1. Assess
Confirm substrate, existing coating condition, corrosion, joints and whether refurbishment is technically appropriate.
CLADDING SPRAYING · RESPRAYING · RECOATING
Commercial & industrial cladding spraying.
Bring faded or weathered commercial cladding back to life with an on-site refurbishment process built around the existing substrate: assessment, preparation, local defect treatment and compatible spray-applied coating.
On-site spraying
Commercial cladding recoating without removing sound panels.
RAL colour restoration
Restore an existing colour or specify a suitable new finish.
Up to 25-year pathway
TopSpray 35 warranty pathways are subject to specification and manufacturer requirements.
Supply or installation
Buy the system, learn it, or send the project to Forti Nova.
THE METHOD
Cladding respraying is a refurbishment process, not a shortcut.
The spray gun is the final visible stage. Most of the performance is decided before that point by substrate identification, preparation, corrosion control, detail repairs and the selected coating system.
2. Prepare
Clean and prepare the surface so the new system has the condition required by its technical specification.
3. Treat details
Prepared exposed steel or corrosion areas may require the specified corrosion primer; laps and joints may need compatible flexible sealing.
4. Spray coat
Apply the specified cladding coating under suitable conditions and to the required project specification.
5. Check
Confirm visual finish and the project quality requirements before handover.
6. Maintain
Follow the relevant inspection and maintenance guidance to protect the refurbished asset.
WHAT CAN BE SPRAYED?
Common commercial cladding substrates.
Pre-coated steel
Common profiled metal cladding. Existing coating condition, corrosion and adhesion determine the preparation and system route.
Aluminium cladding
May be suitable where the substrate and existing finish can accept the specified preparation and primer system.
Composite panel outer skins
May be refurbished where the panel remains structurally suitable and joint, core and fire-performance issues do not require another intervention.
PROBLEM → ROUTE
What are you trying to fix?
Faded or chalking cladding
Start with the refurbishment coating route and confirm the existing coating remains suitable.
Cut-edge corrosion
Treat the corrosion condition correctly before the main coating; prepared steel areas may require UNI-RW where specified.
Failed laps or joints
Check whether local sealing with a compatible flexible product such as MonoSealant is required before coating.
Water ingress
Identify the actual ingress route first. Mechanical defects and perforations cannot be solved by simply spraying over them.
WHEN NOT TO SPRAY
Some cladding needs more than a new coating.
Perforated or materially weakened panels
Unresolved structural or fixing failure
Water ingress caused by open mechanical defects
Panel systems requiring replacement for fire or compliance reasons
Existing coatings that cannot be prepared to accept the proposed system
CLADDING SPRAYING QUESTIONS
Straight answers before you specify a system.
What is commercial cladding spraying?
Commercial cladding spraying is the on-site preparation and spray application of a compatible refurbishment coating to existing cladding. The substrate and existing coating must remain suitable for refurbishment before any system is specified.
Can faded cladding be resprayed?
Often, yes. Fading and chalking can be suitable refurbishment triggers where the existing coating remains sufficiently sound and the substrate has not progressed to perforation, structural failure or another condition that requires replacement.
What cladding can be spray coated?
Profiled coated steel, suitable aluminium and compatible composite panel outer skins may be candidates for spray coating. Substrate identification, existing coating condition and adhesion must be considered before specification.
Is cladding spraying the same as cladding painting?
The phrases are often used interchangeably in searches. On commercial projects, the important distinction is the process: substrate assessment, preparation, local corrosion or joint treatment, compatible primer where required, controlled spray application and quality checks.
Can cladding be changed to a different RAL colour?
Yes, colour restoration or colour change can be part of a cladding refurbishment project. Final colour availability depends on the selected coating system and project specification.
How long can a cladding refurbishment last?
Service life depends on substrate condition, preparation, system specification, exposure and maintenance. TopSpray 35 has warranty pathways of up to 25 years where the project meets the agreed manufacturer specification and warranty requirements.
When should cladding not be sprayed?
Spraying should not be used to conceal perforated panels, structural failure, unresolved water ingress, incompatible existing coatings or compliance issues that require replacement or another construction solution.
Can I buy the cladding coating and apply it myself?
Yes. SprayMyCladding provides a direct buying route with technical information and training support. If you prefer a delivered project, use the installation enquiry route.
