Avan, New Age & Kokoda ceramic coating on the Gold Coast
Off-road touring vans built for punishment.
Off-road vans see corrugations, dust and gravel that a highway van never will. The finish takes a beating, and coating makes the post-trip clean-up dramatically shorter.
What Avan, New Age & Kokoda paint is actually like
Composite or fibreglass panels, often with painted or vinyl-decal graphics and substantial checkerplate protection. Decals need care — aggressive polishing lifts edges.
What we see most on Avan, New Age & Kokodas
Bulldust ingress and abrasion
Fine dust gets everywhere and abrades the finish during washing if it isn't rinsed off first.
Gravel and stone strike
The front and lower sections take stone damage on unsealed roads.
Decal edge lifting
Vinyl graphics lift at the edges when polished aggressively — they need to be worked around, not over.
Storage oxidation
Long periods parked between trips chalk the exposed surfaces.
How we prep a Avan, New Age & Kokoda before coating
Preparation is the job. The coating is the last hour of it.
- 1
Full inspection under LED and swirl-finder lighting, with paint depth readings recorded panel by panel.
- 2
Two-bucket hand wash, wheels and arches degreased, badges and shuts cleaned out.
- 3
Chemical iron and industrial fallout removal, then a clay treatment to lift bonded contamination.
- 4
Tape-up of trim, rubbers and sensitive edges before any machine work.
- 5
Thorough pre-rinse and foam to lift dust before any contact — dry dust is abrasive.
- 6
Decal edges masked and hand-worked rather than machine-polished.
- 7
Panel wipe with a coating-safe solvent to strip polishing oils and reveal the true finish.
- 8
Fireball ceramic coating applied by hand, levelled panel by panel under controlled lighting.
- 9
IR / controlled cure, then a final inspection and handover pack with aftercare instructions.
