Why is it so important to choose a premium marine paint?

The marine environment of Ibiza and the Mediterranean is particularly demanding: intense solar radiation, high salinity, and constant humidity. Standard paint can lose its shine, crack, or fade in a short time, while high-end paint maintains:

• Stable color and gloss for years.
• Greater resistance to abrasion, impacts, and scratches.
• Extra protection against corrosion and general surface wear.
• A uniform finish, free of orange peel or visible defects.

That’s why, for projects involving complete repainting, cosmetic restoration, or a color change, choosing systems like Awlgrip or DuPont™ Marine is an investment in peace of mind and the boat’s value.

Awlgrip: a global leader in boat hull paint

Awlgrip has become a benchmark in the professional and recreational boating sectors thanks to its combination of durability, gloss, and color stability. It is one of the preferred choices for the hulls of yachts, sailboats, and high-end vessels.

Advantages of working with Awlgrip

• High-gloss finish with an appearance very similar to automotive clear coat, ideal for boats seeking a flawless aesthetic.
• Excellent color retention: maintains its hue even under intense sun exposure, such as that found in Ibiza.
• High chemical and mechanical resistance, withstanding frequent cleaning, specialized products, and daily use of the boat.
• Extensive color chart and customization options for aesthetic transformation projects.

In the Jet Marine paint booth in Santa Eulària des Riu, we apply Awlgrip under controlled conditions of temperature, ventilation, and air purity, which allows us to achieve a uniform, impurity-free, and long-lasting finish.

DuPont™ Marine: technology and durability for the marine industry

DuPont™ Marine is another leading name in marine paint systems, recognized for its materials research and expertise in high-performance coatings.

Why DuPont™ Marine is a premium choice

• High resistance to sunlight and UV rays, minimizing gloss loss and fading over time.
• Effective protection against saltwater exposure, especially important in areas such as the Balearic Islands.
• Versatile application on different types of surfaces (hull, deck, parts, and accessories).
• Professional finish for both solid-color and metallic basecoat paint systems.

The combination of high-quality materials and expert application allows DuPont™ Marine paint to deliver performance far superior to generic products, especially when applied in a controlled environment such as our spray booth.

Solid-color and metallic basecoat painting: a Jet Marine specialty

At Jet Marine, we were the first boatyard in Ibiza to offer solid-color and metallic basecoat painting for boats, allowing us to develop highly specialized expertise in these types of finishes.

When should you choose solid-color paint?

Solid-color paint is ideal for those seeking a classic, elegant, and easy-to-maintain appearance. Its advantages include:

• Clean and uniform finish.
• Wide variety of solid color options.
• Easier maintenance and touch-ups for minor repairs.

When should you choose a metallic basecoat?

Metallic basecoat paint is perfect for those looking for a more exclusive and modern touch:

• Deeper and more sophisticated visual effect.
• Reflections and nuances that change with the light.
• Ideal for boats that want to stand out both in the marina and while underway.

In both cases, the use of brands such as Awlgrip and DuPont™ Marine, combined with our technical expertise and preparation, application, and polishing processes, guarantees a high-quality result.

The role of the paint booth in the final result

Choosing a high-quality paint is not enough: the application environment is essential to achieving a flawless finish. Our professional marine paint booth at the Santa Eulària des Riu boatyard is designed to maintain:

• A sealed environment, preventing the entry of dust and airborne particles.
• Controlled temperature and humidity for uniform curing and drying.
• Air ventilation and filtration systems that minimize surface contaminants.

This environment allows us to work with premium systems such as Awlgrip and DuPont™ Marine all year round, delivering consistent results regardless of external weather conditions.

Experience, expertise, and materials: the combination that makes the difference

At Jet Marine, we understand marine painting as the result of several key factors working together:

• More than 30 years of experience in above-waterline and below-waterline painting.
• Specialization in aesthetic transformations and complete repainting projects.
• Use of premium brands such as Awlgrip and DuPont™ Marine.
• In-house paint booth with capacity for vessels up to 18 m in length and 6 m in beam.
• Flexible service: we work from our Santa Eulària des Riu boatyard and can also travel to other boatyards in Ibiza or anywhere in Spain.

The result is a uniform, glossy, and long-lasting finish that not only enhances the vessel’s appearance but also helps maintain or increase its market value.
