There was a self-employed spray painter based in Emsworth Yacht Harbour a few years ago. I have never made use of him but I heard good reports from others who had.

Maybe the marina manager there can put you in touch with him

Would that be Jerry? I can't recall his surname but his 'other job' was respraying classic cars to a high standard. I've never used him, but have seen his (very impressive) work.

Jerry? Yes - I think that was him. I remember that he keeps a classic wooden boat in EYH.

I have seen a boat that he resprayed with Awlgrip paint and it looked a good job.

Mine was handpainted by a guy called Max. Saved having to mask off all the areas that did not need painting. Very nice job he did as well, though a shed is still needed along with possible heating.
