AIRCRAFT PAINTING

One of the services of RUH Aviation MRO is high-quality aircraft painting.

– Full or partial painting

– Infliction of registration numbers, emblems, logos or liveries of varying complexity.

– Our employees trained in the best European companies specializing in aircraft painting.

– We use the highest quality materials.

– The first step is to conduct a thorough check for cosmetic and mechanical damages.

– After cleaning of old paint and cosmetic defects are eliminated starts corrosion control process.

– Then the three-stage process begins

– Manual grouting, the aluminum surfaces are processed by Alodine, which reacts with the metal of the aircraft, creating a layer of aluminum oxide.

– This conversion to oxide alumina is critical to ensure corrosion resistance and paint adhesion in subsequent years. Depending on the aircraft type, an epoxy surface layer is applied to provide a perfectly smooth surface on which the main coat of paint is applied. To ensure the paint has a “wet look” and to ensure proper adhesion, a layer of polyurethane base coat is then applied.

– Depends on the client needs, our team applies the customer’s Livery to match the appearance of the aircraft in relation to the company’s fleet.

– In most MROs your aircraft will be finished, but in RUH AVIATION work continues, our “standard paint job” includes many additions:

– Polishing the plane, including things like hinges and locks
