Sherwin-Williams Next Generation Aerospace Coatings Qualified by Textron Aviation

Textron Aviation (Witchita, Kan.) has qualified Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings’ SKYscapes Next Generation exterior coatings basecoat/clearcoat system for its Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft.

Including both solid and effect colors, the new qualification expands the relationship between Textron Aviation and Sherwin-Williams. Textron Aviation previously qualified, and continues to utilize, the Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Acry Glo and Jet Glo Express systems for use in both Original Equipment Manufacturer OEM and repaint settings.

“This additional qualification provides Textron Aviation’s customers with multiple options,”  says Molly Moses, Sherwin-Williams Aerospace North America Sales Manager. “[Customers] can continue to utilize a traditional, single-stage system like Jet Glo Express or Acry Glo, or if they want to utilize a basecoat-clearcoat finish, Textron Aviation now offers SKYscapes Next Generation. Depending upon the complexity of the scheme and the customer’s preferences, this gives Textron Aviation an array of optimized solutions.”
