Textron Aviation Approves SKYscapes Next-Generation Coating

Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings announced that SKYscapes Next Generation exterior coating basecoat/topcoat system has been approved by Textron Aviation for Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft. This new qualification, which includes both solid and effect colors, expands the relationship between Textron Aviation and Sherwin-Williams. Textron Aviation previously approved and continues to use Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Acry Glo® and Jet Glo Express® systems for both Original Equipment Manufacturer OEM and refinish applications. North America Sales Manager MOLLY MOSES said, "We are honored to expand our relationship with a distinguished manufacturer like Textron Aviation and iconic aircraft brands. This additional qualification provides Textron Aviation customers with multiple options; they can continue using a traditional, single-stage system such as Jet Glo Express or Acry Glo, or if they prefer to use a basecoat-topcoat coating, Textron Aviation can now offer SKYscapes Next Generation. Depending on the complexity of the scheme and customer preference, this provides Textron Aviation with a range of optimized solutions."   Sherwin-Williams manufactures exterior coatings for commercial, military and general aviation aircraft, offering specialized solutions including a wide range of custom-designed color options for an exceptional, durable finish.
