Yes. A purchased shipping container can usually be painted before delivery, and yard or shop application is often the cleanest way to control washing, rust preparation, masking, coating conditions and cure time. The order must still identify the exact unit, colour, surfaces included and acceptance standard; a promise to “paint the container” is too vague.
