Trinidad, Venezuela, and other boat-work stories
You guys need to shop around. At Riverside Marina in Ft Pierce Florida, A
boat owner had his Hallberg-Rasse painted for $500. He did the prep and paid for the awlgrip and materials. Paint job was beautiful...prep work was marginal, but the owner loved it. http://www.riversidemarinafortpierce.com/ I did my own job and it cost me my time and material.

90% of the cost is labor and 90% of the labor is prep work. Not
surprising he got someone to shoot it for $500. That is only a day's work. Also not surprising that the prep work was marginal. Looks like you did a pretty good job. How much time did it take? How much do you figure your time was worth? How much was the yard rent while you did it? Not to mention the cost of sandpaper, primers thinners, reducers rags, brushes, rollers and of course paint?

It was a 45' and the painter put on three coats of Awlgrip. Great gloss, no
runs, little orange peel, few bugs. At 5', looks good. |
