  • We give a ‪@IowaFlyingFarmer‬'s Thrush 850 a much needed paint correction and ceramic coating.
    00:00 Introduction - Can we take a Luscombe to work?
    02:14 Lets start this project
    04:27 Paint Correction test spot
    06:24 The problem of massive wings
    09:04 Ceramic Coating to protect our hard work
    10:04 Working miracles on the Spinner
    11:45 The Glossiest Crop duster in the World
    The paint on this plane was really dull and faded due to UV exposure, PT6 turboprop exhaust, and cleaning chemicals. We started by doing a heavy paint correction to remove all of the scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. This restored the shine to the paint and made it look like new.
    After the paint correction, we applied a ceramic coating. Ceramic coatings are a type of paint protection that provides a number of benefits, including:
    - Increased shine
    - Resistance to UV rays, and chemicals
    - Easy to clean
    We used a high-quality ceramic coating on this plane, and based on our nearly decade of coating PT6 powered aircraft, we're confident this Trush 850 will be shining for years to come.
    The results of this paint correction and ceramic coating are amazing. The paint on this plane is now shinier than ever before, and it's protected from the elements for years to come. If you're looking for a way to improve the look and protection of your plane, a paint correction and ceramic coating is a great option.

    Greetings and thanks for the most recent contribution to the series.
    It wasn't mentioned in the comments section: Are you using the "Last Cut" or different compound for the initial correction? Which cutting pads are you currently liking?
    Thanks for the ongoing videos!

    Wow that Thrush looks amazing when you finished. How many days to complete it? Not sure what you charged him, but it’s possibly better than the beginning paint job. Mostly because you added more than just a paint job. I run an ag operation for over 25 years and I wish I had known about you.

    Unreal job!
    What ceramic coating did you use?
    Also, did you use Release as your only cleaning agent prior to paint correction?
    Cheers!

    Are most aviation paints single stage ?

    Where/how are you getting your compressed air supply for cleaning pads when you travel?
    The light attachment on the buffer is pretty crafty, BTW!

    • @AvianaAircraft
      @AvianaAircraft  Před rokem

      If the hangar doesn’t have compressed air we wet wash the pads

  • @twoaxis
    @twoaxis Před rokem

    nice job you've done there! are you aware of the risk of using polishes on bare fibreglass? wax or silicone residue can actually creep into the surface making it impossible to repair.

    • @AvianaAircraft
      @AvianaAircraft  Před rokem +1

      Yes, but this does not contain the types of silicone oils you have to look out for. A quick 1500 grit sanding will obliterate the coating and prep nicely for repaint.

      I actually made a video describing exactly that! czcams.com/video/GhbAtnqF2zI/video.html
