Blackhawk Painting, Inc. provides commercial gas station painting services, to protect convenience stores, canopy decks, metal awnings, car wash tunnels, sales areas against corrosion and graffiti. Gas stations need to protect their image against wear and tear of the high traffic environment as well as maintain regulatory compliance with dispenser decals which is a service we provide.
How can gas station convenience stores combat corrosion?
Heavy vehicle traffic, fumes and spillages from gasoline and other chemicals and moisture from car wash machines and weather create a highly corrosive cocktail with immense impact to gas station infrastructures. By using protective and specialized coatings, paints that are properly installed and maintained by a professional commercial painter reassure trouble-free business operations.
How can gas station painting services protect against graffiti?
Graffiti can’t always be prevented, but precautions can be taken to minimize the cost and labor of removing it. The affected surfaces should be protected, for example, with commercially available anti-graffiti coatings that come in two forms: sacrificial and non-sacrificial.
What are sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings?
Sacrificial anti-graffiti coatings are usually wax based products that form a clear protective film over the treated area and shield it from spray paint or other markings from penetrating into the substrate. Tagging is removed with specialized cleaners and hot pressure water and the anti-graffiti coating must be reapplied on the affected area.
What are non-sacrificial graffiti-resistant coatings?
Non-sacrificial graffiti-resistant coatings are usually polyurethane based products that are applied and function in the same manner as the sacrificial but there is no need to be reapplied after the removal of graffiti.
How can a commercial painting contractor help with ASTs evaporative losses?
Above ground storage tanks (ASTs) present challenges, such as evaporative losses and moisture condensation. Tanks that are painted with a reflective color and specialized coatings can minimize those problems.
