Chavez Boat Painting in Point Loma has specialized in marine coatings from the Safe Harbor Shelter Island boatyard at 2330 Shelter Island Drive, since the LLC's 2017 incorporation, backed by more than twenty years of refinishing experience. LP spray-and-roll-tip application is the primary hull-painting method, a technique that demands precise temperature and humidity staging in the Shelter Island marine layer — conditions also navigated by underwater hull contractors such as Dockside Divers operating from the same harbor. Gel-coat color matching restores factory pigment on sun-faded fiberglass using spectrophotometer readings, eliminating the visible seams that plague hand-mixed batches. Non-skid deck flooring and structural fiberglass repair round out the service menu, with marine window resealing and replacement coordinated through fellow Shelter Island vendor ShoreSight Marine Windows. The highest-value project is a full-hull strip, barrier-coat application, LP topside respray, gel-coat transom restoration, and non-skid deck overlay on a 50-plus-foot motoryacht hauled out at the boatyard.
