A 45ft Sealine S450 has been completely transformed with a full boat wrap using 3M 2080 Gloss Charcoal Metallic, installed by Bluechip Wraps Ltd.
The owner wanted to update the original white hull with something darker and more modern. By choosing a premium metallic finish, the yacht now has a sharper, more contemporary look that stands out both on the water and in the marina.
Preparing the Hull for a Marine Wrap
The Sealine S450 was a used vessel and in good overall condition. A few small repairs were carried out before installation to make sure the surface was ready for wrapping.
As with any marine vinyl wrap, preparation is key. A clean, smooth surface ensures strong adhesion and a high-quality finish — especially on larger vessels.
Managing a 14-Metre Section of Film
One of the biggest challenges during this yacht wrap was handling a continuous 14-metre length of film along the hull. At that size, the material becomes heavy and needs to be carefully positioned before application begins.
Pinning the film in place with masking tape and taking time to align it correctly helped the team achieve a clean, seamless result. The full installation took around two days to complete.
