Black Interlux Perfection - $90, 3M Fine line tape - $30, Acetone - $10 Brush - $10 X 2, time to tape and paint 2 coats - 4 hours, 6 if I work real slow. You do the math. Capt. George
Thanks for the reply. A DIY would save some substantial $$$ obviously.
Should probably add that the black gel coat has cracks from what I'm assuming is the black heating up over time so that should equate to some extra prep work. Also, the through-hulls (12) will need to be gone over with this process. Too bad Tiara didn't use SS as the plastic is badly oxidized and probably won't let the paint bond all that well. Not keen on overpaying for anything but am somewhat at the mercy of the yard as the boat is currently on the hard and performing the paint work in the water is not something I'm looking to take on. I also liked the idea that they are going to spray versus brush. Decided to move forward with their quote.
Hopefully this helps other owners with an idea on what they can expect to pay for comparable work.
