Expert Marine Coatings for Lasting Protection and Luxury Finish
There's nothing quite like the shine of a freshly painted hull gliding through Sydney Harbour. Whether you own a private yacht, manage a ferry fleet, or run a commercial vessel, the constant exposure to saltwater, sun, and weather demands one thing, professional care.
At Painters Link, we specialise in boat, yacht, and ferry painting and varnishing services designed for Australian marine conditions. Using Dulux Marine, International Paints (AkzoNobel), and Jotun Yacht Coatings, our skilled team protects and restores vessels to the highest standard.
Why Your Vessel Needs Professional Marine Painting
Boats, yachts, and ferries face constant punishment, UV rays, salt deposits, humidity, and motion stress. The right marine coatings don't just make them look good, they preserve performance, safety, and value.
High-quality paint systems protect against
- Corrosion and rust: Marine primers like Dulux Durebild STE or International Intergard 269 form a tough barrier.
- UV and weather damage: Topcoats such as Dulux Weathermax HBR and Jotun Hardtop AX maintain colour retention and gloss.
- Marine growth and drag: Anti-fouling coatings like International Micron 350 prevent barnacle build-up.
- Timber degradation: Clear coats like Norglass Shipshape Clear Varnish or Epifanes High Gloss Varnish keep timber glowing.
Our Marine Painting & Varnishing Services
We provide complete painting solutions for vessels of all sizes, from luxury yachts to high-traffic ferries and fishing boats.
Hull Painting & Anti-Fouling
Your hull faces the toughest conditions. We use marine-grade anti-fouling paints designed to minimise drag, boost speed, and protect against marine organisms.
We prepare and repaint hulls using Dulux Protective Coatings or International Interthane 990 for gloss, followed by anti-fouling systems to resist marine growth.
Deck & Superstructure Painting
From fibreglass to aluminium and steel, we apply coatings that stand up to constant exposure and foot traffic while enhancing aesthetics.
Decks endure foot traffic, sun, and salt. We use non-slip polyurethane systems like Wattyl Poly U 400 and Jotun Jotafloor Marine for traction and durability.
Timber Varnishing & Restoration
For classic timber trims and interiors, our marine varnishing brings out the wood's natural warmth. Each coat is UV-resistant and polished to a silky finish.
For classic timber trims, rails, or interiors, we apply UV-stable marine varnishes that enhance natural grain while sealing against moisture. Each surface is sanded between coats for depth and clarity.
Spray Painting for Yachts & Ferries
Using professional spray systems, we achieve a smooth, even finish with long-lasting protection. Ideal for large surfaces and commercial fleets.
Our controlled spray application delivers a smooth, mirror-like finish using Dulux Luxepoxy or International Perfection Pro systems. Ideal for fibreglass, aluminium, or steel hulls.
Complete Ferry Repainting
We understand ferry operations can't stop for long. Our team works to tight schedules, delivering high-durability coatings for long service life and minimal downtime.
For commercial operators, we manage entire fleet repaints, including colour updates, safety markings, and logo application. Products used often include Dulux Fleetshield and International Interfine 979.
