Done all that jobs when I was onboard. It all seems hard and tough work but with great planning and team work, this can be done with ease and productive result.

US Navy vet and first year Cadet at Great Lakes Maritime. Thought my love affair with chipping and painting was over! Not quite. :)

You guys have it easy, relatively.

In shipyards where I work we chip and paint the bilges. Down to clean bare metal, we do a sspc1, sspc2, sspc3, and sspc11.

Then a sspc10 on the sspc11 area.
Very meticulous, very time consuming. Work in the bilges is extremely cramped, dark and dusty, often you have to squeeze through pipes or pipe hangers to do a job.

Working the weather deck is a cake walk in compression.

I really liked the video, you explained chipping and painting VERY well.

I honestly didn't realize something as simple as painting could be so extensive and time consuming. You guys have to deconstruct the outer most layer of the ship, then add it all back, which takes time and tons of physical effort. I figured you just painted over it, such as with walls. Thanks for the informative video and changing my views on how some industries have to do normally simple tasks in a much more careful and hands on way. You guys rock!

I'm the 2nd year at a Nautical school in Bakar, Croatia, we chip and paint the wrench for lowering lifeboats, we never got to use any tools but a hammer and a thing that you didn't even show beacuse its probably very outdated, thanks for the great content you provide, i learnd so much from you Jeffm

Chipping and painting, I remember it well from my first trip at sea in 1967!
It was said "Six days though should work and do all that you are able. The seventh day Holy Stone the deck and paint and chip the cable"

Thank you for this information you have provided, it was really helpful, it helped me to know how chipping and painting on ships are

[Hello-yebi]

@JeffHK- chipping and painting was a frequent conversation in my parent's house. Dad was a Bosun in the Merchant Marines. At home, Dad kept me occupied painting and keeping the house "ship shape". Although Bosun drove me to the brink of insanity with his goal to keep things tidy; I went on to study Art History and Studio Art with a focus on sculpture, photography, and (yes) painting. Thank you for this video.
