Skip Paint: Tips for Preserving Industrial Equipment

In industrial environments, skips are essential for waste management, but they endure tough conditions that can lead to significant wear and tear. Constant exposure to harsh weather, heavy loads, and impacts makes them susceptible to corrosion and physical damage. Applying high-quality skip paint is an effective way to protect these essential tools, shielding them from rust, abrasions, and environmental elements. By enhancing durability, it helps extend the life of skips and reduces the need for costly replacements.

Scallop-shell poppies for Remembrance Day 2022

Painting Poppies for Remembrance Day 2022

The project I would like to submit is not run of the mill, veterans at Battling On a veteran based not for profit community group created over 600 scallop-shell poppies for Remembrance Day 2022. These handmade poppies were made from locally sourced Cornish scallop shells and were hand. In total the veterans made over 600 poppies, they also made silhouettes of soldiers and a war horse as part of a display for Remembrance Sunday. Their hard work and determination earned them a spot-on BBC Spotlight evening news on Remembrance Day, and a prominent role on CountryFile aired on 13.11.22 The veterans also created wreaths with these scallop-shell poppies, and they were placed at Plymouth Hoe, as a centerpiece at the Cornish County Hall, and one was sent on the Routes of Remembrance train up to Paddington station.

Painting gates and railings at Balmoral Castle

We used Regal Paints one coat black enamel to freshen up the Gates and railings at Balmoral Castle for the Queen's jubilee. Little did we know what was going to happen later on in the year, gates were never off the TV. We also used the same coating for new railings around Ballater memorial, again on the TV often after the Queens passing. A few photos attached of both scopes. Regards, Ian Lochnagar Coatings

SHIPPING CONTAINER REFURBISHMENT LIGHT GREY PAINT

Shipping Container Refurbishment by Jackson Painting

Joe tagged us in his Instagram post and we love his shipping container refurbishment project. His before and after photographs show how good a shipping container can look after a coat of Regal Skip and Container Paint! Over the last few years there has been a surge in the use of shipping containers in a business and domestic setting. With their strong structural qualities as well as being quite spacious, we have seen many containers repurposed for use as garden buildings and man-caves, pain-cave home-gyms, secure self-storage and even turned into shipping container shelters and homes.

Bluebird School Bus Conversion

It’s funny how asking customers to show how they have used a drop of paint can bring a smile to your face. Hayley and Simon sent in their photos and email telling us here at Regal Paint of how they have realised their ambition to up sticks and go on the adventure of a lifetime with their family…..in a converted bus! This is the story of the conversion of their bus, not just any bus, but a Bluebird All American Rear Engine (or AARE for short), into their family home.
