Hi Randy One issue is the heat gun (torch) used to shrink the wrap. Ensure the person doing the job knows the boat is painted or excessive heat could damage the paint.
The family C&C 36 "Blue Horizon No.1" was painted in 1989 I believe after being only 8 years old. The boat was sold in 1990 and then in 2003 sold again and this time to a person I know. A couple years later I noted he had the boat painted white (was a robin's egg blue colour originally) and asked if he did not like the previous colour. He said it was repainted because the paint was damaged badly when shrink wrapped because the operatior did not know the boat was painted.

I’d like to shrink-wrap Grenadine this winter, but obviously wouldn’t want to damage her paint job.
