Boat re-paint suggestions
Hi guys
I'm looking to get my Barcrusher 560C repainted.
Dos anyone have any recommendations for an auto or marine painter who could assist?
I don't mind if I have to take the boat somewhere or if the person can do it with a spraygun onsite even better!
Cheers

Strip it and leave it bare. Atleast then you'll see any electrolysis and corrosion immediately. Plate boats look better bare and it's only a backcrusher

Depending on what you want painted, might be a good option to put a wrap on it....let your imagination go wild

Re: Boat re-paint suggestions
if its only the sides that you want done...wrap it...
If its the top deck and sides...then look at painting... but it wont be cheap because its a huge job.
but even a decent wrap is a coupla thousand

Re: Boat re-paint suggestions
Well clearly you're unhappy with the current paint job on an at worst 15 year old boat to want to spend thousands of a respray... Not to mention it's a point of difference going bare given every single backcrusher or surtees is painted. It's not some multi-million dollar super yacht with intricate airbrushed details in the paint, it's a run of the mill sheets of aluminum welded together boat...Kestrel wrote:Oh thank you so much cobby for your insightful, educated, and very useful contribution! :icon_lolz:cobby wrote:Strip it and leave it bare.

Re: Boat re-paint suggestions
I remember trade a boat used robaust (now WalZed) on their 19r rebuild. Might be worth a look up. If my memory serves me right Brendan Wing works there, he will know a thing or two about bar crushers!
