Caravan paint protection in Sydney

Why caravans need protection

A caravan spends long stretches parked in the sun and long days on the road. UV fades and chalks the finish, rain leaves black streaks running down from the awning and windows, and highway grime, bugs and coastal salt build up quickly. Gelcoat and painted panels that aren't protected become harder to clean every trip.

Caravans, campers, RVs and motorhomes

We protect every kind of van: touring caravans, off-road vans, pop-tops, camper trailers, fifth-wheelers, campervans, RVs and motorhomes. Whether it's brand new or has a few summers behind it, the same OptiVAN caravan paint protection goes on, with the preparation matched to the condition of the van. Picking up a new van?

Surfaces we protect

Caravan paint protection covers far more than the walls. Where the surface is suitable, we protect:

• Painted and gelcoat panels: front, sides, rear and roof where accessible
• Checker plate and toolboxes
• Decals and stripes
• Solar panels
• Windows, hatches and skylights: suitable glass, acrylic and perspex
• Headlights, tail lights and indicators

Inside, our package protects lounges and dinette seats, cushions, curtains, carpets, benchtops, splashbacks, cupboards, shower screens and mirrors. See caravan interior protection and what parts of a caravan can be protected.

Caravan ceramic coating vs a cut and polish

Many owners book a caravan cut and polish every year or two to bring back a chalky, faded van. A cut and polish removes light oxidation and restores the gloss, but on its own it leaves little behind to protect the finish, so the chalkiness and black streaks soon return.

Our caravan ceramic coating starts the same way: the van is washed and decontaminated, and light oxidation is polished back where needed. Then OptiVAN goes on and seals in the finish, so it stays protected instead of fading again. Read more about fixing caravan oxidation.

What OptiVAN protection covers

OptiVAN is a ceramic coating made specifically for caravans and motorhomes. On the outside, it forms a slick protective layer over the body, so dirt and black streaks rinse off instead of staining, and the finish keeps its colour and shine for longer. Washing becomes a quick rinse and wipe rather than a full day of scrubbing.

Our OptiVAN package protects the inside of the van as well, so the interior is covered too, not just the walls and roof.

OptiVAN's lifetime warranty covers both the exterior and interior protection on caravans no older than 5 years. Older vans can still be protected, and we'll explain what applies to your van when we quote.

How we do it

We start with a full wash and decontamination of the body, then remove existing black streaks and light oxidation so the coating goes onto a clean, sound surface. The coating is applied panel by panel and left to bond, and the interior is cleaned and protected as part of the same package. We can do the work at your home or in your storage yard, as long as there's water and power nearby.

Getting a quote

Caravans vary a lot in length, height and condition, so every job is assessed individually. Send the make, length and a few photos and we'll get back to you.
