Shipping and Storage Container RAL Colour Chart
RAL Colours
We strongly recommend repainting the exterior of used shipping containers. We re-spray containers using rubberised marine paint, as this can considerably improve the cosmetic appearance of the container (although please note, indentations and flakes will still be visible in outline). Repainting the outside of your second hand container also gives long term value for money as it can extend the useful life of the container by up to five years. We can also offer an interior respray to improve the inside appearance of your container. Please enquire about costs. Please note that when a container is being repainted, the shipping decals are not removed so get painted over.

Once-Used Containers
Once-used shipping containers are all painted externally in either green or blue using a specialist rubberised container paint with rust inhibitors. Please note that any cut down containers will be 'flashed' in a similar colour to the original, the exact shade may not be accurate. If you require a specific colour, please ask a member of our sales team for repainting costs.Disclaimer
