Selecting Construction Machinery Paint: ACR Pro Touch Up vs Pilot II Pro Finish

Construction machinery plays a vital role in various industries, from building infrastructure to landscaping projects. Besides their functional importance, the appearance of these machines can also leave a lasting impression.

To maintain and enhance the condition of construction equipment, including dumpers, excavators, loaders, and more, HTS Spares offers two quality paint options: ACR Pro Touch Up and Pilot II Pro Finish.

Read on to explore the differences between these two paint types and how they can help improve the look and condition of your construction equipment. Also included is a video of Kingsley talking through the highlights of each of the two paint types.

ACR Pro Touch Up Paint

ACR Pro Touch Up Paint is a specialised acrylic coating designed for minor touch-ups and repairs on construction machinery. It is formulated to match the original colour of your equipment, providing seamless coverage for small scratches, chips, or areas that require minor touch-ups. HTS Spares offers a wide range of ACR Pro Touch Up paint colours, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your machinery. 

Key features and benefits of ACR Pro Touch Up Paint:

  2. Seamless touch-ups: ACR Pro Touch Up paint has a semi-gloss finish which seamlessly blends with the original colour, making repairs virtually invisible.
  3. Easy application: The paint comes in a convenient 400ml aerosol spray can, allowing for precise application, even in tight or hard-to-reach areas. It is also available in 1 litre and 5 litre tins so the product can be brushed, sprayed or rolled on.
  4. Quick drying: ACR Touch Up paint dries quickly (in as little as 15 minutes!) minimising downtime and allowing you to get back to work sooner.
