The Paint Father (David V. Revay)

Welcome to The Paint Father – the home for yacht paint, coatings, and inspection insiders.

I’m David V. Revay, an AMPP Certified Level 3 Coatings Inspector who’s surveyed 600+ yachts, bridges, pipelines, tanks, and mega-projects around the world. Here, I break down million-dollar paint jobs, expose costly failures, and teach you how inspectors actually protect assets from corrosion and disaster.

This channel is way more than just yacht paint, it’s about building a global community of coatings inspectors. Whether you’re: a young professional looking for a career that pays $75K–$120K+ with just 5 days of training, an industry veteran wanting real-world tips and stories, or curious how mega projects stay protected from rust and failure... You’re in the right place.

Expect viral yacht fails, inspector training guides, career advice, and interviews with experts from all over
