A customer contacted Quality Yachtpainting with a desire to get their yacht back in superb condition with a sprayed finish. They also wanted the color that would be sprayed to match the Gelcoat color, and involved AkzoNobel and the distributor van Dongen Verf. After a sprayout on a sample, the customer approved the color which truly marked the start of the refit.

“When the customers saw their yacht for the first time after the application of Awlgrip Topcoat, they had a smile from ear to ear!” explained Rolf van Eijck, co-owner of Quality Yachtpainting with Roos Fluit. Quality Yachtpainting is a small and specialist company focusing on owners and refits. The owners work together, leveraging over 20 years of experience, with which they are able to fulfill every detail of their clients’ requests.

“Quality Yachtpainting is a true ambassador of AkzoNobel and Awlgrip,” continued Rolf, “conveying to our customers that Awlgrip products are the most reliable and high-end in the market, supporting their quality. With a wide range of primers and topcoats there is a solution for each project and substrate. This is even expanded with the new Quick Build Primer and Awlgrip HDT.
