Paint Price
 

How much did you all pay to have your boat painted, and non skid. Our is a 1979 23 SeaCraft That is inside, outside, bottom,(paint) and everything else, with awlgrip? We just want a figure so we don't pay to much. Also how big and what kind of boat was it? If you want to tell me but not let anyone else know just send me a PM. Any info even if you just know about how much it should cost would be helpful.

Re: Paint Price
 

It is usually the prep work that will cost the most $. The prices I have seen vary so much it is amazing.

Re: Paint Price
 

All the prep work is done by HermCo. But he is sending it off for painting and non skid. The price the guy gave use to apply the painting and non skid, is way to much we think. Don also thinks it is high, but he says the guys very alot on every paint job they do for him. Thanks.

Re: Paint Price
 

I got a quote of 2k just for the hull alone, prep ready. We get hosed here in the northeast. FL prices seem to be much lower.

Re: Paint Price
 

Like Finster, I just paid $2,000 for an excellent Imron paint job on my 23 hull. This included applying VC-17 to the bottom. I did all the prep, they only to scuff, wipe down and spray.

Re: Paint Price
 

Thanks for the reply's guy's. Kepp them coming.

Re: Paint Price
 

I Had the hull interior and exterior rolled and tipped in Awlgrip and two tone non-skid on the cap. They did all the prep work, as I think they should because they are responsible for the finish product. The work cost $3000, which I thought was a great price and they did a great job.-PF

Re: Paint Price
 

Where was this done at?

Re: Paint Price
 

Does anyone know anywhere in Florida that can paint the hull interior and exterior in awlgrip? Non Skid the inside? From the Orlando to Key West area in Florida? Thank You very much.

Hey Seamaster,

I have a professional restoring my 20'sc at this time and i will have the entire boat repainted at the same time, and i thought he he was very reasonable on his price. Somewhere between $500-$1000, and if i can recall the paint he is using is called Mobilethene, it's a two part poly-urethane, and he said it cost around $100/gal. for this stuff.

if you want to contact him, his name is David Goode, and his number is 561-798-3508. He is in the West Palm Beach area. His website is www.greatwhiteboatco.com. So far I'm please with his work and he keeps me up-to-date!

good luck!

Re: Paint Price
 

Fishtale, Where is this fellow located?? I just had my 20 redone by Target 25, in Magnolia Park across from Venture.
He used awlgrip, I got a real deal from him because he redid everything on the boat, floors, tank, drains etc.But he normally charges 4K for the interior and 2K for the hull. Thats prep, blocking and paint.
When is your boat going to be ready?

Re: Paint Price
 

I had quotes from $4,000 to $6,000 to do my whole boat in and out by professional boat only painters approx 3 years ago. Decided to do it myself with the roll and tip method cost me approx $1,000 and came out pretty good used Sterling Paint.

Re: Paint Price
 

Thanks for the reply's guys. I am contacting everyone that you all have named. Keeo the reply's coming.

Re: Paint Price
 

Just a thought: sometimes the cheapest option can end up costing more in the long run.

Re: Paint Price
 

Bobber,

this guy is located in the acreage out west past beeline hwy and coconut blvd. and in response to Mark, i didn't choose the cheapest route to have the boat redone. I have some pics to show the boat's progress and i'll post them as soon as i can organize them. i was just there today see the boat and to choose the color. And by-the-way the paint he will be using will be from Mobil Paints Industries, called Mothane it's a two part poly-urethane. If anyone thinks the paint brand is moderate please let me know. Ihave another week before paint job.

as far as redoing the boat for what needs to be done and paint job(inside-out)and a 50gal. aluminum tank, new center console and livewell, all comes out to approx. $4,400. I think it's a fair price to pay. In my opinion, from what i've seen so far, this guy is doing a great job!

I'll post some pics and you be the judge!

happy easter to all!! (including Mark!)

Re: Paint Price
 

boat should be done hopefully by mid April!

Re: Paint Price
 

MArk,

the interior will be gelcoated, not painted with Mothane like the exterior.

Basically some of the work being done is patching holes, some glassing here and there, rod holders, some transom work, sides reinforcements, and some soft spots on floor and cap as well, and of course paint job. I saved him some labor by striping down the boat of all hardwares, doors, rubrails, and electricals. i brought the boat bare, except the engine, too heavy!! this guy will work with you to save time and money if you wanted to. I'll post the pics soon!

happy easter!!

Re: Paint Price
 

Call Jose at Princeton Boatworks (Princeton FL near Homestead, FL). He used to work for Bill Potter when the Factory was in Princeton. I have heard nothing but good about him and I am now taking my boat there to be finished. Do not go to Creative Fiberglass. I had the worst experience with him.

You have two PM's. Check you inbox.

Re: Paint Price
 

We have now found a painter for our boat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Paint Price
 

I have seen a 26' Seaway on Block Island that has as two part exterior green paint job put on by a roller. Outside, in the gravel parking lot at the Hog Pen! The resulting job looks fine to my eye. What about it? If this is an example, could exterior work be done by the owner?

Re: Paint Price
 

I think I saw John from Shipshape apply that to his yellow Seabird, I think it's called roll and tip, you roll on the paint and another person immediately passes a good quality brush over the surface in one direction. Looks good after it dries!

Re: Paint Price
 

I did my 23 CC in my drive way with the method described above. Works great only difference is on my boat I first rolled a area and then brushed it myself. You can do it without help if you don’t do the roller part over 3 to 4 ft at a time.
