Interior Repainting for Shipping Containers

Used shipping containers can be anywhere from 10-15 years old, and will be retired shipping containers who have circled the globe carrying various cargo. As such, both the outside and inside of the container are likely to have rust spots (perfectly normal, but can be unsightly), dents and scratches. For many customers, an exterior repaint is a way to improve the outside of the container, however to improve the look of the inside, we can offer a full interior respray. In short, fi you are concerned about the inside appearance, then an interior repaint would help. We would first wire brush down the container to remove any surface rust, and then use a primer before painting.

Our standard interior colour is RAL7035, Light Grey, to closely match the original internal colour. We would suggest this option if you're going to be putting furniture or other valuable items against the walls to prevent any rust stains spreading. This would also be our recommended suggestion if you are using a second hand container for a major conversion project. We understand that many of our customers work to a budget, and sometimes a once used container is just a little too far out of range. If you do decide to scale back and base your conversion on a used container, an interior repaint can instantly improve the appearance of the container without breaking the bank.
