A machine's working parts keep it earning, and its cosmetic parts decide what it is worth. That is not a small distinction: on a used 20-tonne excavator, a tired exterior with faded decals and a cracked cover can cost the seller more in valuation than a full decal kit and set of panels cost to buy. Corbay is the international export brand of Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China. Cosmetic and body parts are a steady category in our export business, requested by dealers preparing machines for resale, by owners repairing insurance damage, and by fleets standardising their livery.

Guangzhou Shenyue Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. stocks 3,000+ part types on the shelf with 100,000+ part numbers available to order, and the cosmetic category sits alongside the mechanical lines โ€” decals, covers, panels and trims are quoted in the same enquiry as filters and undercarriage, which is what makes them practical to buy. This guide covers what the category contains and how to specify it properly.

Decals and Markings

Decal kits carry the machine's model markings and brand graphics, and they matter for two reasons: legal or contractual livery on machines working for a single client, and resale value on machines traded between markets. Specification is mostly a photographic exercise โ€” a picture of each side of the machine shows the markings, their size and their positions. When only part of the livery is damaged, individual panels can be ordered instead of a whole kit, which is usually the cheaper and faster route.

Covers, Hoods and Panels

Engine and radiator covers.Sheet-metal covers take impact damage in demolition, forestry and quarry work. They are part-numbered parts, not sheet-metal fabrication, so the model and serial matter.
Side doors and access panels.Hinges, latches and gas struts are often damaged with the door, so quote them together โ€” a door that arrives without its latch delays the repair.
Cab exterior parts.Mirrors, mirror arms, wiper arms, handles and steps are frequent casualties on narrow sites and in container loading.
Floor mats, seats and interior trim.Low-value, low-weight and easy to add to a shipment โ€” worth consolidating rather than ordering alone.

Specifying by Serial, Not by Photograph Alone

Cosmetic parts carry a hidden trap: paints and livery changed between generations, and the same model sold in different markets wore different markings. A photograph of the machine tells us what it looks like; the serial tells us what it left the factory with. Send both. Where a machine has already been repainted in a dealer's colours, we quote what the buyer asks for rather than the factory scheme โ€” that is a decision for the buyer, and we simply note it on the quotation.

Packing: Where Cosmetic Orders Succeed or Fail

Panels are the classic freight-damage category. They are large, thin and easily bent, and they usually travel in the same crate as heavy items. Our packing method is simple: flat-packed where shape allows, edges protected, separated from steel by rigid dividers, and photographed before dispatch. That photograph is the buyer's proof and our own quality check at the same time.

Grades in a Cosmetic Category

Cosmetic parts are quoted in grades like any other category, and the grade question is worth asking out loud. Genuine decals and covers match the factory colour and material behaviour, which matters on machines traded between markets where livery consistency is checked. OEM-quality and clearly identified aftermarket lines cover repaint and repair work at a lower cost, and for a machine heading to auction or a resale yard that is usually the sensible route. Each line on the quotation is marked, so the buyer compares genuine and replacement options knowing exactly which is which. When a machine is being prepared for a specific client's livery, tell us that in the enquiry and the quotation notes it, because the markings ordered may deliberately differ from the factory scheme.

Common Questions

Can decals be ordered for one panel only?Yes โ€” send a photograph of the damaged area and the machine serial.
Are covers available for older models?Availability varies, which is exactly why the serial matters; we confirm before quoting.
Where do I start?The catalogue shows current stock lines, and the contact page takes the enquiry with photographs.
