Frequently Asked Questions
What is chassis coating and why is it important?
Chassis coating is the application of a protective layer (such as our advanced polyurea Dura-Coat coating) to the underbody or framework of a vehicle. It’s important because it seals the chassis against rust, corrosion, and damage from stones, moisture, and debris. By preventing metal deterioration and absorbing impacts, a quality coating preserves your vehicle’s structural integrity and extends its lifespan. In short, it’s an investment in longevity and safety for your vehicle.
Does ARV Coatings offer car chassis coating for all vehicle types?
Yes. We provide car chassis coating services for virtually all vehicle types, from 4×4 off-roaders and pickup trucks to caravans, trailers, and standard passenger cars. Our spray-on coating adheres to almost any substrate, including steel or aluminium chassis, forming a seamless protective layer. We originally made our name coating ute tubs (spray-on bed liners), and have expanded to protect everything from mining equipment to boat trailers. Whatever you drive or operate, we can likely coat its chassis or critical components for enhanced durability and rust prevention.
What makes your chassis protection coating different from others?
Our chassis protection coating is built on the Dura-Coat polyurea technology, which is renowned for its superior performance. Unlike basic paints or rubberised undercoats, Dura-Coat bonds at the molecular level to create a tightly sealed, impenetrable shield against the elements. It cures extremely fast and hard, is impervious to water, and won’t chip or crack under stress. In fact, industry experts note that you can strike a Dura-Coat coated surface with a hammer without leaving a dent. This level of impact and abrasion resistance, combined with long-term flexibility, sets our coating apart as one of the toughest on the market.
Will the coating prevent rust and corrosion over the long term?
Absolutely. Preventing rust is one of the primary purposes of our coatings. The polyurea coating creates a 100% waterproof, air-tight barrier over the metal, so moisture and oxygen can’t reach the chassis to cause corrosion. Even in humid or coastal environments, or on muddy, wet off-road tracks, your chassis will be shielded against rust. We’re so confident in the long-term corrosion protection that we back it with a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
Is the coating resistant to UV rays and scratches?
Yes. Our protective coatings are formulated to be UV-stable and scratch-resistant. This means they won’t crack or degrade under intense sunlight, nor will they easily scrape off with everyday wear and tear. In practice, your vehicle’s finish stays looking new longer because the coating absorbs the scuffs and UV damage that would normally fade paint. This UV and scratch resistance is especially beneficial in Australia’s sunny climate and on bush tracks where branches might otherwise leave marks on your 4×4.
How long does the coating last? Do I need to reapply it regularly?
Our coatings are designed to last for many years, often for the life of the vehicle or equipment, when properly cared for. Polyurea coatings like Dura-Coat have exceptional durability; they don’t wear away like wax or thin films. Thanks to high tensile strength and strong adhesion, the coating remains intact and effective under harsh use. You do not need to reapply regularly. Once applied, it provides continuous protection. We stand by this longevity with our lifetime warranty on corrosion protection. Unless the coated surface is subjected to extreme abrasion or damage, reapplication isn’t necessary.
What maintenance is required for a coated chassis or surface?
Very little maintenance is needed. One big advantage of our chassis coating is that it simplifies upkeep. The coated surfaces are easy to clean; usually, a rinse with water will remove dirt and mud, since the coating is non-porous and slick. Unlike bare metal, a coated chassis doesn’t need periodic rust-proofing sprays or repainting. We do recommend checking the coating during routine service intervals just to ensure there are no unusually damaged spots (which is rare). If the coating ever gets gouged by an extreme impact, you can bring the vehicle to us for a quick touch-up. Overall, you’ll likely spend less time and money on maintenance once your chassis is coated.
Can you coat parts and equipment other than vehicle chassis?
Yes, our protective coating is extremely versatile. We can apply our coatings to virtually any parts or equipment that need protection. This includes metal frameworks, bull bars, toolboxes, trailers, boat hulls, industrial machinery parts, and more. For example, we coat farm equipment to prevent fertiliser corrosion, boat decks for a slip-resistant waterproof layer, and even security gates for weather resistance. Our coating adheres to most substrates, so if you have a component that faces harsh conditions, chances are we can shield it with ARV’s coating.
How long does the coating application process take?
The application process is efficient. For a single vehicle (like a ute chassis or 4×4 underbody), we often complete the job within one business day, though exact timing can vary depending on the project size and preparation required. The polyurea coating itself cures in just seconds to minutes after spraying, which means there’s no long wait for drying. However, we take the time for proper surface prep (cleaning and removing any rust) and then allow a short curing period to ensure full strength. For large industrial projects or multiple items, we will provide a tailored timeframe. However, our fast-curing technology significantly minimises your downtime.
