Vehicles and equipment that keep looking sharp.
Calcium, salt, gravel, pressure washing, freeze-thaw: trucks, trailers and equipment take a beating here. MMA supplies shops, fleets and contractors with systems that protect, hold their colour and free up the booth sooner.
Who it is for
Fleets and trucking
Log hauling, bulk, delivery, municipal vehicles: fleet colours that match from one vehicle and one order to the next.
Trailers, dump bodies and flatbeds
Steel, aluminum and galvanized, each with its own prep and adhesion primer.
Heavy and forestry equipment
Abrasion, impact, oil and weather; manufacturer colours for repaints.
Farm equipment
Fertilizer, manure, humidity and sun: finishes that hold up, waterborne or high-solids.
Fabrication shops
Fabricated parts to prime and finish fast, without piling up products in inventory.
What we offer
Direct-to-metal primers
They bond straight to prepared steel, aluminum or galvanized: fewer steps, fewer products, more parts per shift.
Anti-corrosion primers
Epoxies and zinc-rich primers for the most exposed frames, fifth wheels, dump bodies and underbodies.
High-solids topcoats
Single-stage or base and clear that resist UV, calcium and pressure washing, and keep their gloss.
Fleet and OEM colours
Your fleet colours or the equipment maker’s, matched order after order.
Fast drying
Fast-drying systems with fewer coats: the booth frees up sooner and the vehicle gets back on the road faster.
Chassis protection
Rust removers and converters, chassis coatings, cavity wax and anti-chip coatings.
Truck bed liners
Textured protection against abrasion and impact for pickup boxes and work surfaces.
Waterborne systems
Less solvent, less odour and lower fire risk in the shop, depending on your drying equipment.
Aerosol touch-up
Equipment-maker colours, 2K primers and clears in aerosol for small areas.
A system that holds up in our climate
- Prep Degreasing, then sanding or mechanical prep depending on the metal. On aluminum and galvanized, a dedicated adhesion primer is essential.
- Primer Anti-corrosion on steel, direct-to-metal to save a step, thicker under the frame and in gravel-exposed areas.
- Topcoat High-solids, UV- and wash-resistant, in the exact fleet colour.
Frequently asked questions
What system for trucks exposed to calcium and salt?
An anti-corrosion primer (epoxy or direct-to-metal) on well-prepared metal, then a high-solids topcoat that resists UV and pressure washing. The frame and underbody get a thicker protection.
Can you match my fleet colours or the original equipment colours?
Yes. Commercial vehicle systems cover a wide range of fleet and equipment-maker colours. Give us the code or a sample.
How do I cut downtime in the booth?
Fast-drying systems, direct-to-metal primers (one step less) and single-stage topcoats. Fewer coats means less handling and more vehicles per shift.
Waterborne or solvent for farm and heavy equipment?
Both exist. Waterborne systems cut VOCs, flammability and solvent exposure; the right choice depends on your drying equipment and the shop’s temperature and humidity.
Which VOC rules apply to my shop?
Refinishing vehicles, including trucks, and mobile equipment, including trailers, falls under SOR/2009-197: for example 250 g/L for a clear or primer surfacer and 420 g/L for a colour or single-stage coating.
Can aluminum or galvanized flatbeds and trailers be painted?
Yes, with the right prep and an adhesion primer designed for these metals. Without it, the paint can peel.
Are polyurethane topcoats hazardous?
They contain isocyanates, which can cause occupational asthma. Spraying calls for a supplied-air respirator and a ventilated booth. We provide the safety data sheets and isocyanate-free options depending on the use.
