The Advantages of Workshop Spray Painting for Superyachts
Spray painting a sailing yacht boom, large exterior panel or removable superstructure component in a shipyard requires a properly enclosed working area, suitable ventilation and protection from dust and overspray. For larger components, this can mean constructing extensive temporary tenting before surface preparation or coating application can begin.
At Absolute Boat Care, our 600 m² workshop in Palma de Mallorca houses three spray booths, allowing us to undertake paint and varnish work away from the yacht and the day-to-day activity of a busy shipyard.
Avoiding Expensive Shipyard Tenting
Painting large components in the yard often requires temporary enclosures to protect the work from dust, wind and other activities taking place nearby.
Constructing these enclosures takes time, occupies valuable yard space and adds to the overall cost of the project. Weather conditions can also delay preparation, application and curing.
By transporting suitable components to our workshop, we can carry out the work in a dedicated painting environment without the expense and disruption of building temporary tenting around the item.
Better Access for Preparation and Painting
Removing components from the yacht allows our team to position them for easier access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
This is particularly useful for booms and other large or awkwardly shaped items, where working around fittings, edges and recessed sections requires careful preparation.
It also allows the team to inspect the entire component, identify areas requiring additional attention and complete the finishing work before it is returned to the vessel.
A More Predictable Finishing Schedule
With components in our workshop, painting and varnishing can continue independently of other work taking place onboard.+
Our spray booths provide a cleaner, more controlled environment for coating application and curing, reducing the likelihood of contamination and weather-related interruptions.
This also gives captains and yacht managers greater flexibility when coordinating multiple contractors during a refit or maintenance period.
Collection, Finishing and Delivery
Absolute Boat Care can arrange collection of removable yacht components, undertake the necessary preparation and finishing in our Palma workshop, and return the completed items to the yacht.
For captains and yacht managers planning paint or varnish work, moving suitable components off the vessel can simplify the project considerably, particularly when shipyard space, access and scheduling are already under pressure.
