Gelcoat Fiberglass Paint Repair
Florida boats face some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Blazing sun and high temperatures take their toll on your boats exterior surfaces. If not taken care of properly, gelcoat and paint become dull and cloudy, eventually wearing away to expose the fiberglass below.
Additionally, dock rash, running aground, or bumping into other boats all add to the damage done to your gelcoat over time. Sometimes the damage is so great. it exposes the raw fiberglass below. When this happens, you must take action to prevent any further damage.
Our Restoration Manager, Joe Nguyen will oversee all of your gelcoat, fiberglass, and paint repairs to ensure a completed repair that looks like it never happened.
