Preparing the way for inspection by the customer

Our customer wanted to refurbish and convert an old and well-used horsebox into a smart and mobile gin bar. We used one of Symblast’s mobile units on-site to carry out the blasting. For this reason, we used a media suitable for the aluminium panels.

Started the blasting to remove the rust and paint

Firstly, the horsebox was blasted inside and out to expose the metal for detailed examination. Secondly, repairs could be undertaken, and the horsebox adapted in readiness for conversion into a mobile gin bar. As a result, the customer could move to the next stage of the conversion.

The finished result – ready for painting

Thirdly, the trailer was then aluminium coated with an acid-etched primer to ensure adhesion of the final coats of paint. In summary, this created a clean surface to optimise the adhesion of the final two coats of paint and created a smart smooth finish.

The benefits to the customer

In conclusion, a two-coat system was applied using Hempel Paints. We coated inside and out creating an easy-to-clean and wipe-down surface. The colours and finish look professional and clean so that it can give years of service.
