Boat Upholstery Specialty Coating – Get Your Boat Ready for This Season

November 3, 2025

Want an easy way to spruce up or refinish your boat interior for the coming season? ColorBond LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating is perfect for restoring and restyling your boat upholstery at a fraction of the cost of reupholstering. It can restore the interior to its original appearance or create a new look.

Refinishing Mildew-Damaged Surfaces

Check out the 2003 Maxum 2300 SC belonging to Debbie V. and her husband. Having been damaged by mold, the interior had been badly stained. After learning about ColorBond, Debbie decided to use LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating to refinish the seats, cushions, and dash. She laughingly says: “I think I drove Malcolm (at ColorBond) crazy finding the right color that would most closely match the interior”.

Overall, Debbie used 14 cans of ColorBond LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating at a cost of $230.86. In comparison, having the interior professionally reupholstered would have cost thousands.

The biggest advantage of choosing boat upholstery specialty coating over reupholstery is cost savings. Professional reupholstery often costs several thousand dollars, while ColorBond LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating allows boat owners to restore interiors for a fraction of that price. Beyond savings, this specialty coating bonds to vinyl, leather, and plastic surfaces, creating a durable finish that resists cracking, peeling, and fading. That means you can enjoy the look and feel of like-new boat seats season after season.

Bringing New Life to a Classic Boat

Robert L. restored his Chris Craft using LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating. As a member of the Antique and Classic Boat Society and Chris Craft Boat Club, Robert has received many compliments on the boat. People can’t believe that everything on his boat is still 100% original.

Boat looks great!

Robert used six total cans of Vette Red and Sea Ray Cutty white to restore the dash and cushions. He spent under $100 for what normally would cost thousands.

One of the standout features of LVP OE is its versatility. Owners of antique wooden boats, modern pontoons, or luxury yachts all find success with this specialty coating. Because it comes in OEM-matched colors, you can restore interiors to their original factory look or customize them with a completely new style. This makes it an ideal solution for both restoration enthusiasts and everyday boaters.

Refinishing Discolored Leather Seats

The thick premium Italian leather seating in Ian V.’s 40’ Azimut power boat, a vessel made in Italy, began showing discoloration. Ian had heard good things about ColorBond and chose LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating to restore their beauty. Ian says: “The leather has a slight suede texture which would leave a minor roughness after an applied coat dried. All I needed to do was rub it down with my hand and it smoothed right out. It turned out great!”

Ian originally spoke with an upholsterer about replacing the leather and got a $3,500.00 estimate – and that was with using a leather inferior to the original. A total of four cans of LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating were used at a cost of $65.96.

How to Use Boat Upholstery Specialty Coating

Application is straightforward and requires no professional training. Just clean the surface thoroughly, allow it to dry, and spray on light, even coats. The fast-drying formula makes it easy to complete a full interior refresh over a weekend. The result is a factory-like finish that bonds permanently and flexes with the material.

Making Mildew-Stained Seats as Good as New

Megan H.’s pontoon boat seats had been stained by mildew, and after doing everything she could to clean them, they remained stained. After learning about ColorBond in Overton’s Magazine she ordered LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating in white and dark blue to refinish the seats. It did an amazing job, and the seats look like new again. “I showed the results to several people that had suggested the coating on the seats wouldn’t work, and they were very surprised!”

12 cans of LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating completed the job at a cost $197.88. To replace the cushions would have cost thousands.

Why Boat Upholstery Specialty Coating Is Not Paint

 It’s important to understand that ColorBond LVP OE is not paint. Traditional paints sit on the surface of vinyl, leather, and plastic, which leads to cracking, peeling, and flaking when the material flexes. Boat interiors endure constant use, sun exposure, and moisture, which makes ordinary paint a poor choice for long-term results.

ColorBond LVP OE boat upholstery specialty coating is engineered to bond at the molecular level with these flexible surfaces. Instead of forming a brittle layer, it penetrates and creates a permanent, supple finish that flexes with the material. This ensures the coating will not crack or peel, even under the demanding conditions found on the water.

The result is a smooth, factory-like finish that not only restores the original beauty of your boat’s interior but also provides long-lasting durability. For boaters who want professional-quality restoration without the drawbacks of paint, boat upholstery specialty coating is the clear choice.

ColorBond: The Smart Investment for Boat Owners

For boaters who want long-lasting beauty and protection without the high cost of reupholstery, boat upholstery specialty coating is the answer. ColorBond LVP OE proves itself time and again as a trusted solution that saves money, revives interiors, and keeps boats looking their best.
