WHAT WE OFFER: AUTOMOTIVE PROTECTIVE COATINGS

Line-X caravan suspension from ARV

ARV Coatings provides high-performance automotive protective coatings for vehicles exposed to rough use, outdoor environments, and heavy loads. Our coating technology is based on high-grade polyurea systems, offering extreme resistance to abrasion, moisture, and UV degradation.

Each application is custom-fitted to your vehicle’s needs, with a consistent spray that bonds directly to the surface. The result is a protective layer that seals the substrate, prevents corrosion, and adds a durable, textured finish that looks clean and professional.

Our vehicle protective solutions are ideal for:

  • 4WD interiors and exteriors
  • Wheel arches and underbodies
  • Chassis rails and fuel tanks
  • Service bodies, canopies, and toolboxes

The coating cures rapidly, offers excellent chemical resistance, and creates a non-slip surface that’s easy to clean, making it perfect for tradies, off-roaders, and commercial operators alike.

COMMON APPLICATIONS FOR AUTOMOTIVE COATINGS

ARV’s automotive protective coatings are used across industries where vehicles take a beating from daily work or recreational use. We apply each coating with precision and attention to detail, ensuring maximum adhesion and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are automotive protective coatings?
These coatings are spray-applied barriers designed to protect your vehicle’s surfaces from rust, abrasion, and impact. They’re commonly used on underbodies, exterior panels, and other high-wear vehicle areas to improve durability and lifespan.

Are your coatings suitable for off-road vehicles?
Absolutely. Our protective coating for cars and 4WDs is ideal for rough terrain, mud, water, and constant vibration. It helps preserve your chassis, wheel arches, and other exposed parts.

Will the coating affect the resale value of my vehicle?
In most cases, it enhances resale by preventing visible damage and corrosion. The neat finish and durable protection make the vehicle more appealing to buyers.

How long does the coating last?
With correct application and maintenance, our coatings last for many years. They are resistant to UV, wear, and weathering and backed by our lifetime corrosion warranty*.

Do you coat vehicle underbodies and chassis rails?
Yes. We provide strong, seamless coverage for undercarriage components, including chassis rails, fuel tanks, and suspension mounts. This is particularly useful for trades or off-road users.

Is the finish textured or smooth?
The standard finish is textured for improved grip and impact resistance, especially in cargo areas. A smooth finish can be applied if requested, depending on the application.

How long does it take to complete the coating?
Most small vehicle coating jobs can be completed within 1-2 business days. Larger fleet or complex work may take longer, but we always aim for fast turnaround.
