Sceptre Paint Job $$$
I'm restoring a '76 Sceptre from gel coat up. I have received an estimate from my yard for a complete Imron paint job inside and out. I have removed the hardware and done most of the sanding. The yard will have to do some more glass work to get everything fair. When I'm done, I should be better than new inside & out. Does anyone have experience pricing a job like this?? This yard has a great reputation in our area for their paint work but I'm wondering if they're over estimating the cost. Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
I just got off the phone with a friend and my prices were from 5 years ago. Now here yards are getting $150 to $200 a foot for a full hull painting. A scratch and shoot type job is now $75 to $100 a foot. Now I wonder why I stopped painting boats.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
I got quote on my 23 CC 2 ½ yrs ago from $4,000 to 6,000 I painted it myself for approx $1,000 in and out. Came out looking pretty good and if you don’t like the last coat you can either paint it again or hire someone to put the last coat on for you.

If you want to learn I will teach YOU how to do it, and then after the job is done I will smile at the camera and confirm YOU did a good job.

Re: Sceptre Paint Job $$$
Fellowship-
what kind of paint did you use inside and out? did you spray or roll and tip? Also what did you use to make the recessed storage area in the top of your Consel? Strick

I used Sterling paint both inside and out. The only exception was the bottom of the hull I gel coated. I used the roll and tip method.
