Our Story
Paul started his career in the paint industry from the young age of 15 as an apprentice. While there have been a few stages of serious corporate life in Strategy, Marketing and Operations, there has always been Paint fumes somewhere close.
In fact, a total of 35 years experience in paint coating systems from commercial and domestic buildings, industrial, marine and even airbrush detailing on custom cars. But the passion has always been for boats. Being one for never settling for the status quo and with an eye on trends, technology advancements, Paul has made the shift to Vinyl wrapping specialising in his passion...the Marine sector.

We don't subscribe to the "Paint is Dead" movement though. While there is no question that vinyl has significantly changed the landscape for both Automotive and Marine painters, there are some situations that paint should still be applied. If we think paint should be applied, we will recommend it and manage that process for you. One of our premium wood conversion finishes requires clear coat "Paint over Vinyl"..… just stunning.
What drives us....To produce the most stunning looking finish on boats, new or old with world-class workmanship, while using materials and practices that are kind on our marine environment. Smack Marine is fanatical about the detail. To us... 99% is definitely not OK.
