7 Day Yacht Painter – The Complete Online Painting Course

About Course

Learn one complete marine painting system that removes the guesswork and gives you the confidence to achieve professional-quality paint finishes without relying on expensive trial and error.

 

This comprehensive online course teaches you far more than just how to apply paint. You’ll develop a complete understanding of the entire marine painting process, from selecting the right products and preparing the surface correctly, through to applying topcoats and achieving a flawless final finish.

 

Unlike many tutorials that simply show you what to do, this course explains why each stage is important. By understanding how paints, primers and fillers behave, you’ll be able to make the right decisions for your own project, avoid common mistakes and produce consistent, high-quality results.

 

Filmed during the complete repaint of a wooden powerboat, the techniques taught can be applied to a wide range of boats and marine projects. Whether you’re restoring a classic wooden boat, repainting a GRP hull or refreshing painted components, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to tackle the job successfully.

 

With over 9 hours of professionally filmed video lessons, downloadable resources and lifetime access, this course provides a complete marine painting system that you can return to whenever you need it.

Your advice is very helpful. I'm currently repainting the hull and deck of my sailboat (Cape Henry 21). I also have a client in my workshop who is building a Vaurien, and we're at the hull painting stage. The interior has been varnished (I also took your varnishing course). The hull is currently being finished, and we'll begin painting next week.

Thank you.
