Gerhardt “Hutts” Tuinukuafe — Panel & Paint Shop Foreman

With over 16 years of hands-on experience in high-performance marine spray painting and fairing, Gerhardt “Hutts” Tuinukuafe brings world-class finishing expertise to the Custom Truck Spray team.

A seasoned marine spray painter and fairing specialist, Hutts built his career in the luxury yacht and superyacht industry, working on some of the most demanding projects in the world — including America’s Cup racing vessels and other elite performance boats.

His mastery of fibreglass repair, precision fairing, and top-tier marine coatings has made him a trusted professional known for unmatched surface perfection. Every finish he produces reflects the same level of discipline and detail required in the global marine sector — where perfection isn’t optional, it’s expected.

Now applying that same level of precision to truck and commercial vehicle refinishing, Hutts brings a unique edge to Custom Truck Spray — combining marine-grade finishing standards with automotive artistry. His work embodies craftsmanship, pride, and a relentless pursuit of quality — hallmarks of a true professional.
