Cost to Paint a Row Boat

[calmwaters13]

Hey guys quick question, I have a 96' Monark SF 14S (14 foot) row boat. Link included below in this message, not my boat but gives you an idea of what one looks like. I am looking to re-paint the white portion of the boat that extends from gunwale to the splash rail and the entire transom. It's not a big boat an was looking to have someone professionally paint this boat either black or red, just one color. I would rather not do this myself. I was wondering how much do you think something like this will cost to have painted, again its a 14ft boat and only looking to paint from the gunwale to the splash rail on the sides of the boat, and also the entire transom.... Looking for a rough estimate...

shoot i would wash it down, get a rotary sander, rough up the existing paint, and give it heck with either spray can rustoleum, or roller and brush canned rustoleum. could be done for $20.00
all these are rustoleum.

Ayuh,...

Drag it to a couple of Body/ Paint Shops,+ Ask them....

My guess is,.. Probably More than the boat is Worth....

If you have a compressor or access to one I would buy a spray gun from harbor freight and do it your self. Or do as suggested above. They have the whole setup hvlp with turbine compressor at H.F. for like $80.00 and they work pretty well esp. on something that small.

why spend $80 for a spray gun, when you can do the complete job for $20.00- 30.00 at the most.
