Painting & Coatings FAQ

How much does yacht painting cost in Phuket?

+

Antifouling starts from $2,500 for a 30-40ft vessel. A full Awlgrip hull respray on a 50-foot motoryacht typically costs $35,000-50,000. Topside painting ranges from $5,000-25,000 depending on size. Phuket rates are 30-50% below European yards.

How long does a full hull respray take?

+

A complete hull respray takes 4-8 weeks depending on vessel size and condition. This includes stripping, fairing, primer coats, topcoat application and curing time. We never rush curing stages as it compromises the finish.

Which paint system do you recommend?

+

For superyachts and premium finishes, Awlgrip delivers the highest gloss and durability. Jotun offers excellent value with strong tropical performance. International Paint provides reliable systems for all vessel types. We recommend based on your vessel, budget and intended use.
