Container Mods: Custom Paint
When you invest in a shipping container, whether it’s for inventory storage, office space, retail, or another custom use, appearance and durability matter. At NorthCo Storage Solutions, we offer professional paint modifications that transform your container into a polished, customized, and weather-resistant unit. A fresh coat of high-quality paint doesn’t just make your container look great; it also protects the unit from the harsh elements and extends its lifespan.
Why Paint Your Shipping Container?
Shipping containers are built to withstand demanding conditions at sea, in transit, and on varied worksites. Over time, however, exposure to sun, rain, and humidity can cause fading, rust, or general wear. Paint is one of the most cost-effective and impactful upgrades you can make to your container.
Here are some of the main reasons businesses choose to paint their shipping container:
- Improved Appearance: A fresh coat of paint instantly refreshes a container’s appearance. Whether you want to match company branding, create curb appeal, or simply hide scratches and surface wear, paint makes a dramatic difference.
- Protection from the Elements: Steel containers are durable, but they’re still susceptible to corrosion when left untreated. Professional paint adds a protective layer that shields your container from UV rays, rain, and moisture, helping prevent rust and surface degradation.
- Customization Options: With a wide selection of colors available, you can tailor your container to fit your brand or project. Whether you want a neutral tone that blends in or a bold color that stands out, we’ll help you find the right shade.
- Extended Longevity: By preventing rust and slowing down natural wear, painting helps ensure your container remains strong and reliable for years to come. This also gives your business a better return on investment.
Our Paint Process
At NorthCo Storage Solutions, we don’t cut corners when it comes to paint quality or application. We use either marine-grade industrial enamel or water-based coatings from Sherwin-Williams™, which are the same type of protective paint designed for exterior steel surfaces that face extreme environments.
What can you expect when you choose our paint modifications? Learn about our complete process below.
1. Surface Preparation: Before painting, we carefully prepare the container’s exterior to ensure the paint bonds properly and delivers a smooth, long-lasting finish.
2. Professional Application: Our team applies the coating evenly across the entire container, creating a durable finish that also delivers aesthetic appeal.
3. Color Selection: We provide access to a wide range of Sherwin-Williams™ color options. Whether you’re going for a professional, neutral look or want to display bold branding, we’ll help you find the perfect shade.
4. Quality Finish: With a fresh coat of paint, your container not only looks new but also has better protection against the elements. You’re ready to use your new container!
Paint Options for Every Container Use
No matter how you plan to use your shipping container, paint is a valuable upgrade. Some of the most common uses include:
- Storage Containers: Keep your container looking neat on your property while protecting stored goods from changing weather conditions.
- Office Containers: Create a professional, polished appearance for your on-site or mobile office. Fresh paint allows these containers to look completely transformed, allowing your functional office space to make employees feel comfortable.
- Retail & Pop-Up Shops: Match your container to your branding and make it stand out to customers. Our custom paint services empower your business to invite customers into your retail space with ease.
- Worksite Containers: Add a protective finish to withstand tough environments while maintaining a clean, uniform look. No matter where your construction site is located, you can keep your container in excellent condition.
