The complete repainting process for industrial vehicles
The repainting of a industrial vehicle goes far beyond the aesthetic aspect. It is a critical intervention to protect the structure, prevent corrosion and prolong its service life. At Consman, this service is carried out with technical precision and a comprehensive approach as we have a preparation, finishing and drying oven area. The facility is adapted to the new technical and safety requirements for painting vehicles with alternative combustion or traction systems.
Below, we explain each key step in this process.
1. Preparation of the surface
Before applying any paint, the surface must be thoroughly prepared by cleaning and rust removal. Dirt, grease and corrosion are removed by stripping and degreasing.
2. Application of primer
The primer forms an essential protective layer that reinforces the adhesion of the final colour and its resistance to adverse conditions. In industrial vehicles, systems such as epoxy-polyurethane or high-strength water-soluble systems are used.
3. Selection of the paint system
There are several options depending on the type of finish desired:
- Monocoat: paint and gloss in a single, efficient and economical application.
- Two-coat: a base coat of colour followed by a protective varnish. It is the most used for its balance between aesthetics and durability.
For more information see our blog article on the most common painting systems.
4. Technologies and application systems
The process is carried out in specialised facilities where professional spray booths and lifting platforms are used to facilitate the handling of large vehicles. In Consman’s case, we have a 30-metre long cabin line that allows us to paint all types of vehicles with adequate space for the technicians to carry out the work with the maximum possible comfort and precision.
5. Drying and heat exposure
Drying is a critical phase. Industrial ovens are used to stain the layers and ensure a strong fixation. This step fixes the colour, enhances gloss and improves durability.
6. Final inspection and details
Quality is rigorously checked and thoroughly inspected for imperfections, irregularities and flaws. This comprehensive process ensures an impeccable corporate image for industrial fleets and corrosion and wear protection.
