Boat Colour Change: What to Know for a New Identity

Changing your boat's topside colour: the process, what to watch and tips for a lasting result.

A colour change gives a boat an entirely new identity. But a good result is more than choosing the colour; it takes the right system and workmanship.

The process

The existing surface is assessed, prepared and the right primer system applied. Primer is critical in a colour change because it determines the new colour's coverage and adhesion. Then multi-coat paint is applied.

Beware dark colours

Dark colours look elegant but heat up more in the sun and show every flaw. When choosing dark, surface prep matters even more; heat can also affect the material beneath.

A lasting result

A colour change is usually done in 2K polyurethane. Names and graphics also need replanning for the new colour.
