If you’re looking for a custom shipping container for sale, already have a box that needs a fresh look or have a rusty shipping container that needs a full makeover, do you know what shipping container paint colors are available?
How Are Shipping Containers Painted?
Shipping containers are designed to withstand the elements, so normal paint doesn’t stand a chance on your Box (whether it’s sitting in a yard or traveling across the ocean). Because of that, and because shipping containers are made to worldwide ISO standards. Most new shipping containers are coated with a three-part, water-based paint system.
Repainting A Shipping Container: What Kind Of Paint To Use?
Get Simple Box primarily paints Boxes using the RAL color matching system. RAL is an acronym for a European color matching system that is maintained and managed by a non-profit LLC. In the past, it referred only to paint or powder coating, but it is now used world-wide to refer to the color associated with everything from paint, to plastic to other finished goods.At Get Simple Box, we use Heavy-Duty Alkyd Enamel paint in Satin or low-gloss sheen to spray onto the container to get even and full coverage. It’s important to keep in mind that factors like base color and the sheen you choose can slightly affect the appearance of the color you choose.
Our customer’s choice as the most popular color for a Shipping Container is light gray (RAL 7035). Here are the other RAL colors Get Simple Box offers for most container types:
Can You Have Custom Shipping Containers Paint Colors?
Although the color swatches above are often the most common shipping container paint colors, we use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap system to help customers choose the right custom shipping container paint color. The ColorSnap app allows you to upload a photo of the color you want for your Container and then helps you choose the closest match to that color in paint.Here’s an example of a color palette made with the ColorSnap app:
Shipping containers are tough and built to last through harsh conditions, but they don’t always have the reputation of looking shiny and new. If you buy a shipping container that’s going to be delivered to a highly visible location and want it to blend in with the surroundings, a fresh coat of paint may be a wise choice. What if you are starting with a really rough-looking container? Even if the container doesn’t look good now, our shipping container mod teams can clean it up, remove the rust, and make it look brand new with a fresh coat of paint!
