I painted my 27 last year. At 4-6 to paint a 27 I honestly couldn't understand how you could make any money. Yes the materials cost a good chunk but the labor involved is unbelievable until you do it. Time is money.

Sounds cheap to me. If you want to save money you may want to consider having a wrap done instead.

Removing the stripe is probably a lot of labor to do it right, and a big chunk of the cost. Not sure the "shapes" of the stripes, but you could consider getting them painted a more modern color instead. That would be a lot less labor and less money.

When I had my Donzi painted, I stripped it down myself. Use grease/wax remover and scuffed everything with a scotch brite pad. So, when I brought it to the painter her just had to tape and shoot. Boat was straight with only one gouge in the side which he fixed. Doing all that work myself saved me a ton of money.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/f...removal-2.html That was one I did.I usually do 1 a year and that is enuff for me. It all depends how the bootom was prepped . Was it sanded or primed and how many years of bottom paint and what kind of paint did they use.
