Inspection and Documentation

The aircraft should be inspected and all defects noted. A decision can then be made on the job requirements.

Stripping or Sanding

To prepare the surface for painting, the old coating needs to be removed. Stripping and sanding processes can be used depending on the age of the aircraft and the condition of the existing primer.

Silmid offer a range of paint stripping products from Socomore, and more information on these can be found here.
