Piranha Chippers are coated with premium industrial-grade PPG Paint, produced locally at the PPG Clayton facility in Melbourne, situated less than 30 kilometers from our manufacturing headquarters in Bayswater North, Victoria, Australia. Our commitment to supporting local businesses is unwavering, and when we state that Piranha Chippers are Australian made, we ensure it by utilizing the highest quality components. Whenever possible, we source these components locally, as exemplified by our use of PPG paint.
We utilize the Delfleet® 2-pack paint system from PPG, a premium industrial paint that incorporates a color-matched 2-pack undercoat primer followed by glossy 2-pack top coat layers. This process ensures that Piranha Chippers receive optimal protection against environmental elements. The Piranha Blue color is a unique shade, developed exclusively for Piranha Chippers by PPG.
Are you aware of the primary distinction between Piranha Chippers and many other mainstream manufacturers? At Piranha, we meticulously paint each component individually before assembling the final machine. This ensures that all sides and edges of every metal part are coated with the durable PPG paint protection system. In contrast, larger manufacturers typically weld or assemble the entire chipper from raw steel and only paint the visible and accessible parts, which is less than ideal.

PPG has used its extensive knowledge and longstanding expertise in the commercial transport (CT) industry to create the DELFLEET® EVOLUTION paint system, specifically designed for commercial vehicles.
Delivering consistently high performance and tough durability, the Delfleet® Evolution system has become a well-established brand and trusted solution for vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators around the globe.
When it comes to paint and coatings, the requirements of the CT sector are particularly demanding due to the size of the vehicles, long distances travelled and harsh weather conditions.

These high-solids coatings are easy to apply to large surface areas and provide exceptional gloss and long-lasting durability, even in extreme conditions.
The Delfleet® Evolution system is available in a wide range of fleet and factory colour formulations, thanks to PPG's extensive relationship with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). So whether applied by an OEM or as part of a CT refinishing process, the outstanding performance of the Delfleet® Evolution system makes this the ideal choice to reduce cycle times and increase paint shop efficiency.
