What We Offer at Pacific Fiberglass

At Pacific Fiberglass, we offer a full range of surface restoration and refinishing services tailored to your vessel’s condition and goals. From thorough prep and fairing to coatings that withstand harsh marine environments, our team focuses on long-term protection and a clean, professional finish. You can explore all of our services to see how LP topside paint fits into a larger plan for fiberglass repair, gelcoat restoration, and complete exterior refinishing.

LP Topside Paint (Liquid Polyurethane)

We use premium LP marine-grade topcoats designed for durability, UV resistance, and color stability. Our multi-stage process includes:

This approach ensures outstanding adhesion, weather resistance, and long-term gloss retention.

Gelcoat Repair & Color Matching

Many cosmetic issues originate in the gelcoat layer, including scratches, chips, crazing, and faded sections. Our gelcoat service includes:

We restore both appearance and the protective barrier in a single skilled pass.

High-Gloss Polishing & Oxidation Removal

Over time, UV exposure and oxidation dull your vessel’s shine. Our polishing work involves:

The result: mirror-bright surfaces that enhance aesthetics and resale value.

Full Refinishing Projects

For substantial cosmetic transformations, full repaints and re-decking accents, Pacific Fiberglass manages the whole workflow:

  1. Design & planning — color selection, templates, and styling

  2. Stripping or scuffing — removing old coatings while preserving the base laminate

  3. Fairing & filling — smoothing transitions, eliminating imperfections

  4. Application of topcoats or gelcoat in controlled environment bays

  5. Final finish & QA — polish, masking removal, touch-ups, and inspection

Why Choose Pacific Fiberglass?

Pacific Fiberglass specializes in cosmetic excellence for marine vessels. Our strengths include:

The Pacific Fiberglass Refinishing Process

  1. Assessment & diagnostics
    We inspect coatings, identify areas requiring repair, assess underlying damage, and propose a refinishing strategy.

  2. Preparation & masking
    Boundaries, trim, hardware, and surfaces are carefully masked or removed. Surface textures are prepared for bonding.

  3. Repair & fill
    Any substrate irregularities, scratches, or gouges are filled and faired. Gelcoat repairs or composite touch-ups are completed first.

  4. Paint / gelcoat application
    Using spray, roll, or brush techniques as appropriate, we apply coatings in precise layers, allowing sufficient time for proper flash and cure.

  5. Finish & polish
    After curing, we progressively sand to finer grits, polish, and apply protective coatings.

  6. Inspection & delivery
    We perform final gloss measurements, edge checks, and touch-ups. Only when the finish meets our standards (and yours) do we release.

If your vessel deserves a finish that commands attention, topside brilliance, flawless gelcoat, or an entire cosmetic revival, Pacific Fiberglass, Cosmetic & Refinishing Work will deliver beauty that endures. Contact us today to schedule a surface evaluation and let us bring your vessel’s aesthetics back to life.

Client Testimonials

“Kudos to Doug and his team for doing an amazing job! We had only scheduled Pacific Fiberglass to check the rudders, as we were planning on doing the rest of the work ourselves. After hauling out and realizing it was a bigger project than we could handle, they gave us a very reasonable quote, jumped on the job and we were out of the boatyard in 6 days! Amazing work! Thanks to your team!”

Scott Helfen

Client Testimonials

“I brought my sailboat in to Pacific Fiberglass for structural hull and stringer repair after a hard grounding and the work they completed was top-notch. They did all the coordination with Canal Boatyard for travel lift work and kept in good communication with me through the entire process, staying on schedule and on budget. My boat went back into the water better than ever and I couldn’t be happier. It’s nice to see a small business such as this be able to stay in business in Seattle. They would be my first choice for any future fiberglass work I might need done.”

Client Testimonials

“Doug and his team did me proud. I took my boat in for bottom paint and some other minor repairs. The weather wasn't cooperative so we had a couple minor delays. But once they completed the work, I was very happy. Under budget and done right. Robert especially was key, he kept me informed and up to speed on the job. I'm glad I decided to go with Pacific Fiberglass. Thanks guys.”
