Customer Background
A customer from the rugged West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island approached our team with his 4WD Toyota van. As an avid hunter, he frequently travels through the challenging terrain of the Southern Alps – an environment known for its rough tracks, loose rock, and dense bush. He wanted a durable protective coating that would allow him to explore freely without worrying about panel damage or scratched paintwork.
The Challenge
The customer’s main concern was protecting the van’s exterior from the harsh conditions of off-road use. Traditional paint systems simply couldn’t provide the impact resistance or durability required for frequent exposure to gravel, branches, and mud. He needed a long-term solution that would look good while offering serious protection.
Our Solution
After assessing the condition of the vehicle and discussing performance expectations, we recommended Speedliner, a premium urethane polymer coating designed for maximum toughness and longevity.
Our process included:
- Surface Preparation: We thoroughly prepared the van’s panels to ensure a strong bond between the substrate and the Speedliner coating.
- Application: The Speedliner product was expertly applied to the van’s exterior using controlled spray techniques to achieve a uniform, textured finish.
- Curing & Finishing: Once cured, the coating provided a seamless, highly durable surface capable of withstanding extreme conditions.
The Result
The customer’s 4WD van now features a resilient, impact-resistant exterior finish that not only protects against scratches and corrosion but also enhances the vehicle’s rugged appearance. With Speedliner applied, he can confidently navigate the demanding tracks of the Southern Alps knowing his vehicle is fully protected.
