Commercial vehicle repainting and our Spray Shop

As coachbuilders and horsebox manufacturers, our commercial spray shop department has over 30 years of paint experience in both the commercial vehicle and the aerospace (military and commercial aircraft) industries. We specialise in commercial vehicle painting and respraying using quality products and paint. Our conscientious team respray and paint customers vehicles to the highest standards. Our paint procedures include full preparation; etch primer, 2k HS primer, base coat (metallic) and 2k clear coat or 2k solid colour. Vinyl decals can be designed to your own personal choice or we can design them for you. Not only do we spray our own new builds, we have a good turnover of horsebox and vehicle resprays. We take great pride in finishing our horseboxes in a high quality product. Our attention to detail is second to none. The same applies to our repainting for tractor units, box/panel vans, cement mixers, tippers and flatbeds. We carry out non-major repairs prior to re-painting. The coach building workshop will undertake major alterations and repairs to your requirements. Static items are easily accommodated in our two thermostatically controlled spray shops. The larger of the two bays enables us to work on most vehicles. After a vehicle is sprayed we offer the choice of refurbishing parts before replacing them onto the repainted job.

Commercial vehicle painting and our Helios horsebox range

For our own Helios horsebox builds our commercial spray shop has proved invaluable. Rather than manufacture a horsebox to completion then drive off premises to have it painted we paint at each stage of the build process. This increases the quality of our finished product in both looks and longevity. Horseboxes notoriously rot from the underside of the skirt up. As part of our commitment to building an unrivalled name in quality with the Helios brand, our commercial spray shop team paint every Helios at the sub frame stage with 3 coats of protective paint. At the end of the build process when the horsebox enters the spray shop again for full painting they respray the underside once more painting any added parts and then Waxoyl the whole underside.

Coat-X Polyurea spray-on protective coating

Coat-X Spray-On Protective Coating For Load Liners And Truck Bed Liners

Our Polyurea resin Coat-X fulfils all the requirements for our quality horse areas and on our horsebox ramps. Because it is totally water proof and sprayed on at high temperatures it seals every part. It looks fantastic after each wash and is very hard wearing and light. We have used this product for years and other manufacturers are now following our lead. It is down to solid research, investment in machinery and our committed conscientious team of sprayers, that the finish in our Helios horse areas and ramps are at the forefront in our industry. We have been so busy with this product from the start that we started a new business www.coat-x.co.uk. We offer the Coat-X polyurea resin spray-on protective coating, as an alternative to heavy rubber mats and kick sheet, to customers with existing horseboxes and to those with horseboxes being built by other manufacturers . This is another area where we lead the way with other manufacturers having ramps and horse areas sprayed at our workshops.

Properties of our Coat-X Polyurea Spray-On Protective Coating

Polyurea resin Coat-X spray-on protective coating is a tried and tested system and a very versatile coating product. It offers corrosion resistance, waterproofing as well as abrasion protection. It removes the need for gluing or screwing a wall covering into the horse area and also removes the need for heavy mats on the floor. Because Coat-X is sprayed over the whole ramp surface, walls and floor in the horse area it is completely waterproof. Our granules in the top surface allow grip whilst letting water run between hoofs or shoes and the ramp surface. The finish is extremely neat, not affected by sun or heat and looks like new after each washing.

Coat-X for truck bed lining and for covering ply lining on vans

We use Coat-X as a protective coating for truck bed liners, covering ply lining in vans and many types of commercial vehicle. It protects both the loads and vehicle alike. Sprayed onto ply lining it will cover interiors of new vehicles or make older vans look like new. Finish is smart and uniform adding a professional look to any work vehicle. For vehicles that get more vigorous use it protects from spills as there are no seams. For delivery vans it is extremely good at stopping loads from sliding around which also adds to safety. It protects against abrasion and corrosion with the added benefit of good sound insulation. Our team of sprayers take great pride in each commission and treat every vehicle whether it is new or used with care, masking both inside and out to protect from overspray.
