The average process time for a complete aircraft paint job is 5-6 weeks. This all depends on the condition of the aircraft, as well as the design that the customer is choosing to go with.  Here’s a breakdown of our process:

– Inspect aircrafts exterior to document any prior damage and determine extent of work to be performed

– Remove all control surfaces. Ensuring to properly store and label all hardware and items removed

– Mask off all windows, pitot tubes, landing gears, control surface areas we deem and all areas we deem necessary for a safe and efficient paint stripping/removal process

– Stripping process is completed using Bio – degradable and environmentally safe paint strippers. The aircraft and its control surfaces are coated multiple times to achieve a clean finish bare aluminum finish

– Fix any imperfections on metals, fiberglass and plastics as required as well as apply filler and epoxy primers as required
