Body Finish:

Special Finish Requirements:

The Finish application and adhesion is a very important aspect of a finished IDOT truck. It is a necessity that ALL manufactured ferrous equipment attached to an IDOT truck be completely prepped, sanded or media blasted to remove all mill scale, oils, rust, shipping primers or other contaminants from its surfaces. This includes all mounting brackets, snowplow hitch, underbody scraper, wings, pintle plate, oil tank, valve enclosures and dump bodies. All items must be coated individually prior to any assembly that is needed.

Manufacturers’ standard painting application processes to be practiced. These may include the use of base coat/clear coat application. Other applications will be considered if discussed and agreed to prior to production. The Illinois Department of Transportation will be the only source to approve any other alternative to the products listed. Any proposed product must be lead free with low VOC levels.

Powder coat will be equal to a TGIC Super Durable polyester powder with additives for UV and wear resistance. The powder coating to meet a minimum of 1,500 hours salt spray test per ASTM B-117 testing. Documentation to be submitted upon request.

Approved colors for dump body are Fleet orange matching cab or manufacturer’s standard black.
