FAQs

Transport Truck Painting FAQs

Everything you need to know about timelines, warranties, and getting your fleet refinished.

Do you handle sandblasting for full-length transport trailers and chassis frame rails?

Yes, we perform deep abrasive media sandblasting to remove flaking paint, scale, and heavy rust from trailer chassis, subframes, hose trays, and landing gear assemblies down to clean metal before priming.

What type of paint system is recommended for commercial transport trucks?

We use flexible, high-solids polyurethane topcoats applied over high-build anti-corrosion epoxy primers. This commercial system provides exceptional chip resistance, UV stability, and defense against fuel spills and road de-icers.

Can you safely mask valves, discharge manifolds, and aluminum fittings?

Extremely carefully. Our technicians mask and seal all discharge valves, vapor recovery lines, stainless fittings, polished aluminum shells, and rubber hoses to ensure zero overspray or damage during blasting and painting.

How long does a full transport truck paint job take?

Turnaround times typically range between 5 to 8 business days depending on vehicle dimensions, required body repairs, sandblasting scope, and coating specifications.
