Commercial Vehicles:
Our coating product line delivers durable performance, protection, and efficiency for buses, trailers, dump trucks, garbage trucks, commercial vans, tankers, concrete mixers, ATVs, and many other commercial vehicles.
Buses
Buses spend most of their day on the road in all weather conditions. Therefore, paint coatings must provide exceptional resistance to weathering and corrosion to withstand these demanding conditions, while also offering an attractive finish that supports the carrier’s image. Axalta’s global network and over 150 years of experience in the coatings industry allow us to develop and deliver solutions worldwide, tailored to the local needs of our clients. Our Imron® bus coatings, available in both solvent- and water-based formulations, provide excellent long-term corrosion protection in a wide range of colors.
We also understand how important efficiency is on the production line. We support our clients in the bus manufacturing sector not only with traditional application methods but also through technical assistance. Our flexible logistical solutions, such as the mixing machine concept, make paint preparation and application as simple and efficient as possible.
Trailers
Semi-trailers are constantly exposed to harsh operating conditions, like stone impacts on the lower sections or exposure to road salt and moisture. This makes it essential to use coatings that provide long-term protection and maintain an attractive appearance. Axalta offers a wide range of coating systems tailored to different types of semi-trailers, including epoxy and polyurethane primers as well as durable topcoats.
Our products are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, all of which are crucial for transportation companies. Additionally, we provide support in optimizing the coating process, tailoring solutions to the individual needs of our clients and their production requirements.
ATV
Axalta products are durable and reliable paint solutions also for ATVs that have to withstand extreme use, both off-road and in variable weather conditions.
Axalta’s paint systems provide not only excellent protection against corrosion, mud, water and UV radiation, but also an attractive, durable finish that enhances the dynamic character of the vehicle. Our products allow manufacturers and paint shops to achieve scratch, impact and abrasion resistance, key features for machinery operating in demanding terrain.
We offer a wide range of solutions, from high-adhesion primers to matte and metallic topcoats, which can be easily tailored to individual design needs and brand colors. Our flexible approach, technical support and tailored logistics make paint preparation and application a smooth process, regardless of the scale of production.
Tankers
Tankers require reliable paint coatings that can withstand intense use, frequent contact with chemicals and changing weather conditions. Axalta’s paint systems guarantee durable corrosion protection and chemical resistance, which translates into safe use and an aesthetically pleasing appearance over a long period of time.
Our solutions, including Imron® and PercoTop® systems, combine high mechanical resistance with ease of application and broad color options. As a result, customers can count not only on durability, but also on visual consistency with their vehicle fleets. We support manufacturers and paint shops technically and logistically to make the tank car painting process smooth and efficient.

We set the standards for both primers and topcoats. Our polyurethane and epoxy primers deliver excellent performance and corrosion protection, ensuring long-lasting coatings with a high-quality appearance, even in demanding conditions. An example of an epoxy primer is PercoTop® CS389 – a “wet-on-wet” primer.
Additionally, for clients who prefer sanding polyurethane primers, we offer a high-performance 2-component reactive primer that provides excellent resistance to corrosion and moisture in a chromium-free formulation.
