When it comes to investing in a trailer, durability, longevity, and value retention are key considerations. At Midland, we understand these priorities, which is why we’ve embraced a superior finishing process that sets our trailers apart: powder coating.

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a high-quality, durable finish that provides a much longer-lasting surface than traditional liquid paint. This process involves applying a dry powder to a sandblasted surface, which is then heated in a curing oven. The result is a strong, smooth, and uniform coating that is resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. Unlike traditional paint, powder coating does not require solvents or chemicals, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Why Choose Powder Coating for Your Trailer?

Unmatched Durability

One of the primary advantages of powder coating is its exceptional durability. Unlike liquid paint, which can peel, crack, or blister over time, powder coating forms a tough, protective layer that adheres tightly to the metal surface of the trailer. This makes it more resistant to damage from road debris, harsh weather conditions, and exposure to UV rays. As a result, your trailer maintains its original look and finish for much longer, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups or repaints.

Long-Term Value Retention

The typical paint job on a trailer often requires respraying every 3 to 5 years due to wear and tear. In contrast, trailers that undergo our specialised powder coating process only need to be recoated every 10 years, with minimal maintenance in between. This extended lifespan not only saves you money on maintenance costs but also helps retain the trailer's resale value. A well-maintained trailer with a durable powder-coated finish will always be more attractive to buyers, ensuring a higher resale price when the time comes.

Enhanced Protection Through Sandblasting and Powder Coating

Our process goes beyond just applying a coat of paint. Before powder coating, we thoroughly sandblast each trailer to remove any rust, scale, or old paint, creating a perfectly clean and textured surface. This step is crucial because it ensures maximum adhesion of the powder coating, resulting in a finish that can withstand the rigours of the road for up to a decade. This comprehensive approach—sandblasting followed by powder coating—provides an unparalleled level of protection for your trailer, far exceeding that of conventional paint jobs.

Minimal Maintenance

With a powder-coated trailer, you spend less time and money on maintenance. The coating is highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and fading, meaning it will look great with just a simple wash. There’s no need to worry about scratches, chips, or fading that would typically require costly repairs or repainting. This low maintenance requirement translates to more time on the road and less downtime, providing peace of mind for both business and personal use.

Environmentally Friendly Choice

Powder coating is not only beneficial for your trailer but also for the environment. Unlike traditional liquid paints, powder coatings are free from solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a more environmentally friendly option. The powder is applied electrostatically, which means there is minimal waste, and any excess powder can be recycled and reused.
