Your powerboat's finish is more than aesthetics - it's protection against harsh marine environments. At Powerboat Restored, we specialize in both modern sprayed finishes and traditional rolled-and-tipped applications, delivering results that combine stunning appearance with long-lasting durability .Based in Devizes and serving powerboat owners across Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, and Devon, we offer comprehensive painting services with our convenient collection service from any marina or location.
Modern spray application delivers the sleek, flawless finish that contemporary powerboats demand. Our spray booth facility ensures controlled conditions for optimal results.
Benefits of Sprayed Finishes:
Mirror-smooth surface with no brush marks or texture • Uniform colour depth and consistent coverage • Faster application for larger surface areas • Professional appearance matching manufacturer standards • Excellent durability with proper preparation and quality coating
Our Spray Process:
We use only premium marine-grade paints formulated specifically for the demanding conditions powerboats face. Brands like International, Awlgrip, and Jotun provide the durability your investment deserves.
For classic powerboats or owners who appreciate traditional methods, rolled-and-tipped application delivers authentic results with character and proven longevity.
Why Choose Traditional Finishes:
Authentic appearance for vintage and classic powerboats • Easier touch-up and maintenance over the boat's lifetime • Proven durability with decades of marine heritage • Cost-effective for certain restoration budgets • DIY-friendly for future owner maintenance This time-honoured method requires skill and patience. Paint is applied with a roller, then immediately "tipped" with a fine brush to smooth the surface. The result is a beautiful, slightly textured finish that's distinctly traditional.
Choose Sprayed Finishes If:• Your powerboat is modern or contemporary in design • You want the smoothest possible surface • You're preparing for sale and want maximum visual impact • Your boat will be displayed or shown competitively • You prefer low-maintenance finishes
Choose Rolled & Tipped If: Your powerboat is vintage or classic • You appreciate traditional craftsmanship aesthetics • You plan to maintain the finish yourself long-term • Budget is a primary consideration • You want authentic period-correct restoration Still unsure? We provide honest recommendations based on your specific powerboat, its condition, intended use, and your goals. No pressure, just expert guidance.
Collection & Initial Assessment
We collect your powerboat from any marina or location across our service area. Upon arrival at our Devizes workshop, we conduct a detailed assessment of the existing finish, identifying any underlying issues that need addressing.Surface PreparationGreat finishes start with great preparation. We strip existing paint or gelcoat as needed, repair any surface damage, fill and fair to create smooth surfaces, and sand progressively through multiple grits. This stage often takes longer than the actual painting - but it's where quality is truly built.
Primer Application
Multiple primer coats build a solid foundation, filling minor imperfections and creating the ideal surface for topcoats. We sand between coats for optimal adhesion and smoothness.
Colour Application
Whether spraying or rolling-and-tipping, we apply your chosen colour in controlled conditions. Multiple coats ensure depth of colour and complete coverage.
Protection & Finishing
Clear protective coats shield your new finish from UV damage, salt water, and environmental wear. Final polishing brings out the full depth and gloss.Quality Control & ReturnBefore returning your powerboat, we conduct thorough quality checks under various lighting conditions.
