If the exterior paint on your bulk storage tanks or silos is deteriorating and causing corrosion, now is the time to stop the damage to your valuable asset. As one of the leading silo painting companies, we serve the Petrochemical, Food, Plastics, Asphalt, cement, and all other industries that have silos and bulk storage tank needs, we satisfy our clients every time. We are able to offer preparation services including ultra-high-pressure washing, sandblasting, shot blasting, and CO2 blasting, to name a few.

Confined Space Entry by Certified Silo Painting Company
Certain projects especially tank linings and vessel linings are designated as confined entry (a worker could become quickly incapacitated by becoming exposed to fumes from painting). Many jurisdictions require a dedicated rescue crew to be onsite for the job duration and a rescue plan in place prior to any work proceeding We have the trained Silo painters, systems and procedures to carry out work in a confined space environment both safely and in accordance with the local labour laws.
Our Silo Painting Process
At Induspray, our team of professional silo painters follows a proven, step-by-step process to ensure high-performance results that stand up to harsh industrial conditions. Whether we’re painting a grain silo, chemical storage tank, or food-grade vessel, each project is executed with precision and care.
- Site Assessment & Safety Planning
Every project begins with a full site inspection and hazard assessment. We evaluate structural conditions, access requirements, and confined space considerations. - Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for long-term coating performance. Our silo painting contractors use industrial techniques like abrasive blasting, pressure washing, or mechanical cleaning to remove rust, scale, and existing coatings. - Industrial Coating Selection
Based on the environment, substrate material, and the contents of the silo or tank, we select specialized primers and coatings—ranging from epoxy, urethane, to zinc-rich formulations. - Application Process
Using airless spray equipment or rollers (as needed), we apply coatings uniformly for maximum coverage and film thickness. We comply with all safety requirements, especially in confined spaces and at heights. - Final Inspection & Quality Control
After application, our team performs a full inspection to ensure proper adhesion, thickness, and surface finish. Every job is completed in accordance with industry standards and manufacturer specs.
Safety & Compliance Followed by Certified Silo Painting Contractors
Safety is a core pillar of every project we undertake. As one of the leading silo painting companies in Toronto and Southern Ontario, Induspray is fully compliant with Ontario labour regulations, including confined space entry, fall protection, and hazard control.

FAQs: Silo Painting Services
Can you paint food-grade silos?
Yes. As experienced silo painting contractors, we use coatings that comply with food safety regulations for interiors and exteriors of food-grade silos.
Do you work year-round?
We perform outdoor silo painting seasonally, but interior tank linings and confined space projects can be completed year-round with proper ventilation and climate control.
Is surface preparation included?
Absolutely. Surface prep is a critical part of any industrial painting job. We offer abrasive blasting, power washing, and degreasing as part of every contract.
How often should silos be repainted?
With the highest level of abrasive blasting and the maximum number of coats of primer and tocoats a silo high performance coating system should last 15 to 20 years.
What types of coatings are used on silos?
Common systems include epoxies, zinc-rich primers, urethane topcoats, and elastomeric coatings for concrete. Induspray selects coatings based on weather exposure, chemical resistance needs, and substrate type.
How Much Does It Cost to Paint a Silo?
The cost to paint a silo varies depending on several factors, including:
- Silo Size & Height: Taller or wider silos require more paint, time, and access equipment.
- Material & Surface Condition: Concrete and steel silos may require different surface prep (e.g., sandblasting, pressure washing).
- Coating System Used: Zinc primers, epoxy, or polyurethane coatings vary in price.
- Site Access & Location: Remote or difficult-to-access sites can increase labor and equipment costs.
What does it cost to paint a manufacturing plant?
The cost to paint a manufacturing plant can vary widely depending on factors such as the total surface area, type of surfaces (metal, concrete, etc.), height/accessibility, surface condition, and type of coatings required. For a precise per square ft quote, it's best to request an on-site assessment.
What is the per square foot cost to paint an industrial facility?
The square foot cost to paint an industrial facility typically depends on the type of substrate, level of prep work needed, and coating system used (e.g., epoxy, urethane, rust inhibitors). This estimate includes both surface preparation and application.
