Boating Tips: Gel Coat vs Paint and Wraps

Paints

Most larger boats that you see with vibrant colors are painted in that fashion. While being a little bit on the pricey side, however, when you paint a boat, you tend to get very vibrant colors in a wide array of options.

Gel Coat

More common on smaller vessel, gel coats typically don’t give you as many options as paint, but they offer a degree of sun protection as well as durability vs traditional marine paint.

Wraps

If you want to add your own, unique flair to your boat, and save a little money rather than paying for a custom paint job, then a wrap is the way to go. A wrap can be anything from a company logo to a design of your choosing. Eventually, when you are ready to sell or trade in your vessel, you can have the wrap peeled off to reveal the boat’s original hull.
