Curious what others may have paid lately. I've had quotes from $235 a foot to $300. Not trying to be cheap, but want to see what others may experience for good quality work.
Thx

Mako $999! I remember when Earl Scheib was $29.99. Shout out from any old Clevelanders?Awlgrip is a very nice product. It’s also very hard to work with compared to awlcraft. Around here we have difficulty with finding a paint booth and painting outside with awl grip isn’t a good option. Awlcraft can be sprayed outside because it’s easily repaired and blended so we use that more often. To be clear, if we had a perfect spot we would use awlgrip more.
That being the case of you wanted awlgrip on your 370, I would bid it around 400/ft for a single color but could do awlcraft for 25% less.
Don’t forget the details when/if you decide to do this. Do you want a stripe, do you need new bottom paint, do you want custom touches such as Sea Ray painted in the boot stripe…etc. then the haul and block while it’s out and the wash and wax when it goes back in. When I bid these jobs I always give a price in total so when a Customer gets the boat back it’s what they expect.
Painting a boat is as much about experience and quality as the cost. Similar to cars you can get a 999.00 mako spray and go but you likely wouldn’t want it.

Didn't realize Earl was "coast to coast". My father had a few cars painted by them. I remember helping him prep the car so the paint job came out better the just the standard paint job you'd get for $29.99

I think in the beginning it may been $19.95 and of course as time went on it went up. I wonder when they went out of business?
Another good career path for you now that you’re done fixing medical carts… wrapping boats!!!Why paint? Look into wraps.
