Getting the Vehicle Dents Out Before the Paint Job

About three years ago I had my car repainted, but I couldn't afford to have the dents that were apparent fixed first. The paint job looked great, but it sure did make the dents stick out like a sore thumb. In fact I was so uncomfortable with the outcome that I purposely scratched the paint near the dents in an effort to make the damage look more "natural" and less noticeable. It worked, but I was left back at square one. So I went about the process of learning how to fix the dents myself while I saved up for another paint job. What I learned is that it's completely feasible to fix minor body damage without the need for costly service appointments. So, I decided to post some of the options that I've personally used with success on this blog. I hope the information here is helpful to you!

If you have military equipment that needs to be safeguarded from the elements, there are plenty of military-grade spec coatings that you can purchase and add onto this equipment for extra durability. Just make sure you work with a supplier of said coatings in the following ways.

Review Supplier's Experience with Military Equipment 

Before you start ordering military spec coatings from a supplier, you want to verify they're experienced supporting particular equipment that you'll be treating with military spec coatings. You then will have added assurances because the supplier is well aware of each piece of equipment's coating needs.

This process ensures the search process goes by a lot faster since suppliers can quickly recommend optimal spec coatings for certain equipment, whether it's tactical gear you'll be using in the field or vehicles that are going through harsh environments. 

Figure Out a Coating Duration Preference 

Military spec coatings are unique in that they can hold up for different amounts of time. Some are rated to hold up on military equipment for years while others are better suited for short-term projects. Make sure you tell your military spec coating supplier what you're looking for in this regard.

Think about what equipment needs these protective coatings and how long they're truly be needed based on operations taking place. Short-term coatings will cost less, while coatings with longer durations won't have to be re-applied as often.

Understand What Specific Class to Get

Military specification coatings will vary by the classes they fall into. There are a lot of classes nowadays and it's important to know what is relevant for the military equipment you're looking to support. Then you can trust a coating's properties are relevant and will do a good job at keeping damage from taking place. 

Make sure you find a coating supplier that organizes all of their coating products by class and verify it's in the description somewhere. Then you'll have a better understanding of how durable different coating products are and the equipment they are meant to support coming out of a manufacturing facility.

Military equipment is going to stand up a lot better to the elements when spec coatings are applied to them. You can work with a supplier to receive these specialty coatings. Just make sure you find a good fit that lets you easily order compatible spec coatings for particular equipment that needs added protection. Then you can better manage equipment repair costs. 

If you are uncertain of the process or have more questions, contact a military specification coating supplier.
