Marine Painting Services

For a luxury yacht finish on your new boat or a re-paint on your current vessel, talk to the marine coating specialists.

Marine painting is a complex task that requires the professionals

Marine Reflections are leaders in the boat painting industry and specialise in a wide range of coating applications within the marine environment. We consistently achieve the highest possible standards of finish using the latest techniques and paint technology combined with our strict quality control methods and attention to detail.

Preparation is key
To achieve the best results from the paint, the preparation needs to be precise and flawless.  Any unevenness in the fairing becomes obvious once paint is applied. Any dust or contamination on surfaces can cause the paint adhesiveness to deteriorate or cause chemical reactions within the coating.

Knowledge and Expertise
Painting your boat is a technical undertaking and product knowledge is a key part of the process. Certain products may not adhere together well, therefore when re-painting your vessel it is important that whoever is preparing the boat is also painting it. This ensures the products used will be cohesive and workmanship consistent to achieve a high-quality result.

The right coat for your vessel

The experienced Marine team will ensure you get the best finish for your vessel and ensure it keeps looking show-boat good year after year with regular scheduled maintenance.

Fairing & Hull Preparation

Fairing is the process of filling holes, scratches and shallow voids, reshaping contours or grinding down bumps to blend and prepare the boat hull prior to painting.

Excellent preparation is the key to an excellent paint finish. Our highly dedicated team have years of experience and a keen eye to ensure the highest quality results are achieved consistently, every time.

Anti-Foul Painting

Any boat, launch or yacht that is moored in seawater can collect marine pests in the growth (biofouling) that builds up on the bottom of the vessel. Anti-fouling paints are a range of specialised underwater hull paints that are applied as the outer layer to the hull of a ship or boat to slow the growth and/or help remove subaquatic organisms that attach to a hull which can affect a vessel’s performance and durability.

Anti-foul coatings should be applied annually or if the paint has been scraped or damaged, or if persistent fouling is occurring. Marine Reflections are experts in boat maintenance and can haul, clean, prepare and apply anti-foul to your vessel as part of a regular maintenance schedule.

Maintenance – Lifting & Washing

Your vessel is an asset that will require regular maintenance. Ideally you should haul and wash your boat every 3 – 6 months and prior to travelling between harbours.

Some harbours require vessels to have been recently cleaned before visiting to prevent the spread of marine pests. Marine Reflections can haul out and wash your boat in our facility that contains and treats the wash-off, ensuring you are all set for your next boating adventure.

Maintenance – Exterior Surfaces

Gel-coat surfaces will naturally oxidise and will get a chalky appearance if a simple cut and wax is not performed annually. Once a gel-coat begins to oxidise, surface deterioration speeds up dramatically.

A lot of people think that if you leave a gel-coat surface for three years it will just cut and polish back to a satisfactory standard. This is not the case. If you leave a gel-coat surface for three years it typically takes 4 to 5 times longer to restore (and is more expensive) than by doing an annual cut and polish as part of a regular maintenance schedule.
