Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings is now accepting entries for its 2025 Aerospace Coatings calendar, which showcases superb aircraft paint schemes and exterior finishes completed with Sherwin-Williams coatings.  

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings introduces the new Jet Prep™ Pretreatment (CM0220P01), a chrome-free, water-based, translucent, sol-gel metal pretreatment solution designed specifically for the aerospace industry. The two-component pretreatment kit provides superior adhesion and corrosion protection over aluminum substrates and pairs with aerospace-grade corrosion-protective epoxy primers and topcoat paint systems.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings launches Fill Bond Flex Aerospace Filler (FBF100) as a new, convenient method for filling seams, rivets and small spot repair areas on aircraft prior to painting. The high-quality, two-component polyester filler kit is designed to block and permanently conceal surface imperfections on composite exterior aircraft surfaces. The lightweight filler provides performance, versatility and productivity by offering strong adhesion, resistance of shrinkage, sandability, flexibility, and stain resistance, making it ideal for creating smooth surfaces for topcoat applications.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings adds a new aerospace conductive coating (CM0485115) to its line of undercoats, enabling aircraft owners to impart conductivity onto aluminum and composite substrates. The coating offers high conductivity to non-conductive substrates by producing an anti-static conductive film on their surfaces with a resistivity of 0.1 to 100,000 ohms per square meter to help static charges dissipate from antennas and radomes. The coating is designed with excellent adhesion and offers excellent fluid resistance.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings is now accepting entries for its 2023 Aerospace Coatings Calendar, which exhibits superb aircraft paint schemes and exterior finishes completed with the brand's coatings.

The "One Week Wonder" project, a hugely popular attraction in which a complete airplane is built over a seven-day period, is returning to EAA AirVenture in 2022. It will again feature the Pick the Paint poll where aviation enthusiasts and AirVenture attendees have the opportunity to vote on the aircraft's final paint design and scheme.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings introduces the Aircraft Color Visualizer, a web-based tool that enables plane owners, paint shops, aircraft designers, OEMs and aviation enthusiasts to digitally experience color combinations on a variety of aircraft types.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings announces its SKYscapes® Next Generation exterior coatings basecoat/clearcoat system has been qualified by Textron Aviation for its Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft.

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings exterior systems are now qualified by international airplane manufacturer Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. With a wide variety of topcoat products and systems now approved to the Pilatus PMS0600-52-01 standard, Pilatus gains multiple options for how it can process exterior colors and design schemes on its aircraft.
