We improve antifouling adhesion on your boat’s hull to protect it and reduce the risk of fouling
+ About us
Polyester and carbon are materials that deteriorate over time due to exposure to seawater and UV rays.
Over the years, hulls, decks, and carbon masts lose their shine and show signs of wear.
Polishing can delay material aging, but its effects are short-lived.
Only painting offers an effective and long-lasting solution.
In this area, SMN CHANTIER NAVAL DE PORT GRIMAUD has gained strong expertise and applies high-quality marine paints from brands like AWLGRIP, STOPPANI, and INTERNATIONAL, offering a wide range of color options
Meticulous preparation is essential.
Once the boat is protected, surfaces are either sanded or blasted, depending on their condition.
A primer is often applied to ensure proper paint adhesion.
Next, several layers of polyester or epoxy filler are applied, depending on the material.
Long hours of sanding follow to restore the hull’s original shapes and curves.
Then comes the actual painting process:
A base coat is applied first, followed by several coats of paint or varnish, bringing gloss and depth to the hull.
Lettering options :
To perfect the finish, SMN CHANTIER NAVAL DE PORT GRIMAUD offers a wide range of materials and font styles for your boat’s name, usually in adhesive vinyl film.
We can also create custom lettering in polished or brushed stainless steel, or plexiglass, with the option of colored LED integration to shine at night.
Hydro-blasting :
Thanks to exclusive equipment in the region, we remove antifouling layers without damaging the surface, allowing the application of a paint that enhances your boat’s speed.
Leave our yard with a hull that looks brand new.
