What is Trailer Coatings?

Trailer floors endure unique stress that destroys standard epoxy—highway vibration, thermal cycling, and constant impact from loading and unloading. While spray-on polyurea systems are common in the industry, they produce a rough, textured finish with limited color options—typically solid black or grey. Our decorative high-elongation polyaspartic system delivers comparable durability in a visually appealing multi-layer build with custom color choices. The flexible base moves with the trailer, decorative flake provides character and slip resistance, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat handles sun, fuel, and chemical exposure.

How It Works

We start with aggressive surface preparation—grinding or sanding to create mechanical adhesion on wood or metal trailer substrates. The high-elongation polyaspartic base layer is designed for surfaces that move—it stretches and rebounds with the trailer during highway travel instead of cracking and delaminating like rigid epoxy. Decorative vinyl flakes are broadcast into the wet base for texture, appearance, and anti-slip properties. A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals everything, providing chemical resistance against fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, and cleaning products, plus UV protection for outdoor storage.

Ideal For

Enclosed cargo trailers
Toy haulers and RVs
Landscaping and contractor trailers
Race and motorsport haulers
Mobile work units and tool trailers
Horse and livestock trailers
Utility and equipment trailers
Food service and concession trailers

Key Benefits

Decorative Custom Options

Unlike spray-on liners with limited solid colors, choose from dozens of flake colors and blends for a custom look

Smooth Professional Finish

Attractive finished appearance vs the rough sandpaper texture of spray-on liners

Handles Temperature Extremes

Performs through Alberta's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, peeling, or delaminating

Chemical and Fuel Resistant

Polyaspartic topcoat handles gasoline, diesel, oil, hydraulic fluid, and cleaning chemicals

UV-Stable

Resists yellowing and chalking even with outdoor storage and sun exposure

Anti-Slip Texture

Flake broadcast creates reliable traction when wet—critical for safe loading and unloading

Protects Wood Floors

Seals substrate from moisture, rot, and chemical damage—extends floor life significantly

Moves With Your Trailer

High-elongation polyaspartic stretches and rebounds with trailer movement instead of cracking like rigid epoxy

Our Installation Process

1

Surface Assessment

Inspecting the floor for damage, rot, moisture content, and existing coatings. We determine if repairs or substrate replacement are needed before coating.

2

Surface Preparation

Grinding or sanding to create proper adhesion profile. Existing coatings, paint, or sealers must be removed. Wood floors are checked for moisture and rot.

3

High-Elongation Polyaspartic Base Coat

Applying the flexible base layer that bonds to the substrate and moves with the trailer during travel. This is the critical layer that prevents cracking—standard epoxy fails here.

4

Flake Broadcast

Broadcasting decorative vinyl flakes into the wet membrane for texture, appearance, and slip resistance. Flake also adds thickness and impact resistance.

5

Scrape and Vacuum

After curing, removing loose flakes and preparing a clean, uniform surface for the final topcoat.

6

Polyaspartic Topcoat

Sealing with UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat for chemical resistance, fuel/oil protection, and long-term durability.

Care & Maintenance

Sweep out debris regularly—gravel, dirt, and sand can scratch any coating over time. The sealed surface can be hosed out or pressure washed without damage. For stubborn stains from fuel, oil, or chemicals, use a mild degreaser and rinse thoroughly. The textured flake surface handles the demands of trailer use while remaining easy to clean. Avoid dragging sharp edges across the surface during loading.
