Matte black VIP paint for Gulfstream G450, carried out at General Atomics AeroTec Systems

Share

It sounds like the recent matte black paint job on SCK AVIATION’s Gulfstream G450 is quite a stunning transformation! The attention to detail, especially with the glossy highlights and customised lettering, really sets it apart.

It’s interesting how they utilised a laser pointer and computer-cut paint templates for the diagonal stripes, ensuring precision in the design. Achieving a flawless finish with matte paint is indeed a challenge, requiring meticulous work without room for touch-ups or reworking, unlike high-gloss finishes.

SCK AVIATION’s emphasis on perfection and attention to even the smallest details, like the specially designed registration font and adherence to aircraft manuals for technical markings, shows their commitment to quality and aesthetics.

It seems Sandra Corinna Kinzl, the owner, was thoroughly impressed by the outcome, expressing that it exceeded expectations in person, which is a testament to the craftsmanship involved. This project truly showcases SCK AVIATION’s dedication to transforming aircraft into lifestyle statements, maintaining exceptionally high standards in their work.
