Satin Ocean Shimmer Hull Wrap Upgrade for a 58ft Fairline Targa

This satin blue was a standout choice for the 58ft Fairline Targa Trinity, perfectly complementing the vessel’s sleek, sporty lines. Installed at D’Albora Marina, The Spit, the new Satin Ocean Shimmer (3M 2080 colour S327) hull wrap gave the boat a fresh, modern presence on the water. The project focused on rewrapping the same hull sections where previous vinyl had been installed. Before any new material was applied, the team carefully removed the existing wrap and waterline stripe to ensure a clean foundation. Proper removal is a critical step in marine wrapping, as it prevents surface imperfections and ensures strong adhesion for the new film.

For the new finish, 3M 2080 Satin Ocean Shimmer (S327) was selected. This colour delivers a rich ocean-blue tone with a subtle satin sheen that reduces glare while enhancing the sleek lines of the Fairline Targa. Satin finishes have become increasingly popular in the marine space because they strike the balance between gloss and matte, offering a sophisticated appearance that performs well in harsh sunlight and saltwater environments.

To complete the look, a 100mm black stripe was installed along the waterline. This detail not only adds contrast and definition to the hull but also reinforces the vessel’s profile when viewed from a distance. Clean, straight waterline striping requires precision alignment, especially on larger vessels where even minor inconsistencies become highly visible.

In addition to the hull wrap, the vessel’s registration was refreshed to match the upgraded appearance. Clean, correctly sized registration graphics are an important finishing detail, ensuring compliance while complementing the overall design. The result is a striking transformation that gives Trinity a fresh, contemporary identity without permanent alteration. Beyond aesthetics, high-quality marine vinyl also provides a protective layer against minor abrasions, UV exposure and general wear, helping to preserve the condition of the original gelcoat.

For boat owners looking to modernise their vessel or change colour without committing to paint, a professional hull wrap offers a fast, cost-effective solution. When installed correctly using premium materials, the finish looks seamless, performs in demanding marine conditions, and can be removed or updated in the future as needs change.
