Spray Painting & Refinishing

Factory-grade finishes for heavy vehicles with durable, colour-accurate results.
Why This Service Matters

Impact and weather exposure degrade coatings, accelerate corrosion and harm brand presentation. Poor finishes add drag, trap moisture and shorten component life. Wales Heavy Vehicle Repairs delivers truck spray painting and refinishing that restores protection and appearance. We use system-matched coatings, precise colour matching and down-draft bake booths to achieve hard, glossy, long-lasting finishes that meet OEM standards and fleet requirements.

How We Work

We combine specialist paint systems, controlled environments and verified processes to deliver consistent, durable finishes and reduce cycle time.

1
Assessment and Imaging

We inspect substrate condition, note dents, corrosion and previous repairs, and document colours, codes and livery requirements. Photos support quoting and insurer approvals.

2
Clear Quotation and Insurer Liaison

You receive an itemised estimate for surface preparation, materials, panels and decals. We work directly with major insurers to streamline authorisations and set realistic delivery dates.

3
Strip, Repair and Prepare

Trims, lamps and fittings are removed as needed. Panels are repaired or replaced. Surfaces are cleaned, decontaminated, sanded and primed to the paint manufacturer’s specification.

4
Masking and Booth Setup

Vehicles are masked for sharp lines and overspray control. We set booth temperature, airflow and bake profiles to suit the coating system and substrate.

5
Colour Matching and Application

Using spectrophotometers and mixing systems, we match OEM or fleet standards. Basecoats and topcoats are applied with controlled film build for gloss, depth and durability.

6
Baking, Curing and Reassembly

Coatings are baked in down-draft booths for hardness and chemical resistance. Components are refitted, sealants reinstated and electrical items function-checked.

7
QA, Livery and Handover

A second-person QA checks colour, gloss, texture, edges and panel gaps. Decals or reflective markings are applied to specification. You receive images and product data sheets.

Capabilities and Equipment
Large Down-Draft Bake Booths

Full-length booths that cure coatings for hardness, gloss and chemical resistance.

Colour Matching Technology

Spectrophotometers and mixing systems for accurate OEM and fleet colours.

System-Matched Coatings

Primer, base and clear from approved systems for adhesion and durability.

Plastic and Fibreglass Refinishing

Processes for bumpers, fairings and composite panels with correct flex additives.

Corrosion Protection and Sealing

All in-house at major sites to reduce cycle time and maintain quality control.

Quality, Safety and Compliance

Refinishing follows OEM and paint manufacturer methods using certified materials. Technicians are trained to current standards and sites are authorised by leading insurers. We control surface prep, film build and bake profiles, record colour formulas and provide documentation on request. Safety and compliance are never compromised.
