What we do
Zinc-rich primers to epoxy marine grades, intumescent fire protection to anti-fouling — applied to N1, N4 and SA standards by airless, conventional or thermal spray.
Manufacturers we apply
We work with paint from Leighs, International, Jotun, Ameron, Hempel, Coroless, Sigma, Remmers, Blakes and Coppercoat among others. Every protective coating we supply and apply can come with the manufacturer’s life-expectancy guarantee plus our own application guarantee.
Coverage
We supply and apply coatings to every market we work in — marine, industrial, commercial and domestic. That includes underwater paint for permanent steelwork protection, copper-coat anti-foul rated for up to 15 years, and high-build paint systems (1000 microns minimum) for the construction industry.
We coat steelwork, fibreglass, wood, brick and stone — and apply hot metal thermal spray in zinc, aluminium and copper for either protection or finish.

Process
How a job runs.
Same shape every time, scaled to the job. Survey first, sign-off last, no surprises in the middle.
-
Step 01
Survey
Site visit or photo review to specify substrate, environment, and the right paint system. Fix the spec before anything gets ordered.
-
Step 02
Prep
Blast to SA standards — coarse media for steel, finer for non-ferrous, low-pressure bead for delicate work. Surface tested before primer.
-
Step 03
Spray
Airless, conventional or thermal spray depending on the system. Wet-film and dry-film thickness measured against spec, layer by layer.
-
Step 04
Sign-off
Pin-hole test on steel, salt test where required, photographs at each stage, manufacturer life-expectancy guarantee on the system applied.
Before / after
Coating — what changes.
Same job, two photos. The kind of result that explains itself.
-
Before
After Marine propeller — anti-foul system
-
Before
After Vehicle components — thermal zinc spray
-
Before
After 27-metre pleasure boat — full hull
