The Mastery of Metallic yacht Paints
In yacht finishing, Metallic Paints embody the fusion of art and science. This intricate process involves a two-part application, encompassing a Base coat and a Clear coat. Choosing the right exterior paint and applying it correctly are pivotal in achieving the perfect finish. It requires the harmonious use of various paint types to ensure robust adhesion and an exquisite, high-gloss shine.
Our craftsmen have a proven track record in understanding specification sheets for metallic paint products, ensuring meticulous mixing and application. Precise paint blending is the cornerstone of our success.
At Foster’s Yacht Services, we lead the yachting industry with a comprehensive suite of professional services that meet your exacting standards, all delivered with excellence at affordable rates.
Surface Preparation
Our process starts with rigorous surface preparation, including thorough cleaning, sanding, and priming. Primer lays the essential foundation, enhancing paint adhesion, and guarding against moisture intrusion, which can lead to oxidation and rust.
Base Coat Paints (Metallic)
The base coat is the foundational colored paint layer, free from strengtheners or hardeners and lacking gloss. To protect it and achieve a radiant shine, it requires a clear coat or urethane base coat. The synergy of these coats enhances the shine and surface protection.
Clear Coat Finishes
Clear coat paint, often referred to as a clear coat finish, is pigment-free paint. It uses specialized chemicals for seamless adherence to the painted surface. These formulations typically include UV inhibitors to protect against sunlight-induced fading. Often composed of urethane or polyurethane, they deliver a brilliant high-gloss finish.
