Great Aircraft exterior painting and refurbishment must not only look great, but must withstand the test of time. At Flex Aero Painting, we use only top-quality, proven products and spare no steps to ensure your aircraft receives “the best” paint job – we guarantee it!

The first step is to do a thorough inspection of the aircraft. Once all cosmetic and mechanical problems have been noted and provided to the customer for review the sensitive parts of the aircraft including flight controls are removed or protected with aluminum and plastic sheeting, then a non-acidic, environmentally friendly chemical stripper is applied.

After the aircraft is stripped of all exterior paint, cosmetic flaws are removed and corrosion control begins. Next, a three-step process begins with another hand washing. This time an alkaline soap is used to ensure a clean start, then a chemical etch is applied to all aluminum surfaces. Lastly, the aluminum surfaces are treated with alodine. Alodine reacts with the metal of your airplane, creating a layer of aluminum oxide. This conversion to aluminum oxide is critical in assuring corrosion resistance and paint adhesion in the years to come.
