3 Ways to Freshen Up Your Commercial Truck's Body and Paint

If you have a commercial truck, your body and paint will likely take a beating on the job. While the body can be repaired easily, the paint may need more attention if it has been scratched, chipped, or otherwise damaged. Fortunately, there are several ways to freshen up your commercial truck’s body and paint, depending on your needs and budget.

Here are three of them to consider:

1) Washing and waxing

Many commercial truck owners are not aware that they should wash and wax their trucks regularly. It is important to keep the body of your truck in good condition because it can help prevent rust, which can cost you more money in the future. It will also make your vehicle more attractive by giving it a fresh appearance. To properly care for your commercial truck, you should wash it with soap and water, rinse it off with clean water, dry it off with a towel, apply car wax or polishing compound all over the vehicle's surface (including door jams), then buff it off using a soft cloth or other kinds of material. Many products on the market will do this for you if you prefer not to do it yourself.

 

2) Touching Up Paint Chips

One of the most affordable ways to freshen up your commercial truck's body and paint is by touching up paint chips. You can do this yourself or hire a company that specializes in commercial truck body repair.

If you're going to touch up paint chips yourself, here are a few tips:

 

●      Start with the chips that have already peeled off, as these will be easier to replace than ones that have been partially eaten away.

●      You'll need good-quality matching-color spray paint, an automotive touch-up pen, and an eye dropper. For larger spots, you may need more than one eye dropper to cover them completely.

●      Carefully use the eye dropper to pour small drops of paint onto the damaged area. Make sure that each drop covers as much area as possible without spilling over onto any other part of the commercial truck body.

●      Wait until each drop dries before adding another to avoid accidentally mixing colors.

3. Adding Decals or Graphics

Adding decals or graphics can be a good way to freshen up the body of your commercial truck. When you choose graphics, it is best to find ones that are in line with the image you want for your company. You should also keep in mind what type of paint job has been done on your truck if you want a graphic that will cover it. If you have scratches on the exterior of your truck, consider getting those fixed first before adding any decals or graphics. Commercial truck body and paint companies can help you fix those scratches quickly. They will frequently buff out the scratch and then apply a protective clear coat that is resistant to chemicals so that it does not reappear as quickly.
