Ceramic Coatings: Aircraft Paint Protection
High altitude, high UV flying, large temperature swings, corrosive exhaust, and improper wash and care take their toll on aircraft paint leading to paint oxidation. This process occurs slowly, it is often hard to notice. The new dull finish starts becoming the new normal and over time your aircraft becomes chalky and lackluster.
Our Method.
Paintless Restoration
Our safe and relatively quick process restores the gloss your paint by taking advantage of the paint’s thickness. The loss of gloss due to oxidation happens because the top most layer of paint is damaged, swirled, chalky, stained, or for whatever other reason is no longer reflecting light effectively. By gently removing that damaged layer and leveling any other issues, we reveal a fresh layer of clean paint that looks as good (sometimes better) than new!
Is This Safe?
Is this safe? Yes! We strictly control how little paint we remove. Airplane total paint thickness varies greatly, but lets assume 100 microns (1/10th of a millimeter). In most cases the amount of paint removed is so minute, about 1-5 microns ( 1/1000th of a millimeter), it is hard to measure a difference in paint thickness, even with a digital paint thickness gauge.
This process by itself will pay huge dividends on the ramp, making your plane stand out. It takes a couple of days for most aircraft and is significantly cheaper, and quicker than repainting.
