OVERLAND TRAILER COATINGS
Polyurea All-Purpose Protection for Off-Road Travel Storage
INVEST IN YOUR ADVENTURE!
It’s nothing short of a great American pastime to hop in the car and get to exploring everything our incredible country has to offer. Deserts, lakes, forests, plains, highlands – you name it, we got it. However, unless you’re fortunate enough to live amongst one of these incredible landscapes, setting out on a new adventure means careful planning and efficient transport of not just you and your family or friends, but also all the tools and equipment you’ll need to survive, and in fact, thrive in the great outdoors. What you choose to use to accomplish this is up to you, with countless options available including RVs, motorhomes, travel trailers, camper vans, and one of our personal favorites, the overland trailer.
Built tough and multifunctional for challenging outdoor excursions, overland trailers are towed behind off-road vehicles, intended for remote locations where you’ll be left to your own devices. It’s the perfect balance between the functionality of larger cargo vehicles and the simplicity of car camping, and at a more modest price point than many of its alternatives, the overland trailer is both the everyman’s and the enthusiast’s off-road companion. And like with any good friendship, it’s all about looking after each other, so take care of your overland trailer as well as it takes care of you by installing overland trailer coatings. Made of strong yet flexible materials technology like polyurea, overland trailer coatings are the easiest, longest-lasting, and most cost-effective means of upgrading both the style and longevity of your most essential of outdoor accessories.
FULL-SURFACE PROTECTION
IN ANY ENVIRONMENT
Overland trailers aren’t built specifically for the jungle, or the desert, or the arctic, or anywhere else in particular, but they are built tough enough for you to build your own adventure anywhere accessible to your off-road vehicle. In fact, this is one of the key advantages of off-road trailers; good luck trying to drive your Winnebago deep into the Sonoran Desert or far up into the Rocky Mountains, but with overland trailers, your cargo can come with you just about anywhere. However, that doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing, sunshine, and rainbows. Hauling hundreds if not thousands of pounds of equipment of all kinds, bumping and bashing all along the way, overland trailers benefit massively from the protection of overland trailer coatings. Scorching UV radiation, fluctuating temperatures, automotive chemicals, abrasive brush and debris, forceful shaking and vibrations, and more can be commonplace on just one single adventure, so imagine what a series of back-to-back excursions can do, let alone a decade of family fun or brotherly bonding. Overland trailer coatings can be applied to individual components or entire trailers, resisting the myriad sources of stress or strain that can necessitate costly repairs and replacements and put you out of commission from having any extended quality time in the great outdoors. It’s as simple as spray, cure, and boom – you’ll be back on the trail and ready to take your adventures to new heights with confidence.
BLEND IN OR STAND OUT
Almost any overland trailer, used anywhere for anything, can benefit from overland trailer coating’s full-surface protection, but many owners are just as excited about their potential to upgrade their trailer’s aesthetic appeal or visual functionality. For hunters, bird watchers, or anyone who simply likes to keep a low profile, overland trailer coatings can be formulated in camouflage designs or other inconspicuous colors and patterns so that your trailer is your lifesaver, and not your downfall. For those not pursuing one of the subtle arts of the wilderness, many prefer to use overland coatings as a unique way to customize their trailer’s design to match their other gear, or help create the right mood at the campsite where your trailer is your home away from home. Heck, even for those times where you’re not outdoors, whether driving to and fro, or parked outside your home, there’s never a wrong time to look good!
ALL-PURPOSE, ALL-TERRAIN POLYUREA PROTECTION
While any overland trailer coating is better than no overland trailer coating, the quality and performance of different technologies and formulations make a significant impact on the longevity of your installation, and consequently, your overland trailer. For the best of the best when it comes to combined strength, flexibility, affordability, convenience, and sustainability, there’s one technology that’s a full head above the rest: polyurea. Polyurea is an innovative elastomer technology, applied using high-pressure spray equipment and reacting on-site for quick and convenient installation. After one of the fastest curing times of any commercial-grade protective coating, your trailer will be back in action, ready for any trail in any environment. That’s because polyurea is tough and highly resistant, both to chemical and mechanical sources of wear and tear. So feel free to drive through the mud, dense foliage, or any greasy garage, and your trailer will shrug it off like you’re pulling into your neighborhood. Moreover, if you’ve invested in high-quality off-road equipment, then you’re sure to love and appreciate nature in all its glory, and thus will be happy to hear that polyurea is also safer and more sustainable than alternative coating technologies like epoxy for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Made of 100% solids and with no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), polyurea overland coatings aren’t just the best choice for performance, but for the planet, as well as for the health and safety of owners and applicators alike. The point is, polyurea is an exceptional materials technology perfectly suited to serve as the ultimate overland trailer coatings, with nowhere better to look for the highest quality formulations than ArmorThane!

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Overland trailer coatings are a type of specialty materials used to protect - you guessed it - overland trailers! These modest cargo trailers are made for efficiency and mobility, and can be taken just about anywhere, so long as your off-road vehicle can get there too. However, this means overland trailers are exposed to extensive physical and chemical wear, but can be protected with overland trailer coatings like polyurea that are capable of resisting a wide range of human and environmental hazards.
We believe that paints are best left for the art studio or the classroom, and that any surface exposed to the elements or harsh operating conditions should enjoy a level of combined style and protection that’s difficult if not impossible to achieve with paints alone. Overland trailer coatings offer enhanced protective performance along with the same customization afforded by specialty paints, with the added benefit of functionalized surfaces like unique textures for better slip resistance.
Overland trailers are used in diverse environments, and can be exposed to everything from abrasive gusts of sand to the frozen ballistics we call hail.
