MAXUM, If you read my message closely, you will see that it was a neighbor that had their Donzi painted by UBR, not my Maxum (curiously enough!). It does look nice, and the neighbors are painters by profession, so they ought to know what a good paint job looks like, I suppose.

i never did ask them what it cost to have done, so i am sorry I can't help you there. there are 10-15 boats out in the yard of UBR, so if you stopped by I am sure you could get a look at their workmanship and a rough idea of price. I work in an industry that paints vehicles. There are numerous hazardous solvents, paints, epoxies, etc involved in this process that MUST be dealt with and disposed of properly or there are whopping fines (at least in MA). So there are numerous fees, storage systems, reporting requirements, OSHA regs for the guys in the paint booth, etc. this all adds up to an expensive process - so to make a long story short - I'll bet it is not cheap. Especially if this shop is in demand, as all indications suggest it is, he won't need to discount either to drum up work...
