Blackline has set a high standard for yacht refinishing for over 25 years. Whether FRP (fiberglass), aluminum, steel or wood, we can fair and refinish to better than new. How do we achieve really great results?
- Well Trained technicians working with quality equipment
- Heated and well ventilated shops
- A commitment to doing it right
Blackline's paint system of choice is Awlgrip™. We work closely with Awlgrip™ representatives through special training seminars and job by job consultation to ensure your satisfaction.
All deck coatings have been removed and anti-corrosive primers applied. Epoxy fairing materials are being applied to surfaces.
After fairing, high build primers, and surface primers, multiple coats of Awlgrip™ polyurethane topcoats are sprayed. Here the smooth sections of the deck are sprayed and masking of the nonskid is underway.
Hulls can be more challenging to paint than decks. When you look down the side of a hull there can be a number of deficiencies: bulkheads, shelves and stiffeners pressing on the surface, roving or reinforcement print-through, or mold and fairing problems.On light coloured hulls this can go unnoticed, especially if the hull has lost its gloss. If however the hull is a dark colour, then these are usually very apparent. Getting rid of these problems requires refairing of the hull sides, starting with longboards and a coarse grit sandpaper, followed with high-build epoxy primers. Although, some hulls require refairing with epoxy fillers as well. After the high-build is sanded fair, epoxy surfacing primers are sprayed on and sanded, followed by topcoating with 4-5 coats of polyurethane topcoats.
