How does airplane paint repair work, and how long does it take?
Airplane paint repair is a specialized process that starts with inspecting your aircraft’s finish for damage or wear. We carefully sand and prep the affected area, match the existing paint, and apply new coatings to restore your aircraft’s appearance and protect it from the elements. Most touch-up jobs and minor repairs can be completed within a few days, while larger repairs may take up to a week. If you want your aircraft looking its best again, contact us for a custom quote and timeline.
What are the benefits of a custom aircraft paint job?
A custom aircraft paint job not only enhances your plane’s appearance but also offers improved protection and personalized branding. Custom paint allows you to showcase unique colors, logos, or designs that set your aircraft apart. Quality paint jobs safeguard the airframe against corrosion and UV damage, adding value and extending the life of your investment. Thinking of upgrading your aircraft’s look?
