Skip and Container Paint

If you are painting bare metal, we would always recommend the use of an undercoat or primer coat first. Regal Skip and Container Paint is made with extra anticorrosive materials, more than regular metal enamel so does give more corrosion protection. This is designed for quickly overspraying existing skip paint or container paint as we know our customers need a speedy turnaround. Our primer paint is designed for bare metal or spot priming, creating an anchor between the metal and the metal paint. So yes, ideally use our red oxide primer or grey oxide primer to undercoat bare metal. Always prepare the surface thoroughly prior to painting.

Regal Skip and Container Paint is manufactured with the addition of calcium phosphate. This gives added protection against metal corrosion. Regal Quick Drying Gloss Enamel doesn’t contain calcium phosphate and is a topcoat enamel.

The Skip and Container Paint can be used alone as an overspray to tidy up painted skips and containers. If used in combination with Regal Anticorrosive Phosphate Primer, there will be an additional level of protection.

Always try to remove rust prior to painting and spot prime if needed.

We make our Skip and Container Paint on a xylene thinner. If you do need to thin back the paint, you can use a standard cellulose thinner. Please do not under any circumstance use a white spirit. Cellulose thinner is a standard thinner for paint and can be found in most DIY stores such as B&Q. We do sell standard cellulose thinner in both 5 litre and 25 litre options – if you would like to add some to your order, please call us on 01782 550733.

Skip Paint is manufactured with the customer in mind. Understanding our market is key and it was in fact Regal Paint who spotted the gap for a product called Skip and Container Paint. In the days BI (Before Internet) we would advertise to skip companies through the paper copy of Industrial Exchange and Mart, selling red oxide primer and onecoat enamel. Realising that speed is of the essence, we started to make a specific product combining the anticorrosive properties of primer with the durability of enamel. Use our skip paint to freshen up the inside or outside of regular skips, enclosed bins, roll on roll off skip containers and to also paint shipping containers. Durable, quick-drying, full of anticorrosive properties, and easy to apply. Regal Skip and Container Paint is the original and the best.
