Commission
Livery studio
Your hull, Martha's palette. Template to top coat in the yard's own studio.
How a livery happens
Pick the bands
Nesta lays out the four house colours and any two you bring. Almost everyone ends up choosing Martha's original order, and the studio pretends to be surprised every time.
The template
Roses and castles are cut from templates or painted freehand. Your call; the price reflects your nerve.
One-shot enamel
The paint is brush enamel made for coachwork, applied in bands and lettering. It dries glossy and proud and stays that way for years.
Launch day
The boat goes back in with a bottle of something cracked on the stern post. Win Harrow records the date and the exact colours in the yard book, forever.
