Bring the machine to us, or we bring the work to the machine. Rust and failed paint come off, primer and industrial topcoat go on.
It is surface prep and recoating for machines that work for a living. Abrasive blasting or mechanical prep takes off rust, scale and failed coating. Primer goes onto the clean metal. An industrial topcoat goes over that, in your colour or the machine colour.
People do this for three reasons. A machine about to be sold is worth more when it does not look neglected. A fleet that carries your name is advertising, and rust is a bad ad. And coating is what stops corrosion from eating structural steel.
We came out of sandblasting and exterior coating before we ever picked up a residential paint job, so this is not a sideline bolted onto a painting company.
Both work. Which one is right comes down to whether the machine can be moved, how big it is, and how long you can be without it.
Drop the machine, trailer, attachment or steel off and we work on it in one place. Contained, out of the weather and off your yard, which usually means a cleaner job and a tighter schedule.
Drop-off is by appointment. Call or text and we will give you the address and a time.
Mobile work on your site, for machines that cannot be floated, units that are too big to move, or fleets where trucking every unit costs more than bringing us in.
Tell us where the machine sits, what the surface under it is, and what else is nearby.
Machines that spend their life in dirt and salt. Prep and coat before corrosion turns cosmetic into structural.
Units that go out under your name. A consistent fleet colour and clean decals do more for your reputation than a brochure.
Implements and machinery stored outside through Ottawa winters. Fertiliser and manure are hard on steel.
Resale is the clearest case. Buyers price what they can see, and rust reads as neglect whether it is or not.
Deck edges, frames and boxes take the worst of it. These are the units that show rust first.
Fleet units and equipment that need to look maintained because the public is looking at them.
Every stage exists because skipping it shows up later. This is the order the work runs in, whether it happens at our place or yours.
Oil, grease, hydraulic residue and dirt come off first. Blasting over contamination drives it into the surface and nothing sticks afterwards.
Glass, cylinders, rams, decals you are keeping, hydraulic fittings, electrics and anything with a seal gets covered before abrasive touches the machine.
Rust, mill scale and failed coating are taken off and the steel is given a profile for the primer to key into. How far it is taken back depends on the machine and what it does.
The clean surface tells the truth. Pitting, thin steel and previous repairs show up here, and you hear about them before we coat over them.
Industrial primer straight onto clean metal, before flash rust has a chance to start. This is the coat that decides how long the job lasts.
Industrial enamel or urethane in your colour, built to take stone chips, UV and washing.
Masking off, decals and unit numbers on, and the machine handed back ready to go out.
Equipment quoting is not guesswork, but it does need detail. Send this and you get a real answer instead of a range.
