Awlgrip & Alexseal Painting →How We Prepare & Paint a Boat or Yacht
A high-quality marine paint finish begins long before the final coat is applied. RD Yacht Refinishing follows a complete process of inspection, preparation, repair, fairing, priming and finishing based on the condition of each vessel.
Inspection & Project Planning
The existing hull, topsides and painted surfaces are evaluated to determine the condition of the coating, underlying substrate and areas requiring repair or additional preparation.
Masking & Protection
Hardware, windows, adjacent surfaces and other areas not being refinished are carefully protected before sanding, fairing, priming or painting begins.
Surface Preparation
Existing surfaces are cleaned, sanded and prepared to remove contamination, deteriorated coatings and surface defects while creating the proper foundation for the coating system.
Surface Preparation Services →Fiberglass Repair & Fairing
Cracks, fiberglass damage, low areas and surface irregularities are addressed as needed before painting. Fairing helps restore smooth contours and provides the uniform surface required for a professional finish.
Priming & Final Preparation
The appropriate marine primer system is applied based on the substrate and coating specification. Primer surfaces are then prepared for the final finish coats.
Marine Finish Coating
The selected finish system is applied to the prepared surface. RD works with professional yacht coating systems including Awlgrip and Alexseal for boat and yacht refinishing projects.

Once the coating process is complete, the finished surfaces are reviewed and the protected areas are uncovered as the project moves toward completion.
