Marine Interior Color Coating Saves Boat Owners Thousands
It’s never too early to start planning how to refresh your boat for the next season, and one of the most effective, affordable ways to do it is with a marine interior color coating. Over time, your boat’s interior surfaces can become worn, faded, or dull from exposure to sun, salt, and wear. Fortunately, ColorBond LVP OE offers a high-performance solution: a premium marine interior color coating that restores vibrant color and a like-new finish without the high cost of replacement or reupholstery.
Whether you’re reviving your original color scheme or trying something bold and new, this innovative marine interior color coating gives you flexibility and professional results, all at a DIY-friendly price.
The High Cost of Marine Upholstery Replacement
Vinyl is the most commonly used material in boat upholstery, and while it’s durable, it can deteriorate after years of exposure to the elements. Replacing it isn’t cheap; vinyl fabrics alone can run between $40 and $60 per square yard. And that’s just for the material.
A typical upholstery job for layback seats (even when using existing hardware and seat boxes) can cost between $600 and $1,200 each. A full reskin for a 25-foot boat? Several thousand dollars.
But with ColorBond’s marine interior color coating, you can restore vinyl and plastic boat surfaces for just a fraction of the cost, achieving impressive, professional-looking results without replacing a single panel.
Real Customer Restorations Using Marine Interior Color Coating
Here’s a great example of how ColorBond LVP OE transformed a boat interior on a budget. One customer used ColorBond in Sea Ray Cutty White to achieve stunning results with only eight cans:
- 2 cans for the side/back seat
- 1 can for the helm chair
- 1 can for miscellaneous trim
- 4 cans for the Bimini top
The total cost? Just $132. Replacing those components would have cost thousands.

Consider this Chris Craft restoration performed by Robert Larsen, who 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!
As a member of the Antique and Classic Boat Society and Chris Craft Boat Club, Mr. Larsen has received many compliments on the boat. People can’t believe that everything on his boat is still 100% original and that ColorBond helped him restore the original glory. They all assume he bought replacement parts!
Not only were these restorations easy and affordable for the do-it-yourselfer, ColorBond’s durability will ensure the coating will never flake, chip, or peel. Order your marine interior color coating now and let us know if you get the same great results!
What Makes ColorBond Different?
ColorBond LVP OE isn’t just another spray-on product; it’s an elastomeric aerosol coating developed specifically for leather, vinyl, and plastic surfaces. Unlike traditional rigid coatings, this flexible marine interior color coating is engineered to bond chemically to the surface and move with it, preventing cracking, peeling, or flaking, even in high-use marine environments.
Its durability, ease of use, and OEM color-matching options make it the go-to choice for DIYers, detailers, and restoration professionals alike.
How to Use ColorBond Marine Interior Color Coating
Applying ColorBond LVP OE is simple and highly effective, even for first-timers. Follow these basic steps for best results:
- Clean Thoroughly: Use ColorBond Prep Cleaner to remove dirt, oils, and residues. This ensures the coating bonds to the substrate and doesn’t lift or bubble.
- Mask Surrounding Areas: Protect glass, hardware, and nearby surfaces using painter’s tape and drop cloths.
- Apply in Light Coats: Shake the can well. Hold it 6–10 inches from the surface and apply light, even coats. Build up the color gradually for an even finish.
- Let It Cure: Allow several hours for the marine interior color coating to fully cure. Avoid exposure to water or heavy use during this time.
- Enjoy a Refreshed, Durable Finish: Once dry, your marine upholstery will look like new, and the flexible coating will stand up to the elements.
