Here’s What’s Included:

 

Arrival/Intake When your aircraft arrives, we carefully inspect it, to document the condition the plane is in when it arrives at our facility. Photographs are taken, and a parts number is generated to help us track all pieces of your aircraft at all times.		Prep Work & Chemical Strip We disassemble and catalog your aircraft’s parts to prep it for paint stripper.  This means covering your windows with three layers of protection and removing flight controls, among other parts. We then mask the panels, openings, and engine intakes, as well as every seam. Taping every seam is a step many other aircraft painters skip, which is why other paint jobs don’t last as long. Once your aircraft is masked, we apply a paint stripper.		Post-Strip Inspection Once stripped, your aircraft is inspected again, and bodywork needs are identified for aluminium components, fiberglass repairs, and any corrosion issues. During this stage, we may recommend exterior plastic replacement, depending on the current condition. In addition to extensive bodywork, we also replace any worn control panel hardware.  We can also help you source replacement parts for anything that needs to be updated in your plane.
Painting We apply a detailed custom paint scheme to your aircraft. We recommend finishing your paint job with a ceramic coating for long-lasting protection and that glass-like shine.		Final Detailing Once your aircraft is painted and fully reassembled, we will complete our final detailing to get it pick-up ready. If requested, exterior windows are polished and the entire aircraft is buffed to create a mirror-like finish. New sealants are installed.		Turn heads With Your Like-New Paint Job Pick-up day is one of our absolute favorites! We love seeing the look on your face when you catch a glimpse of your flying piece of art.  In addition to your post-painting inspection report, we send you home with a touchup kit to help you keep your aircraft looking new.

In addition to our base offerings, we also provide:

• Custom artwork and designs (through our partners at Flight Lines, Scheme Designers, and Evoke)
