many people focus on the wood, and some seek an all-wood finish, there are instances where paint is essential for the boat’s performance (and helpful for its aesthetics). The amount of paint on the boat is up to the owner, but in most instances wooden boats have painted hulls at or below the water line and a few painted accents, at a minimum. The paint along the bottom, when appropriately applied, adds a layer of protection to the wood which will regularly be submerged.
What Goes Into the Painting Process?
We’re pros at wooden boat painting, and we do it the right way. We sand down the boat until there is a good surface to paint and then we apply several coats to ensure a uniform look and adequate protection. From there, we add protectants and varnish where applicable, and our paint jobs typically stand the test of time because of the care we put into each project. Instead of going a cheaper route and having to paint more often, having your paint done by a professional will yield a better look and it will last much longer.
