Paint spraying & liquid coatings
We are fully set up to apply a range of advanced colour-match paint systems and protective coating products. Both on-site and off depending on the requirements and scope of work. Our mobile paint-spraying capability uses a portable booth and extraction system, fully tested and approved for use on rail depots.
This allows us to undertake spot repairs in addition to full resprays of cab fronts, doors and other vehicle elements without moving units. If required, we also have access, through our key rail partners to take units off site for full paint overhauls.
Our Stoke site has a paint repair shop and extraction booth for refurbishing and re-spraying various removable and transportable components, which we can handle in bulk volumes.
Our paint facility is suitable for all manner of components including:
- Seating & seat frames
- Panels & facias
- Grills & light clusters
- Handrails
- Fixtures & fittings
