COATINGS ATLAS PAINT CONSULTANTS For most of the different disciplines on a yacht sophisticated systems are developed and in use, on which long term maintenance is based. These systems clearly stipulate what kind of work is required, when it needs to be carried out and what the costs involved are to keep the vessel in top condition. Such a maintenance system has not been developed for the paint discipline, which is one of the largest returning items on yachts. Atlas Paint Consultants has recognised the need for such Paint Maintenance Manual and has developed such a document. In general the purpose of the document is to create and maintain a data bank of the paint condition on a yacht. Enabling yacht managers and/or captains to adequately plan and budget their future paint refit work. For more details Tel: +31 (0)10 2681495 or visit www.atlaspaintconsultants.com These steps in preparation are crucial for the final result as poor preparation is easily spotted in the final top coat (gloss) and could easily compromise both manufacturers warranties and the overall finish of the vessel. The client expects a very high quality finish and as a standard we strive to provide this every time. Taking steps backwards on a project due to poor preparation is never efficient and extremely costly, so why risk it?” Longevity, high gloss and easy cleaning are the standout features offered by a new class of coating made possible by recent advances in ceramic chemistry: Zytexx Clear-Coat. When using this revolutionary ceramic coating, salts, pollutants, acid rain streaks, oils and diesel soot are all easily removed. The hard, slick, abrasion-resistant finish does not wear down like waxes, polishes and polymers. More importantly the product cuts crew cleaning time down to a fraction. By preventing diesel soot from permanently staining polyurethane paints, crew can avoid unsightly and expensive damage and eliminate the need to tediously polish out these defects. With its hard, scratch-resistant properties, fenders and hawsers mark Zytexx far less than paint. The company has supplied over 90 vessels in the Mediterranean alone all are using it to great effect. Captain Eddie West, in command of Sarafsa, is a big fan and has stated, “Zytexx has without doubt, extended the life of our paintwork to the extent where we have original paint of 11 years old in some areas. Glass readings were as low as 7 prior to using Zytexx and now readings are in the high 80s on this old paint. The application team are quick and efficient, just give them a cherry picker and leave them to it.” Speaking for the company, Michael Pass says Captains should look out for Zytexx for glass surfaces. He says, “Our Glass Treatment restores salt pitted windows to clarity, greatly enhancing the look of your vessel. Treated windows become extremely water repellent; Water literally rolls right off eliminating spotting and reducing further etching. Even on windows fitted with wiper blades, Zytexx Glass Treatment provides long-lasting hydrophobicity.” Nico Roper of Atlas Paint Consultants believes it is important before contemplating any large scale painting project, specialist firms such as his are called in. The job of a consultant should THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD PAINT JOB AND A POOR ONE IS DOWN TO THE PREPARATION. IT IS A CLICHÉ, BUT IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT 99% OF EVERY GOOD PAINT JOB LIES IN THE PREPARATION be to carry out a full pre refit paint status survey. Once that is done the consultant should prepare a bid book to reflect all the necessary requirements. Then he should have the yard and or the paint contractor prepare a paint manual. “It is vital,” he says, “to list the responsibilities and communication lines to make sure there are clear and open corporation between all parties”. Painted surfaces that have a dappled look about them are often referred to as having an orange peel finish because of the texture of the surface after coating resembles the skin of an orange or grapefruit. This phenomenon is almost certainly the result of improper painting a technique, and can often be caused by fast evaporation of thinners or when using an incorrectly set up spray gun. It can also arise when a surface is painted with a roller using too little pain or too thick a paint so that the surface dries before the texture as a whole does so. When using a spray gun check the air pressure and ensure the correctly sized nozzle is fitted. Avoid spraying paint at an angle other than perpendicular to the surface and never apply an over excessive amount of paint. When painting, it is always best to avoid extreme air quality or temperature conditions. Low temperatures will for example ONBOARD | WINTER 2019 | 137
