Finding the right aircraft paint shop

Description:

In my last article we discussed “Finding and choosing the right aircraft paint services” but we didn’t discuss the “shop” part of it. You would be surprised that many painters do not have a shop and are working in a hangar, barn, basement or worse, in the open air. None of those environments are professional and can be a disaster for the plane owner if they choose the wrong company to work with. Having a shop to remove and add paint is crucial to the end stage of the work, and the environment. You want a perfect paint job and knowing that the company is certified, is crucial. So what are the things we need to look for in finding the right aircraft paint shop? – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Finding the right aircraft paint shop
  • In my last article we discussed Finding and
    choosing the right aircraft paint services but
    we didnt discuss the shop part of it. You
    would be surprised that many painters do not have
    a shop and are working in a hangar, barn,
    basement or worse, in the open air. None of those
    environments are professional and can be a
    disaster for the plane owner if they choose the
    wrong company to work with. Having a shop to
    remove and add paint is crucial to the end stage
    of the work, and the environment. You want a
    perfect paint job and knowing that the company is
    certified, is crucial. So what are the things we
    need to look for in finding the right aircraft
    paint shop?

Finding the right aircraft paint shop
  • The first place I would look, after you find a
    service, is to go to their website. Look for
    pictures that show the inside of the workshop, or
    even better, a spray paint booth. Check this out
    http//www.vertinc.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/
    spray-room.jpg . This is one of our planes inside
    one of our own spray paint booths. A booth is
    essential for safety and the environment. Safety,
    to keep the paint away from other buildings
    and/or people (and our employees), and the
    environment because most of these booths are
    designed with ventilation to keep the hazards
    away and to recycle.

  • The second thing I would look for or ask about is
    the shops ventilation. Controlling the spray,
    fumes, exposure, air quality, run-off,
    circulation and the effects of volatile organic
    compounds such as acetone, xylene and toluene is
    critical to health and to the ultimate finish of
    the paint job. A top notch ventilation system
    will make you feel better knowing that no one was
    harmed painting your plane and that the
    ventilation system was strong enough to allow the
    high end air flow for that perfect paint job
    experience we want.

  • The last thing I would look for is buildings -
    plural. You cannot paint an airplane and go
    through all of the processes without several
    buildings for sanding, priming, painting and
    drying. Especially if they are painting more than
    one plane. If a paint shop only has one building,
    then the process to completion will take a very
    long time. Many months compared to weeks. Our
    professional and seasoned airplane paint shops
    have at least 3 different locations where we do
    sanding, painting, finishing, drying and finally
    storage. In this case, the bigger the company,
    the better.

Finding the right aircraft paint shop
  • There are several good aircraft paint shops out
    there and our last article shows you where you
    can find them. The above red flags should give
    you enough information to choose the right shop.
    Since painting an aircraft is an expensive
    ordeal, we want you to make sure you choose the
    right aircraft paint company. By having all of
    your ducks in a row before you let them touch
    your baby will give you complete confidence in
    the painters. Their job is to sell you on their
    service while your job is to choose the right
    one.
